Manual cleaning/disinfecting (recommended)

Comply with the manufacturer's specifications of the cleaning fluid and disinfectants when cleaning and
disinfecting the sterilization container. Clean the sterilization container regularly and thoroughly both inside
and out. The cleaning fluid used for this purpose must be pH-neutral (pH value 6-8). MELAG does not
recommend automatic treatment in a washer-disinfector, as this could place the material of the sterilization
container under even greater strain. Under certain circumstances, this could lead to a reduction in its life-
expectancy. We always recommend that you use manual cleaning and disinfection with suitable
resources.
Prior to manual disinfecting, allow water to drip off for a sufficient length of time to prevent dilution of

the disinfecting solution.
After manual cleaning/disinfection, check visible surfaces visually for residues.

Repeat the cleaning/disinfection process if necessary.
