11. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
11.1. Preventive and Scheduled Maintenance
The maintenance operations described in this chapter have to be
fulfilled periodically to keep the device in good condition and to reduce
the breakdown time to a minimum.
The user can easily execute these operations in accordance with further
instructions.
The owner of the autoclave is responsible to order an authorized
technician to perform the periodical tests and preventive maintenance
operations, as specified in para. 11.1.3.2.
Use only mineral-free water as detailed in para. 2.9 (water quality).
11.1.1 Daily by the operator
Clean door gasket with a soft cloth. The gasket should be
clean and smooth.
11.1.2 Weekly by the operator
1. Check the interior of the autoclave. If the autoclave is
dirty it requires cleaning as follows:
Take out the tray holder and trays. Clean the tray
holder, trays and chamber's interior (especially its
bottom part) with a cleaning agent & water. Wipe off
the sediments from the chamber bottom with a sponge.
You may use diluted Chamber Brite™ solution as
cleaning agent. To prepare this solution, pour one bag
of Chamber Brite™ into 3/4 – 1 liter of warm mineral-
free water. Immediately after cleaning, rinse the tray
holder, trays and chamber's interior with water to avoid
stains on the metal.

reservoir using a cleaning agent as described above.
CAUTION:
Do not use steel wool or steel brush as this can damage
the chamber!

If the autoclave was not used, drain the water from the
mineral free water reservoir once a week, and refill
with fresh mineral-free water or distilled water (see
para. 11.2).
