4.5 Disinfecting
Disinfect all individual parts after cleaning. Only components
that have been cleaned can be disinfected effectively.
The validated disinfection procedures are described below.
In boiling water
EQUIPMENT:
– Clean cooking pot
– Drinking water
PROCEDURE:
CAUTION
Risk of infection due to moisture
Moisture encourages the growth of bacteria.
• Remove all parts from the pot as soon as the disinfection
process is finished and allow them to dry.
• NOTE! Risk of damage to plastic parts! Plastic will melt if
it comes into contact with the hot base of the pot. Make sure
there is enough water in the pot to prevent the individual
parts from touching the pot base.
Place all the individual parts in water at a rolling boil for at
least 5 minutes.
DRYING:
• Shake the water out of all of the parts.
• Place all parts on a dry, clean and absorbent surface and al-
low them to dry completely.
