Solution
18.1 First to determine true rust, use a pencil eraser to remove the brown spot. If there is no pitting then the instrument is just dirty (see sec 7 Preparation before sterilizing and sec 9.9 Cleaning the autoclave). If there is pitting beneath the brown spot then the rusting may be caused by minerals in the water used for rinsing (see sec 7 Preparation before sterilizing). 18.2 Use only distilled water for sterilizing 18.3 Make sure dissimilar metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, etc) have not come into contact with each other. 19.1 Press the STOP key for 2 seconds to abort any program that may still be running 20.1 Clean the air jet (see sec 9.4). 20.2 Check for proper voltage at the wall outlet 21.1 Sterilization temperature set to high. Maximum setting 134ºC (274ºF) 22.1 The autoclave may be overloaded (see sec 7 Preparation for Sterilization) 22.2 Replace the HEPA filter (see sec 9.2) 23.1 check water level in reservoir. 23.2 Check for an obstruction at the bottom of the reservoir blocking the pick up tube 23.3 Clean the water sensor (see sec 9.10) 23.4 Try filling the machine manually using the Manual Inlet key (see sec 3)
