Replacing the Air Filter
Cautions!
Carefully un-pack the new filter and examine it for any signs
of damage.
Remove any protective packaging before inserting the filter
into place.
To
“break” the vacuum, at the end of the dry phase, filtered
atmospheric air is allowed to enter the chamber via a solenoid valve.
The filtration of the air is performed by the bacteriological (HEPA) filter.
The filter is mounted on the rear wall of the autoclave enclosure, to
allow easy access for replacing. (see Rear View, position 4).
To replace the filter, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the filter cover (2), by turning the cover counterclockwise until
it is released.
2.
Remove the filter (3) from the filter cover by unscrewing the filter from
the filter cover.
4.
Replace the filter with a new one. Connect the filter (3) to the flexible
tubing (5) and tightening it with a tie wrap (4).
5.
Connect the filter to the filter cover by screwing the filter (3) into the
hole in the cover (1).
