Fundamental Matters of "WARNING!" and "CAUTION!"
CAUTION!
When opening the cover...
Make sure that the pressure of equipment has decreased to 0(zero) MPa before
opening the cover. Generally the cover does not open due to the safety lock mechanism
under the high pressure condition. The high-temperature and pressure vapor blows out
if the cover is forced open under high pressure, which may cause a burn injury. A large
amount of vapor blows out from inside of the chamber when opening the cover just after
the sterilizing operation has completed (when the temperature inside the chamber is
high). Do not put your hands and face close to the cover.
When draining water...
Make sure that the pressure of equipment has decreased to 0(zero) MPa before draining the sterilizing
water. The hot water blows out if the valve is opened under high pressure. The sterilizing water remains
very hot just after the sterilizing operation has completed even the pressure reading is 0(zero) MPa.
Drain the water after it is sufficiently cooled down.
Do not touch the hot section
Some sections on the equipment such as the circumference of cover or drain bottle are very hot during
or just after the operation of equipment. Do not touch these sections to avoid burn injury.
When taking the sterile samples from the chamber...
Sufficiently remove the vapor inside the chamber before taking the sterile samples from the chamber.
Wear heat-resistant leather gloves to take them from the chamber to protect your hands from
high-temperature samples.
Do not touch the heat releasing outlet
Do not directly touch the heat releasing outlet located around the outer covering. The vapor may blow
out from the safety valve by an accident during sterilizing operation. Do not block the outlet.
During a thunder storm
During a thunderstorm, turn off the power key immediately, then turn off the circuit breaker and the main
power. If this procedure is not followed, fire or electrical shock may be caused.
