BEFORE COMMENCING OPERATION

Sterilizing of chamber and attachments

Before first start-up of the unit, the chamber and internal attachments should be cleaned and sterilized as
follows.
Note:
Take care not to damage the water level sensor or UV lamp (option) at the time of removal or
replacement of attachments.
Do not clean the inside of the unit with a solution of disodium chlorate or other halogen-based solution
because this may cause corrosion of metal surfaces.
1. Take out all attachment such as trays, humidifying pans, etc, from the chamber. Refer to page 33 and
34.
2. Clean all of the attachments with a diluted neutral dishwashing detergent and then wash out the
detergent with distilled water. (Undiluted detergent can damage the plastic components. For the dilution,
refer to the instruction of the detergent.)
3. Wipe the attachments with a gauze containing alcohol for sterilization and then wipe off with a dry
gauze.
4. Wipe the inside wall of the chamber with a gauze containing alcohol for sterilization and then wipe off
with a dry gauze.
5. Wipe the water level sensor with a gauze containing alcohol for sterilization and then wipe off with a dry
gauze. Care should be taken not to stress the lead wire.
6. Replace all attachments in the chamber.
Note:
Always insert the fan on the motor shaft surely. Improper insertion may cause poor performance.
