• Do not stretch the seal.
a. Align right and left reference indicators with drill point
reference marks in seal groove, align top and bottom
indicators with the drill point reference marks in seal groove.
NOTE: Reference indicators are located inside the rear
groove of door seal, at the middle of each side (refer to
Figure 10-1 for 26 x 26” [660 x 660 mm] sterilizers, or
Figure 10-2 for 26 x 37.5” [660 x 953 mm] sterilizers).
b. Press seal in at each reference point with fingertips.
c. Press seal in at each corner with fingertips.
d. Press remainder of the seal into end frame groove.
7. Test installation.
a. Attempt to close the door. If the door sticks or will not fully
close at any point in its travel, ensure the seal has been fully
pressed into the groove.
b. Run a shortened test cycle to determine if the door seals
adequately. If steam leaks from around the door or the seal,
abort the cycle and examine the seal to ensure it has been
properly seated in the end frame groove. Once re-seated,
run another test cycle. If the door fails to seal following the
second test, another problem may exist. Contact your
supervisor before using the sterilizer further.
At the end of the cycle, ensure seal has retracted fully into
the groove.
