Maintenance and cleaning
The autoclave should be inspected annually according to "Good Laboratory Practice".
Daily cleaning of the autoclave will prevent most future faults.
Clean the autoclave with a mild detergent using a wet soft cloth. Replace the vessel water daily with new, fresh
water. Long-term use of dirty water can cause premature failure of the heating element.
WARNING
Do not use any cleaning product containing halogens or other aggressive substances to clean the
autoclave as this can cause rust.
