13.3 Cleaning the Air Jet
(Located in the water reservoir.)
A dirty air jet is the number one cause of failed spore tests
The elimination of air from the sterilization chamber during heat up is
critical to the proper operation of the autoclave. Failure of the air removal
system will be responsible for incomplete sterilization, indicator strips that
do not turn, failed spore tests and aborted sterilization cycles. A clogged
air jet will result in receiving the error message “Low Heat”.
The air jet consists of a small orifice with a clean out wire inserted in it
(wire is permanently installed and will not come out). It is required that the
air jet be cleaned once per week or more often if necessary, to remove any
accumulated dirt and debris.
It is preferred to clean the air jet when the unit is running a cycle and under
pressure. Any loosened debris will be blown away, however, it can be
done while the unit is idle.
1. Remove the water reservoir cover.
2. Clean the hole of the jet by manipulating the air trap wire back and
forth 10 times.
It is important to clean the hole of the air trap, as described at point 2 before starting
operation of the autoclave, for the first time.
