CAUTION
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
● Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning all stainless-steel, painted, or plastic external surfaces on the
Unit. Follow directions on the container. For stainless steel, rub in a back-and-forth motion (in the
same direction as the surface grain). Abrasive cleaners damage stainless steel and aluminum. Cleaner
rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool can be harmful to stainless steel
and aluminum. Do not use abrasive cleaners on painted or plastic surfaces.
● Never use a wire brush, abrasives or steel wool on inside of door and chamber assembly.
STERIS recommends that the painted and stainless-steel external surfaces of the Low Temperature Sterilization
System be cleaned with a mild detergent solution and one quart water or a mild window-cleaning solution, as follows:
NOTE: When cleaning the Sterilization Unit, note the following:
• See Table 8-1for recommended cleaning products.
• STERIS recommends an occasional application of Stainless Steel Cleaner to stainless-steel surfaces.
• Avoid getting water/detergent on the Touch Screen and Printer areas. Wring out cloth before wiping the control panel.
• If equipped, do NOT step on the foot pedal and open the door.
1. Press Standby Screen touch pad on CYCLE screen.
2. Apply a cleaning solution with a damp cloth, rubbing in a back and forth motion (parallel to surface grain on
stainless steel).
3. Rinse cloth and wipe off any detergent residue, then dry surfaces with a clean, lint-free cloth.
