Expert Review
If your steriliser cabinet is starting to smell a bit musty or just isn't keeping things as fresh as it used to, this lower carbon filter is almost certainly the culprit. It’s a very common wear-and-tear item. Thankfully, it's a doddle to replace – just slide the old one out and pop this new one in. A two-minute job that makes a massive difference.
Installation & Maintenance
- Always disconnect the unit from the mains before access.
- No special tools are needed for this filter replacement.
- Check filters every few months as part of your routine.
- Handle the new filter by its frame to avoid contamination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I replace this carbon filter?
A: For optimal performance in a commercial setting, we recommend checking monthly and replacing every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
Q: Is this the only filter in the FS130 cabinet?
A: No, the FS130 model uses both an upper and a lower filter. This part, AK984, is for the lower position.
Q: Can I clean and reuse my old filter?
A: No, activated carbon filters are designed to be replaced. Once saturated with odours and particles, they lose their effectiveness and cannot be cleaned.
Did You Know?
- A fresh carbon filter is essential for maintaining the highest standards of hygiene for your sterilised utensils.
- Clogged filters can cause the unit's fan to work harder, potentially reducing its lifespan.
- Carbon filters work through a process called adsorption, where odour molecules stick to the carbon's surface.
