Page 39
Monthly or 50-cycle maintenance Cleaning the door seal and the chamber face side Clean the door seal and the outer edge of the chamber with a non-abrasive cloth moistened with water. If you use a detergent solution, be careful not to get in contact with the plastic body of the front cover.
Page 40
Monthly or 50-cycle maintenance Cleaning the chamber filter Empty the sterilizer chamber by removing the trays and the rack. 1–2: Remove the filter cap at the back of the chamber (bottom/center) by turning it counter-clockwise. 3: Remove the cartridge filter and rinse it with tap water. 4–5–6: Insert the filter in the cap, attach the filter cap and lock it by turning clockwise.
Page 41
3 month or 400-cycle maintenance Replacing the bacteriological filter Open the service door. Unscrew the bacteriological filter by hand (counter-clockwise). Screw on the new bacteriological filter (clockwise) and tighten it snug. Remember to reset the counter after replacement (see following pages). Replacing the dust filter Pull out the dust filter from underneath the sterilizer.
Page 42
6 month or 800-cycle maintenance Cleaning the water tanks Switch OFF the sterilizer and disconnect the mains cable. Completely drain both tanks. Leave the drain tube attached to one of the drain quick connectors. Turn the 5 screws of the tank cover a ¼ with the use of a screwdriver (a coin works as well) and lift the cover to gain access to the tanks.
Page 43
1 year or 800-cycle maintenance Replacing the door seal Fully open the chamber door. Pull out the used door seal by hand (easy if seal and fingers are dry). Carefully clean the seal seat and the chamber face side with a cotton swab. Moisten the new seal with water.
Page 44
4000 cycle/5 years general check and service Regular service is imperative to ensure continuous and effective operation of the sterilizer. It is recommended to carry out a general service every 4000 cycles or five years by an authorized service technician. The service includes replacement of consumables and other important internal components, a check of the entire unit with special care for the safety systems, and cleaning of areas and components that cannot be accessed by the user.
Page 45
Resetting the maintenance counters Use the UP, DOWN and OK buttons to browse the menu, choosing the following options in sequence: MENU – DEVICE INFO – SERVICE COUNTERS. Scroll to the concerned consumable by pressing UP or DOWN. The consumable status (number of cycles executed and maximum lifespan of the consumable) is displayed in the third and fourth line of the display.
8. Troubleshooting, alarms and messages If the cursor appears to the left of one or more icons, there is related information pending. All messages can be viewed by means of the MESSAGES sub-menu.

Page 51
Resetting the thermal overload A safety thermostat is fitted on the sterilizer to prevent overheating of the electric heater. If the safety thermostat operates because of too high temperatures, the alarm E240 or a timeout alarm is generated. If this happens, proceed as follows: - Switch the sterilizer OFF and remove the mains cable.
Page 52
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS The main switch or network circuit breaker is OFF Activate the main switch or network circuit breaker (ON). The sterilizer remains switched No voltage at the socket Check the electric circuit. OFF. The mains cable is not properly connected Attach the cord set properly.

ANNEX 2. Maintenance of dental handpieces External disinfection This procedure reduces the risk of infection during cleaning and maintenance of the instrument. Wear protective gloves during disinfection. Refer to the instructions of the instrument manufacturer. Avoid using abrasive disinfectants (pH-value 2.5 – 9; no chlorine based disinfectants). We recommend the use of disinfectant wipes rather than spray disinfection.
ANNEX 3. Sterilization load preparation Cleaning the instruments Clean all instruments thoroughly prior to sterilization. If possible, clean instruments immediately after use; always follow the instrument manufacturer ‘s instructions. Remove all traces of disinfectants and detergents. Rinse and dry carefully all instruments. Lubricate dental handpieces after cleaning and prior to sterilization in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Page 58
Loading the chamber Tubes Rinse, drain and dry tubes after washing. Place tubes on a tray allowing the ends to remain open. Do not bend tubes. Partial loads If the chamber is just partially loaded, place the load in such a way that the space in-between the trays is maximized (see example with three trays on the left).
ANNEX 4. Bowie and Dick test Description The Bowie & Dick (B&D) test device is used to validate the sterilizer performance for textile load sterilization. It is made of several sheets of paper wrapped in a small packet in the middle of which there is a chemical heat-sensitive indicator sheet. How to carry out the test The test must be performed in an empty chamber (EN13060) without load but with the standard chamber accessories (chamber rack and trays) mounted.
ANNEX 5. Helix test Description The Helix test device is used to validate the sterilizer performance for hollow items. It consists of a 1,500 mm long tube that is open on one side and closed with a capsule on the other side. A chemical indicator strip is placed inside of the capsule. How to carry out the test The test must be performed in an empty chamber (EN13060) without load but with the standard chamber accessories (chamber rack and trays) mounted.
ANNEX 6. Vacuum test Description The vacuum test is designed to validate the sterilizer performance in terms of: • Efficiency of the vacuum pump; • Tightness of the pneumatic circuit. It consists of a vacuum phase, followed by a stabilization period of 5 minutes and a testing period of 10 minutes. During the 10-minute testing period the internal pressure is monitored.
ANNEX 7. Water quality LINA sterilizers use distilled or demineralized water to generate steam for the sterilization process. The table below lists the maximum content of minerals and the specifications for the water used for steam sterilization (see EN13060 ANNEX C).
