ATTENTION
Aggressive cleaning agents, solvents and abrasive cleaning utensils
(hard sponges, brushes) can scratch surfaces, damage the equip-
ment and impair its function. In addition, do not use cleaning
agents containing chlorine, as stainless steel is not resistant to
substances containing chlorine.
Disinfectants
Only use quaternary ammonium compounds for wipe-down disinfec-
tion. As a tried as tested disinfectant, we recommend Fermacidal D2.
An alcohol-based disinfectant (e.g. 70 % ethanol) can be used to
rinse the system.
Materials
If other cleaning or disinfecting agents should be used, it is the re-
sponsibility of the operator to check whether the agent is compatible
with the materials used. The following table gives an overview of the
materials of the components of the pressure elimination unit.

Autoclaving the Pressure Elimination Unit
After cleaning, the pressure elimination unit can be sterilized in an
autoclave if required. Proceed as follows:
CAUTION
If there is no pressure compensation, overpressure may occur in
the vessel. Therefore always keep the hose piece with the filter
open.
ATTENTION
If the vessel is autoclaved empty, no steam can build up. The steri-
lization success is not guaranteed.
Ensure that there is approx. 40 ml water in the vessel.
