Daily Cleaning Procedure (at the End of Each Day)
When sterilizing culture mediums that generate sulfide gas or chlorine gas, the inside of the chamber must be cleaned
and rinsed thoroughly without fail.
1. Remove bottom splash baffle.
STERILIZING CHAMBER MUST BE CLEANED AND DRAINED DAILY USING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
WASH WETTED PORTION OF THE CYLINDER THOROUGHLY BY ADDING A MILD DETERGENT TO WATER
IN CYLINDER.
2. If a soft cloth or brush is used with the detergent and does not completely remove the surface film, a nylon soap pad
should be used. After washing thoroughly rinse with clean water. Dry cylinder* and leave door open overnight.
*
The Sterilmatic cylinder is constructed of corrosion resistant Alclad aluminum alloy. The protective properties of this
material afforded to the interior portion of the cylinder which is exposed to water may be destroyed by allowing a film to
form. Such a film can be caused by salts or other contaminants in the water. Corrosion may also occur if water is not
drained daily.
Weekly Cleaning
In addition to the daily cleaning it is necessary to clean the air intakes on a weekly basis. Air intakes provide necessary
cooling air to the internal components. They are generally located on the rear and sides of the equipment.
