OPERATOR MAINTENANCE It is the responsibility of the user to establish a periodic maintenance procedure to assure correct operation of the equipment and reliable sterilization of the loads. Contact your local distributor or representative to develop a program for planned maintenance. Daily 1. Clean External Surfaces - Wipe with a soft dry cloth and wash occasionally with a damp cloth and mild soap or detergent. WARNING Make sure that the unit is cool when cleaning the door gasket and any mating surfaces. Failure to do so could result in seri- ous burns to hands. 2. Clean Sterilizer Door Gasket- Clean door gasket and mating surface with a damp cloth. Examine gasket for possible damage that could prevent a good sealing surface. Weekly EQUIPMENT ALERT ODo not use abrasive or bleaching agents in the chamber (i.e. steel o wool, scouring powder, bleach, etc.). Also, never use a wire brush. If these materials are used, possible damage to the metal surfaces of the chamber and other components could result. Operator Maintenance 1. Clean Chamber and Trays - The sterilizing chamber and instrument trays should be cleaned weekly. First, drain the water from the reservoir. A drain tube is located on the front of the unit for draining. Wash the inside of the chamber and the trays with mild soap or Speed-Clean and distilled or dem- ineralized water. Refill the reservoir with distilled or demineralized water. Monthly 1. Flush the System - To protect the intricate parts of the unit, the system must be flushed once a month with Speed Clean Sterilizer Cleaner: (a) Drain reservoir and fill with clean, distilled water then add one ounce of Speed Clean Sterilizer Cleaner to a cool chamber. (b) Run one 30 minute cycle (PACKS) at 121°C (2500F). Instruments must not be sterilized while cleaning the sterilizer. 1
