11.3 Cleaning and Replacing Air Trap Jet
(Located in the water reservoir)
The elimination of air pockets from the sterilization chamber during heating
and sterilization phases is achieved by means of the air trap jet.
This device consists of a small orifice that is obtrusive and opened by a
small wire moving forth and back.
The air pockets and small steam quantities are pushed up by the steam
pressure and evacuated through this orifice.
Caution:
Before starting, ensure that the electric cord is disconnected and that
there is no pressure in the autoclave.
1. Remove the water reservoir cover.
2. Clean the hole of the jet by manipulating the air trap wire back and forth
(A).
3. In case it is necessary to replace the air trap jet, allow the instrument to
cool and the pressure to drop to 0 before removing the jet.
It is important to clean the hole of the air trap, as described at point 2
before starting operation of the autoclave, for the first time.
11.4 Replacing the Safety Valve
Caution
Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that
there is no pressure in the autoclave.
1. Remove the water reservoir cover.
2. Unscrew the safety valve and remove it from the safety valve base.
3. Replace it with a new safety valve (ensure the safety valve is an original
one!)
4. Test all autoclave.
