How To Clean And Maintain Self-checkout Kiosk?

 Self-checkout is gaining more and more popularity from both retailers and consumers. 75% of people said that they preferred to purchase products using self-checkout as it can save time, Consumer Reports reported.

When it comes to the device that promotes business growth, it is quite important to do well in its clean and maintain jobs. Here are a few practical tips to ensure self-checkout kiosks are normally up and running.

 

Place it in the proper environment. Different kinds of self-checkout kiosks are made of various materials and have quite different demands on the environment. Please don’t place an indoor-rated kiosk outside or in an area with numerous dust or particles in the air, because accumulated dust is easy to cause malfunction of the kiosk.

The cleaning method is to remove the outer shell of the kiosk and wipe it with a damp cloth (please contact the supplier if the outer shell is not easy to remove).

 

Keep clean. The touchscreen could be recognized as the most prominent part when it comes to cleanliness. Taken specialized nature into consideration, it will be better to follow the manufacturer's specification for cleaning supplies and methods. Besides, please don’t forget to do some occasional cleaning on other equipment such as checkout counter, POS machine, printer, etc.

 

Lubricate regularly. The motor gear inside the self-checkout kiosk will consume the lubrication after a long time of working, which will reduce motor speed during rotation and even make some noise. This problem can be easily solved by applying some lubricating oil to reduce friction.

 

Treat softly. Please do not use hard objects to knock or vibrate the self-checkout kiosk. Rough handling will damage the internal circuit boards and delicate structures.

It is worth mentioning that Telpo's latest self-checkout kiosk K5 has an air switch put on the right side, which can protect kiosk from overload and short circuit and ensure safety. And its industrial-grade 21.5-inch display and 1080 * 1920 HD screen enable to clearly display content, and maintain stable operation all day. Meanwhile, simple and clear operation interface is convenient for customers to checkout by themselves.
