Cleaning and Maintenance
Return To Table Of Contents
After installation has been completed, thoroughly clean the chair and upholstery.
After the initial cleaning, it should be cleaned as necessary and at least weekly.
Observe the following instructions.
A NOTE ABOUT THE UPHOLSTERY: All Knight Chair upholstery is made from the highest
quality materials available and is designed for maximum patient comfort, easy cleaning
and durability. Knight Chair upholstery will provide years of service when correctly
maintained according to the Operator and Care Manual. Like all fine upholstery some
minor wrinkles, waves or changes may occur. These changes are natural and in no way affect the
performance or life of the product.
CLEANING THE
UPHOLSTERY
When cleaning upholstery, it is
suggested that you use all
recommended commercial
cleaning agents in an
inconspicuous spot to check
for potential damage to the
upholstery material before
applying to the entire area to
be cleaned. For everyday
cleaning, we recommend a
mild dish washing liquid, warm
water, and a damp white
cloth. Spraying upholstery with
a silicone-based coating will
improve luster and soil
resistance.
CLEANING PAINTED
SURFACES
The painted metal surfaces are
covered in durable, powder-
coated paint which is resistant
to scratching and scuffing. It
may be cleaned with a clean
cloth dampened with mild,
soapy water. To add luster and
dirt resistance, use a pre-
softened car wax.
RECOMMENDED
INFECTION CONTROL
PRODUCTS
The disinfectant/cleaner
products that we have tested
and recommend for our
upholstery, painted items and
plastic covers are as follows:
Cavicide
distributed by E&D Dental
Products Inc., Westfield, NJ
Precise - Hospital Foam
Cleaner Disinfectant
manufactured by Caltech
Industries, Inc., Midland, MI
CAUTION: Follow
manufacturer's
directions for
concentration and
application of disinfecting
material. Avoid prolonged
application of any disinfectant/
cleaner products, because
they may cause staining of
upholstery material.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Only in case of no power to the
chair should dental personnel
attempt to remedy the
problem. In this case, (1) make
sure that the power cord is
firmly plugged into the
receptacle or (2) check that
the main circuit breaker to the
chair is turned on.
CAUTION: All
troubleshooting and
maintenance on the
chair should be
performed by a qualified
technician. Dental personnel
must not attempt to perform
any maintenance functions on
the chair, attempt to replace
any fuses or other electronic
components, or attempt to
gain access to the motors or
other units.
LUBRICATION
After extended use your chair
may require lubrication at pivot
joints (i.e. chair back pivot
joint). Lubricate the joints with
a drop of light weight oil or
silicone lubricant.
