Kirby Lester KL16 Series Daily Cleaning Instructions

Daily Cleaning Instructions: KL16 Series
Clean the following components at least once daily. Clean more frequently if your pharmacy
dispenses many dust‐generating medications or if you experience counting errors.
Materials: 70% isopropyl alcohol, lint‐free cloth and water.
Do not use facial tissue, cotton balls or cotton swabs to clean the unit.
Before starting, unplug the unit.
1. Top Funnel
o Remove the top funnel and middle channel from the unit.
o Clean outside and inside thoroughly with alcohol.
2. Glass Detector Windows
The unit's counting sensors are located behind four glass
windows inside the square funnel hole. Most counting errors are caused by pill dust
accumulating on the edges and corners of the windows. Clean the windows well.
o Wipe off excess pill dust on the detector windows with a dry lint‐free
cloth.
o Wet a clean cloth with alcohol and clean the inside of the four glass
windows thoroughly to remove all remaining dust and residue. Carefully
wipe back‐and‐forth, not up‐and‐down.
o Do not press hard as this may break the glass windows. Broken windows
are not covered under the warranty.
o Wipe glass windows dry with clean cloth to remove alcohol streaks.
3. Counting Tray (KL16 only)
o Carefully remove the clear plastic tray cover. Clean all parts thoroughly with a water‐
dampened cloth (not alcohol). Wipe dry. Replace the tray cover.
o Turn the tray over, and wipe the silver sensor strip with a water‐dampened cloth (not
alcohol).
4. Tray Sensor (KL16 only)
o (Located on the bottom of the unit in back of the counting tray.) This sensor
detects the tray's silver sensor strip, telling the unit that the tray is properly
seated.
o With the counting tray removed, tip the unit carefully to access the tray
sensor. Clean with a water‐dampened cloth (not alcohol).
