Turn the unit on momentarily to allow the door to be opened. Open the door,
then turn the unit off to stop the chamber from pre-heating and proceed with
cleaning.
Caution!
Make sure the autoclave is not hot before cleaning it.
•
Clean the door, door gasket and outside rim of the chamber with a
mild detergent, water and a soft cloth or sponge. The gasket should be
clean and smooth. Be sure to clean the inside and outside of the
gasket flap.
•
Remove the tray holder and trays. Clean the interior of the chamber
with a damp cloth or sponge. Wiping out the chamber each morning
will keep the chamber clean.
•
Clean the tray holder and trays with a non-abrasive stainless-steel
cleaner and water, using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse the tray holder
and trays immediately after cleaning with clean water to avoid staining
the metal. Wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
CAUTION!
Do not use steel wool, steel brushes, bleach or any cleaning agent
containing bleach or anything abrasive to clean the chamber, tray
holder or trays. Doing so will damage the chamber and trays!
