DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURE (AT THE END OF

When sterilizing culture mediums that generate sul-
de gas or chlorine gas, the inside of the chamber
must be cleaned and rinsed thoroughly without fail.
1. Remove bottom splash bafe.
IMPORTANT
STERILIZING CHAMBER MUST BE CLEANED
AND DRAINED DAILY USING THE FOLLOW-
ING PROCEDURE. WASH WETTED PORTION
OF THE CYLINDER THOROUGHLY BY ADDING
A MILD DETERGENT TO WATER IN CYLIN-
DER.
2. If a soft cloth or brush is used with the detergent and
does not completely remove the surface lm, a nylon
soap pad should be used. After washing thoroughly
rinse with clean water. Dry cylinder* and leave door
open overnight.
* The Sterilmatic cylinder is constructed of corrosion re-
sistant Alclad aluminum alloy. The protective properties of
this material afforded to the interior portion of the cylinder
which is exposed to water may be destroyed by allowing
a lm to form. Such a lm can be caused by salts or other
contaminants in the water. Corrosion may also occur if
water is not drained daily.
