Inspect cabinetry for signs of damage or misaligned parts -
Remove bottom shelf and trays from chamber. Use only deionized or distilled water
to wash the inside of sterilzer, bottom shelf, and trays with damp cloth and if
necessary a mild detergent solution (products are available from your local STERIS
or dealer representative). When cleaning, be careful not to damage the three sensors
located to the left of the heating element
Rinse
chamber thoroughly with deionized or distilled water to remove all detergent residue. Dry
chamber with a lint-free cloth. Verify
that the filter is securely in place and is resting on the bottom of the chamber. Check
door
gasket and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Replace if it has become deformed,

NOTE: Clean chamber after each use if
sterilizing chloride-containing solutions 
WARNING: BURN HAZARD:To
prevent possible personal injury, allow sterilizer to cool for ten minutes before
unloading or cleaning.
CAUTION: To
avoid equipment damage, use deionized or distilled water ONLY for filling reservoir
and cleaning.
CAUTION: Sterilization
of chloride containing solutions can cause chamber corrosion and is not recommended
by the manufacture. However, if chloride containing solutions must be processed,
clean the chamber, filter and water level probe after each use.
Place or hold a container directly in front of the sterilizer below countertop
leve. The sterilizer should be positioned about six inches from the edge of the
countertop (Figure 1). Drain
thye reservoir by opening chamber door and removing water level tube from its
holders, then twist elbow fitting 90 degrees to the left (Fig. 2). With forefinger
covering the end of the tube, lower tueb into the container and drain the reservoir. Reinstall
the water level tube into its holders. Verify
that the water level tube is in an upright position and secure in its holders
(Fig 4). Make sure that water level tueb is not contacting or interfering with
the "Door Latched" sensor lever arm. Check
that the door gasket is not sticking to the end ring. Clean the end ring with
a damp cloth or, if necessary, with a mild detergent solution. Clean
the chamber filter by reverse flushing with water.
CAUTION: Never
use a wire brush, abrasives, steel wool or chloride products to clean door and
chamber.
Door gasket, end ring and gasket groove must be completely clean or leaking may
occur. To clean, thoroughly wipe each item with a damp lint-free cloth. If
gasket cannot be effectively cleaned, remove and discard the old gasket (Fig). Clean
slot and end ring with a damp cloth. Wipe
the new gasket clean with a damp cloth. Then slide the outer edge of gasket into
the door slot a short section at a time without stretching it in the process.
Should the gasket appear too long, DO NOT CUT IT. Start the process again, compressing
short sections int slot untik the enture lenght is inserted (Fig) Check
that the gasket lip is fully inserted into door slot around the entire perimeter
(Fig).
CAUTION: Never
use a wire brush, abrasives, steel wool or chloride products to clean door and
chamber.

CLEANING THE CHAMBER:
Remove bottom shelf from chamber to gain access to the water level probe. Using
a damp cloth, or a non-metallic scrubber, clean the probe by placing the cleaning
device over the probe and rotate in a circular motion. If
no water is present and the probe is dry and clean, Error Code "03"
should clear from the display. If the Error Code remains, contact the dealer service
representative. Place bottom
shelf back into chamber and make sure the front edge of the shelf is inserted
into tab for shelf support (Figure 2-2). Be careful not to dislodge filter when
reinserting the bottom shelf.
