Cleaning the meter

Your meter uses an optical measuring method that relies heavily on all
of its components being clean. Owing to the way the test strip works,
the meter does not normally come into direct contact with blood or
control solution. Regular cleaning is therefore largely unnecessary. In
the event of the meter becoming soiled through improper use, cleaning
it may become necessary.
Wipe away any soiling from the housing or display with a cloth lightly
moistened with cold water or 70 % ethanol.
Clean the test strip guide and measuring window thoroughly if
the test strip guide has become visibly soiled,
error message E-5 is displayed (see Chapter 12.2) and the soiled
measuring window is the cause.
