8.2. Dismantling the quartz sleeve
Every year the quartz sleeve needs to be checked to ensure that it is not clouded by limescale deposits. It must be
perfectly transparent so that ultraviolet rays are not obstructed.

The steriliser must be SWITCHED OFF, ISOLATED, and DRAINED.
Once isolated and switched off, the reactor can be drained by
loosening the lower union.
Remove the bulb (see previous paragraph)
Remove the sealing washer by unscrewing the 3 screws with an Allen key (size
2.5).
Carefully remove the quartz sleeve:
Insert your thumb or a finger inside the sleeve and gently pull it up until the seal
is disengaged, while keeping it straight.
Take hold of the quartz sleeve to extract it completely from the device, ALWAYS
keeping it straight.
If whitish limescale deposits are present, they must be cleaned with white
vinegar or an acid and a soft cloth. The quartz must not be scratched, as this
would alter the ultraviolet radiation.
