Proper installation, operation and maintenance are the most important things to know in terms of autoclave ownership. Improper installation can lead to the machine
not functioning properly. Improper operation can lead to complications with sterilization. And neglecting maintenance will ensure that your sterilizer will malfunction and cause long term damage.

Device Maintenance
In order to ensure the correct operation of the device, the user is obliged to perform the following maintenance actions.
Cleaning the Tray
Keeping the tray clean helps to ensure proper operation of the appliance. The tray and its technical condition are a good indicator of using the correct water. A stony, brown tray indicates the use of poor quality water. It is recommended to clean the inside of the tray on a weekly basis with a mild detergent that does not add chlorine and does not react with aluminum. After cleaning, the tray requires thorough rinsing with water. In order to clean the tray properly, it should be removed from the front of the device.
Cleaning the Process Chamber
Keeping the chamber clean helps to ensure proper operation of the device. It is recommended to clean the inside of the process chamber once a week with a mild detergent without the addition of chlorine. After cleaning, the chamber should be wiped dry with a soft cloth. Cleaning should be performed on a cold chamber.
Cleaning of External Surfaces
Cleaning the external parts of the device should be done with a soft cloth moistened with water and a mild detergent (no chlorine added and not reacting with plastics, varnish coatings, aluminum). Strong detergents should not be used. The use of mild detergents to maintain the device does not affect the risk of toxic components coming into contact with device components.
Cleaning the Gasket
It is recommended to clean the gasket each time after 100 processes. Use warm, clean water and microfiber to clean the gasket (microfiber with silver particles is allowed). Blunt and sharp cleaning tools are not allowed. Cleaning with chemicals is not allowed. Carry out cleaning on a cooled down device, after opening the drawer. Be careful not to bend the drawer. After cleaning, leave the device open until the gasket is dry. During this time, protect the device against damage.
Replacement of consumables
The sterilizer is equipped with a high performance sterilization system. A message on the screen informs the user when each component should be replaced. If the sterilizer is in regular operation, alternating replacement screens will appear after the welcome screen has been pressed.
Cleaning the Water Container
In order to ensure the correct parameters of the water supplying the device, it is recommended to check the water tank at least quarterly. If contamination is found, the tank should be emptied, cleaned and refilled with new water.
In order to ensure an efficient sterilization process and the correct functioning of the device, it is recommended to replace consumables in a timely manner.
Replacing the Enbio Magic Filter
The filter should be replaced with a new one once every 6 months or sooner when the resin has completely discolored to an amber color. Failure to do so may disrupt the sterilization process and will void the sterilizer warranty. Dispose of the used filter according to local guidelines. The filter and all its parts are not recyclable.
