Maintenance instructions
6
Annual preventive maintenance on your WATER-MIZER
is recommended.
If severe mineral accumulation has occurred,
remove the split nut holding the sensor in place
and remove the thermal sensor from the WATER-
MIZER chamber. Gently clean the sensor with an
abrasive pad.
Do not twist the capillary tube
during removal or cleaning.
Remove the built-in
thermometer from the WATER-MIZER. Using an
abrasive pad clean any accumulated mineral.
Fill the WATER-MIZER with cold water. Reconnect
service unions, and open cold water supply valve
and steam supply valve to the sterilizer to resume
operation.
Do not run the WATER-MIZER dry –
excessive noise may occur.
The temperature of the effluent should be checked
as part of the current planned maintenance proce-
dures for the sterilizer which it is attached to. The
internal thermometer should be checked against a
calibrated external thermometer (or temperature
probe) annually.
