Pelton Crane Magnaclave Door Gasket
MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: Sometimes when the door is opened, the gasket pulls out of
the chamber groove. Is the gasket defective?
Answer: No, the door gasket is not defective. During normal use of the
autoclave, a small amount of residue builds up on the door itself.
If left unattended it can build up enough to stick to the rubber
door gasket and pull on the gasket as the door opens. By simply
cleaning the stainless steel door with a non-detergent cleaner
and a non-abrasive cloth once a week, the gasket will stay where
it belongs.
Question: Is there a method for cleaning door gaskets?
Answer: Yes and it is very simple. First, remove the gasket from the
machine and wipe it clean with warm water and a non-abrasive
cloth.
Before re-installing the gasket, check its integrity for any
deformities. Use a clean non-abrasive cloth to clean the groove
in the chamber where the gasket fits into. Reinstall the gasket
