SERVICE PROCEDURES
The material in this section is provided to allow for servicing components of
the sterilizer most likely to need attention. These procedures are more
advanced than cleaning and replacing expendables (such as printer paper
and door seals). These procedures should always be performed by an
experienced, trained service technician.
The purpose of the bacterial air filter is to filter air entering the sterilization
chamber. The chamber is exposed to contamination whenever the filter or the
air lines below the filter are opened. Keep these components as clean as
possible when servicing. The bacterial air filter contains a replaceable filter
cartridge; refer to
Table 11-1, Preventive Maintenance Schedule,
for fre-
quency.
1. Remove the old filter element and discard.
2. Insert the new filter, P101006-172.
The strainers should be opened for cleaning after initial start-up and at least twice a
year thereafter (refer to Preventive Maintenance Schedule). Accumulation of sedi-
ment and rust will reduce pressure and flow. In extreme conditions, complete
blockage may occur.
•••••
Disassembly
Shut off supply and then vent pressure in-line by running a short sterilizer cycle.
Abort the cycle when no pressure is present in the steam or water lines.
1. Assure water and steam lines are still shut off.
2. Remove hex plug and gasket.
3. Pull out strainer screen from body.
4. Scrape and polish all rust and residue from strainer screen and body. Use
a wire brush or steel wool. Be sure that all perforations are clear. Replace
screen if damaged, rusted, or corroded.
