Then, if necessary, the water in the cleaning tank 2 is heated by the heater 6 to equalize the temperature detected by the sensor 14 and the temperature detected by the sensor 15. When the respective temperatures detected by the sensors 14 and 15 become equal, this time, the temperature of the leak test air sent from the air pump 13 is measured by the temperature sensor 11, and this temperature is detected. The air is heated by the air heating heater 12 until it becomes equal to the temperature detected by 15. Then, the sensors 14, 15
The water leakage test is started when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 11 become equal.

きる。That is, generally, the cleaning and disinfecting of an endoscope starts with a cleaning process using a cleaning liquid. During this cleaning process, most contaminants such as bacteria attached to the endoscope flow out into the cleaning liquid. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cleaning liquid is not sent to the injection nozzle 23 during the circulation of the cleaning liquid in this cleaning process. Then, after the rinsing step after draining the dirty cleaning liquid, the liquid is caused to flow through the jet nozzle 23 to clean the ceiling surface and the side wall of the cleaning chamber. Further, at this time, since the liquid pressure sent to the jet nozzle 23 is at least 0.5 kgf / cm 2 or more, it is possible to completely wash off the dirt and the cleaning liquid particularly adhering to the ceiling surface.
