Daily Cleaning Instructions: KL1 (Clear Top Funnel)
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 or mild soapy water (e.g., dish soap), lint-free cloth or paper
towels. Do not use facial tissue, cotton balls or cotton swabs.
Before starting, turn off the unit and unplug it.
1. Funnel
A. Remove the funnel and channel from the unit.
B. Clean outside and inside thoroughly with mild soapy water. Do not use
alcohol.
2. Glass Detector Windows
The unit’s counting sensors are located behind the four glass detector windows
(windows) inside the square hole. Most counting errors are caused by pill
dust accumulating on the edges and corners of the windows. Clean the
windows well.
A. Wipe off excess pill dust on the four windows with a dry cloth.
B. Wet a clean cloth with mild soapy water or alcohol and clean the four
windows thoroughly to remove all remaining dust and residue. Wipe
back-and-forth, not up-and-down. Do not press hard as this may break
the windows.
C. Wipe glass windows dry with clean cloth to remove streaks.
3. Counting Tray
Clean thoroughly with mild soapy water. Do not use alcohol.
4. Tray Sensor
Located on the KL1-a behind the counting tray when the tray is fully inserted.
This sensor tells the unit that the tray is properly seated. With the tray
removed, clean the sensor window with water. Wipe dry to remove streaks.
Note about the use of mild soapy water versus isopropyl alcohol: Mild soapy water and
alcohol both provide appropriate sanitary cleansing. Water leaves fewer streaks than
alcohol on a Kirby Lester device's inside glass sensor windows. If streaks are found after
cleaning, use just water and wipe dry. In general, prolonged alcohol exposure causes
faster wear-and-tear on plastic.
