Before cleaning and other maintenance of any part of the device, first switch off the device and
disconnect it from the mains. The surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a liquid (non-
abrasive) cleaning product.
General Cleaning
Wipe the device surface down with a cloth moistened with soap water or a disinfectant. The cloth
should not be dripping wet; do not allow liquids to enter the device
Cleaning the Saddle
Clean the saddle with a soft and dry or moist cloth. Disinfectants used should not contain any alcohol.
Cleaning the Upholstery (e.g. couch ergometer)
Wipe the upholstery down with a soft cloth moistened with soap water. The cloth should only be moist
and not dripping wet. If the cleaning agents and disinfectants used are caustic or contain alcohol, they
may damage and/or discolor the upholstery.
If you are not certain about the discolouring effect of a cleaning agent, you may try a little on a part of
the product that is not visible during normal use.
Lode cannot advise a specific cleaning agent, since local recipes may differ.
10 - Control with an External Device
If your device is fitted with a communication card you can connect to many external devices.
