Cleaning The Sterilisation Chamber And Internal Components; Cleaning The Porthole; Cleaning The External Front Panel; Cleaning The Porthole Seal - Faro nisea Serie Manual De Uso

5.1.1 Cleaning the sterilisation chamber and internal components

Use a soft cloth soaked in water to avoid damaging the protective surface treatment of the chamber. Rinse tho-
roughly with water and then dry. If necessary, moisten the cloth with white vinegar to remove any limescale.
However, we recommend cleaning the chamber only when strictly necessary. If there are limescale deposits, im-
mediately check what is causing them. White patches forming at the bottom of the chamber means that the water
used is of poor quality or does not comply with the required specifications.

5.1.2 Cleaning the porthole

Use a soft cloth soaked in water to avoid damaging the protective treatment of the porthole. Rinse thoroughly
with water and then dry. DO NOT USE metallic or particularly abrasive cloths for cleaning. Using them could
damage the external surface of the porthole.

5.1.3 Cleaning the external front panel

Use a soft cloth soaked in alcohol, taking care not to let it penetrate into the autoclave internal parts. Never use
detergents based on trilene, benzene or turpentine or solvents of any kind. DO NOT USE metallic or particularly
abrasive cloths for cleaning.

5.1.4 Cleaning the porthole seal

Clean the seal with a soft cloth moistened with water or white vinegar, to remove any limescale. Rinse thoroughly
if you used vinegar.
This procedure serves to remove impurities that can cause pressure loss in the sterilisation chamber and possibly
break the seal.

5.1.5 Cleaning the filter in the chamber

- Remove the tray holder with the trays from the chamber
- Rinse the filter thoroughly with water.
- Reposition the filter on the bottom of the chamber and screw it back in place.
If the cleaning operation does not produce satisfactory results, call Faro Technical Support.

5.1.6 Replacing the Bacterial or Bio X filter

Open the autoclave door
- Unscrew the filter (2 Fig. 1) by turning it anticlockwise.
- Screw the new filter in clockwise, making sure that it is tightened properly.

5.1.7 Replacing the porthole seal

This must be carried out by qualified technicians.

5.1.8 Cleaning the dust filter (if provided)

Remove the dust filter from the bottom of the autoclave (19 fig. 1), rinse it thoroughly with water and dry it before
refitting it.
