Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the Chamber Regularly: After each use, wipe down the interior of the autoclave chamber with a soft, clean cloth. This helps prevent residue buildup from sterilized materials.
-
Descale the Chamber: In areas with hard water, mineral deposits may accumulate inside the chamber. Use a descaling solution recommended by the manufacturer to remove these deposits and maintain optimal performance.
-
Check the Door Seal: Inspect the door gasket regularly for signs of wear or damage. A worn gasket can cause leaks and prevent the autoclave from reaching proper pressure and temperature. Replace it if necessary.
-
Test the Safety Valve: Periodically check the safety valve to ensure it is functioning properly. If it becomes blocked or malfunctioning, replace it immediately to ensure safe operation.
-
Maintain the Water Tank: Drain the water reservoir after each use and clean it thoroughly. This helps prevent any bacterial growth or contamination within the system.
-
Replace Filters Regularly: If your unit has filters, replace them as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure effective air and water filtration.
-
Sterilization Cycle Monitoring: Always ensure that the sterilization cycle is complete before opening the door. Interrupting the cycle may affect the sterilization results and compromise your load.
-
Inspect the Heating Elements: Ensure that the heating elements are free of any damage or corrosion. If you notice any malfunction, contact a professional technician for repairs.
-
Annual Professional Service: Schedule annual servicing by a qualified technician to check the autoclave’s overall functionality, calibrate pressure and temperature settings, and ensure all components are in good working order.
