4. MAINTENANCE

General information

Regular maintenance will ensure the safe and efficient operation of your STATCLAVE G4. Before conducting
any of the cleaning and maintenance procedures described in this chapter, power OFF the unit and
disconnect it from its power source.
WARNING: HOT SURFACES. The STATCLAVE G4 chamber's stand-by mode maintains an optimal
operating temperature during working hours. Unless this feature is disabled, the chamber will remain hot
between cycles throughout the work day. Take care to ensure the STATCLAVE G4 is properly cooled before
accessing the chamber to perform any maintenance.
DO always use SciCan replacement parts.
DON'T use abrasive cloths, metal brushes or metal-cleaning products, whether solids or liquids, to clean the
device or sterilization chamber.
