9.13 Replacing the Door Gasket
Warning!
Before replacing the gasket, verify that the autoclave is cold; that the power is
turned OFF; and, that there is no pressure in the jacket and in the chamber.
1. Remove the damaged gasket.
2. Check the new gasket and verify that it is not damaged.
3. Verify that the gasket groove is clean.
4. Begin inserting the gasket into the groove by pressing it into the middle of the
upper part of the groove. Verify that the point of the glued end (1) (the part of
the silicon tube where the two ends meet) is placed in the middle of the upper
groove.
5. Insert the gasket into the groove in the middle of each side (2) (top, bottom, left
and right) and in each corner.
6. Continue to insert the gasket into the groove in the middle of each loose part,
i.e. between two inserted points (3) & (4).
The final adjustment of the gasket will be done automatically at the first "closing door."
