- Porthole gasket replacement
Always work with the machine off and cold.
Check: Annually or every 1000 cycles.
Operation:
- Open the door of the steriliser
- Manually remove the lip gasket, grabbing the lip with two fingers (pay attention as to
how the gasket lip is assembled).
- Clean the gasket compartment using a cloth dampened with alcohol or a cotton bud.
- Dampen the new gasket with water or alcohol.
- Insert the new gasket in the compartment with the lip turned outwards; distribute the
gasket evenly on the circumference and with your finger evenly press on the entire
perimeter of the gasket.
- When the procedure is complete, check there are no badly inserted points or the gasket is
not protruding. If the gasket is protruding, remove the gasket and insert again.
Correctly position the gasket to avoid leaks. The gasket must be inserted over
the entire circumference without bulges or deformations.
