Checks and cleaning

Door seals, chamber, chamber sealing surface, racks, trays
Inspect the chamber including the door seal and chamber sealing surface and the racks for loading once a
week for any soiling, deposits or damage. If you detect any contamination, remove any trays or cassettes
and the rack from the chamber. Clean the contaminated parts.
Pay attention to the following when cleaning the chamber, the racks for loading, chamber sealing surface,
and door seal:
 Switch off the autoclave before cleaning and remove the power plug from the socket
 Ensure that the chamber is not hot
 Use a soft and lint-free cloth
 Use cleaning agents that do not contain chlorine or acetic acid
 First soak the cloth with cleaning alcohol or spirits and try to remove the soiling with the cloth
 For stubborn soiling only on the chamber, rack or chamber sealing surface use a mild stainless steel
cleaning agent with a pH between 5 and 8
 To clean the door seal use a neutral liquid cleaning agent
 Cleaning agent must not enter the pipes that exit the autoclave chamber
 Do not use hard objects such as pot cleaners made of metal or steel brushes
WARNING
Surfaces may be scratched or damaged and sealing surfaces may develop leaks. Dirt
deposits and corrosion in the sterilization chamber would be encouraged.

Internal water storage tank
NOTE
Ensure that any soiling is removed from the tank using a cloth without leaving any residue. If dirt
particles are only detached but not removed, when the waste water tank is emptied they may
enter the dirt particle filter that is integrated into the drain hose.
Failure to comply with this instruction could impair the service life of the dirt particle filter
and require replacement within a short period.
If you supply the feed water manually from the internal water storage tank, check the feed water side (right
side) for any contamination before adding water. If necessary, clean the tank before filling with a cloth and
clean feed water.
Clean the waste water side (left chamber) of the internal water storage tank every two weeks.
Empty both chambers of the water storage tank as follows:
Plug the drain hose onto a quick coupling (drain tank on the left, feed water tank on the right) until
1.
it perceptibly snaps into place.
Drain the water into a vessel or container with a capacity of at least 5 liters.
2.
Repeat this procedure for the other chamber.
3.
To remove the drain hose, press the gray release key on the quick coupling. The hose automatically
disengages from the coupling.
