APPENDIX C – MAINTENANCE
The table summarizes the maintenance required to keep the sterilizer operating at peak
efficiency.
In the case of very intense use, we recommend shortening maintenance intervals:
DAILY
WEEKLY
WHEN REQUIRED
YEARLY
Keep the following general warnings in mind
-
Do not wash the unit with direct jets of water, either under pressure or sprinkled.
Seepage into electrical and electronic components could damage the functioning of
the device or its internal parts, even irreparably;
-
Do not use abrasive cloths, metal brushes (or other aggressive materials) or
products for metal cleaning, whether solids or liquids;
-
Do not use chemicals products or disinfectants. In fact these products may damage
internal components, even irremediably.
-
Do not allow lime residue or other substances to accumulate in the tank, on the
door or its gasket; periodically remove any residues. In fact, they can damage these
parts over time in addition to compromising the operation of the components
installed along the plumbing circuit.
BEFORE PERFORMING ORDINARY MAINTENANCE, MAKE SURE
THAT THE STERILIZER'S MAIN SWITCH IS TURNED OFF.
WHENEVER IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DISCONNECT THE
ELECTRICITY TO THE DEVICE, OR IF THE EXTERNAL POWER
GRID SWITCH IS FAR AWAY OR, AT ANY RATE, NOT VISIBLE TO
THE MAINTAINER, PLACE A WORK IN PROGRESS SIGN ON THE
EXTERNAL POWER GRID SWITCH AFTER TURNING IT OFF
