USE DISTILLED WATER ONLY. Use water-having characteristics as per table in sec 5. The impurities in tap water will create the need for more frequent cleaning and maintenance, in addition they will accumulate and block the hole of the Air Jet. This will prevent the temperature in the chamber from rising properly.
- Page 25 7.7. Shut the door, move the Door Closing Devise into position and tighten, making sure that the Door Switch is activated. NOTE: Due to the inherent elasticity of the door gasket, it is important to tighten the door bolt until “hand tight”. Do not over - tighten the bolt as this may result in damage to the gasket.
- Page 26 7.9. Set the Timer to the desired sterilization cycle time according to the Sterilization Time Table. 7.9.1. The Heat Light will come on, indicating that power is being supplied to the Heating Elements and remain on until the correct sterilization pressure is achieved. 7.9.2.
- Page 27 7.11.4. Leave the Multi-purpose valve knob in the Exhaust / Dry position. 7.11.5. Now reset the Timer for drying, 20 – 30 minutes, the Dry Light will come on indicating that Drying is active and the Heating Elements are back on. 7.11.6.
