Cleaning the mesh filters

4.
Step on the foot pedal to open the lid, let the inside of the reprocessing
basin dry completely (so that no water remains in the basin), and close the
lid. If the device has been stored after closing the lid without drying the
reprocessing basin completely, wipe the inside of the reprocessing basin
with a cloth moistened with 70% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol
completely before the next use.
Clean the two circulation port mesh filters and the drain port mesh filter.
A clogged mesh filter not only prevents the equipment from
functioning properly, but may also result in ineffective
reprocessing.
• If the mesh filters have been removed, be sure to put them
back in their original positions before using the device. If you
forget to attach the mesh filters, the pump may malfunction
and/or foreign matter might get into the pipes or endoscope
nozzles and clog them.
• When cleaning the mesh filters, take care not to leave brush
hair or cotton swab fiber in the mesh. Otherwise, their filtering
effectiveness may be reduced.
• If a mesh filter is dropped or subjected to an impact, make
sure that the mesh shape is not deformed. Otherwise, the
filtering effect may degrade.
• Two mesh filters are installed on the outer and inner sides of
the circulation port. Be sure to remove, inspect, and clean
both of them.
