Sterilization System Routine Maintenance Guide
Cleaning the Sterilizer
The outside surfaces of the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer can be cleaned
with a mild detergent. The inside of the sterilization chamber does not
normally require cleaning. The chamber door and the chamber should
not be cleaned with an abrasive, such as a wire brush or steel wool. If
you have any questions regarding cleaning the STERRAD 100S
Sterilizer, call the ASP Customer Care Center at 1-888-STERRAD.
Caution: Do NOT clean the chamber door area with
abrasives. The sterilization chamber uses an
o-ring vacuum seal to maintain a vacuum in
the chamber. Never use rough cleaning
tools, such as a wire brush or steel wool, on
the door housing or chamber assembly.
This could damage the seal.
Master Reset
The master reset must only be done when specifically directed in the
Troubleshooting Chapter or by an ASP Customer Care Representative.
The master reset is best accomplished by two people. There is NO
danger to the operator or the system when performing this operation.
To perform a master reset, do the following:
1. One person remains at the front of the system, the second person
moves to the rear of the system.
2. The person at the rear of the system turns the system main power
circuit breaker to the
OFF
(DOWN) position. The circuit breaker
resembles a large on/off light switch and is located at the bottom, left
side of the system.
3. The person at the front of the system presses and holds
CANCEL
on
the control panel and instructs the person at the rear of the system to
switch the circuit breaker to the
ON
(UP) position while continuing
to hold the
CANCEL
button for 10 seconds or until the system
beeps. When the system beeps, the master reset is complete.
4. The person at the front of the system verifies the master reset was
successful by viewing the message on the display. The display shows
a series of numbers/letters in the following format XX-XXXXX-X-
XXX.
