autoclave cleaning - how to? (Sep/17/2004 )

Hello everyone!
I need help, does anybody know how to clean an autoclave (presoclave 75). The bottom is very dirty, but I donīt know how to remove the water from it in order to clean all the dirtiness. Iīve bought an special cleaner, but I have the big problem of not knowing how to use the autoclave! sad.gif
Thanks in advance.

At gardening stores, you can buy hand operated siphoning devices, to suck out the water. Look also in automotive parts stores. They're cheap to buy. Check your autoclave doesn't have a sump drain tap as well.

You really ought to obtain an instruction manual, as its vital to keep an autoclave in good working order. The Presoclave 75 appears to be still a current model, so you should try and contact the manufacturer. A google search comes up with a number of hits.
