Maintenance
For maintenance
For maintenance, turn the breaker and power supply off for safety. If the chamber is hot, wait for
it to cool. Wipe off any dirt on the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner or
cleanser to wipe, nor scrub with a brush.
Daily Maintenance
Cleaning after liquid loads
Biological media tends to boil at a higher rate compared to other liquids. This can cause media
to be splattered inside the chamber. Therefore, the chamber must be cleaned daily with a damp
cloth after temperature has cooled.
Weekly Maintenance
Cleaning the inside of the chamber
Clean the inside of the chamber with a clean damp cloth. Do not pull the filter out, located in the
bottom center when cleaning the inside of the chamber. If cleaned without the filter inside, the
pipe can get clogged with debris.
Filter cleaning
If the filter in the bottom center of the chamber is
clogged, drainage is prevented. Clean the filter in
appropriate intervals, according to frequency of
use.
Pull the filter out, from the bottom drain port. The
filter may be cleaned under the water faucet.
Cleaning the Door Gasket
The door gasket, located under the lid of the sterilizer can be wiped clean with a clean damp
cloth. The gasket should be examined for cracks or damage that can result in a poor pressure
seal. If replacement is needed, contact Yamato Scientific.
Cleaning the Pipe Heater
The pipe heater should be cleaned twice a month.
Accumulation of scale build up results in poor heat transfer and high sheath temperatures.
