when the load is moistened again on the admission of steam to the
chamber.
• The load is left in the chamber for a long time without the process
being completed. This probably happens when the process has been
interrupted because of a fault and the load has not been taken out of
the chamber.
Ignition takes place when the process is completed and the load is
exposed to air.
Users should be aware of the risks and establish procedures to ensure
that loads are not left in a heated chamber for longer than necessary.
Weekly cleaning
External cleaning
Clean stainless steel surfaces on the outside of the sterilizer with a
standard domestic cleaner that does not contain abrasives. Take care
when cleaning painted surfaces, texts and plastic parts.
Cleaning the chamber
When cleaning inside the chamber, a keyswitch on the front can be used
to block the door open, and the chamber preheating is shut off at the
same time.
On double-ended sterilizers, the keyswitch can also be used to open and
block the unloading door for better access; see below..
• Turn the keyswitch to the locked position when the
sterilizer is in standby mode and take out the key. The
message “DOOR KEYSWITCH” appears on the oper-
ator panel display.
• Open the door by pressing “Open door”. Let the sterilizer cool down
before starting work.
The sterilizer should have cooled down before cleaning.
When the keyswitch cannot be constantly observed, the
person doing the cleaning must always take the key with
them. This is to ensure that no-one mistakenly resets the
keyswitch.
• Clean the strainer in the chamber floor drain.
