Should the need arise, technical assistance or a service technician can be requested by calling your dealer or Tuttnauer USA.

Daily

Clean the door gasket and outside rim of the chamber with a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth or sponge. The gasket should be
clean and smooth. Be sure to clean the inside and outside of the gasket flap. Clean the sensors located in the rear of the chamber (the
right is the water sensor and the left is the temperature sensor) with a mild detergent, water and a soft cloth or sponge. Be sure to

clean the sides of the sensors. (see sec. 12.6).

Weekly

Once per week or after 20 cycles, clean and descale the chamber, copper tubes and the reservoir using Chamber Brite™ powdered
autoclave cleaner. This should ONLY be done when the chamber is COLD. Only use on a COLD chamber. Never use in a Chamber that

is WARM or HOT. Follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual (Sec. 12.1.2):
