INTRODUCTION This manual, together with the operator’s manual, forms the complete edition of the Operation and Maintenance instructions. This manual is intended for the use of the technician. It is forbidden for unqualified and unauthorized personnel to service the autoclave in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The autoclave has unique characteristics. Please read and understand the operation instructions before first operation of the autoclave. The following issues may require instructions guidance provided by the manufacturer: how to operate the autoclave, the door safety mechanism, the dangers involved in circumventing safety means, how to ensure that the door is closed, and how to select a correct sterilization program.
WATER QUALITY Water for Generating Steam The distilled or mineral – free water supplied to the sterlizer shall be according to the table below: Physical Characteristics and Maximum acceptable contaminants levels in steam for sterlizers (According to EN 13060:2004). Element Condensate –...

MAINTAINING AND REPLACING PARTS Safety Tests after Repair ATTENTION! After every repair or dismantling the enclosure, the autoclave should pass two safety electrical test by the Service Engineer. The following shall be performed: Warning! When re-installing the enclosure, connect the earthing to the cover. On installing the rear cover, connect the earthing before accomplishing the installation of the rear cover.
Dismantling the Outer Cover of the Autoclave. Caution: Allow the instrument to cool before removing the outer covers. Warning: Before starting disconnect the instrument from the power source and make sure there is no pressure in the autoclave. Then proceed as follows: 1.
Cleaning and Replacing Air Trap Jet (Located in the water reservoir) The elimination of air pockets from the sterilization chamber during heating and sterilization phases is achieved by means of the air trap jet. This device consists of a small orifice that is obtrusive and opened by a small wire moving forth and back.
Replacing the Safety Valve Caution Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that there is no pressure in the autoclave. Note: These instructions are valid for both, CE-marked and ASME type safety valves. 1. Remove the water reservoir cover. 2.
Replacing the circuit breaker Caution! Before starting, disconnect the instrument from the power source. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 6.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2. Disconnect the wires from the circuit breaker. 3. Remove the four screws connecting the circuit breaker to the panel (1). 4.
Temperature Safety Thermostat (Located on the rear side of the heaters) The autoclave is supplied with a temperature thermostat that maintains the temperature during the dry stage, by connecting and disconnecting the electric power. This device automatically disconnects the heating elements in case of a rise in temperature.
Cut-Off Thermostat This thermostat cuts out power to the autoclave, in the event that all other safety systems do not function. For example: if the operator forgets to fill the chamber with water, and starts the sterilization cycle, the chamber will heat up and activate the cut-out thermostat. In order to restart the operation, press the RESET button.
Replacing Heating Elements Caution: Before starting, ensure that the electric cord is disconnected from the power source and there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Dismantle the autoclave cover (see para. 6.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2.
6.10 Replacing Multi-Purpose Valve Caution: Before starting, make sure that the electric cord is disconnected from the power source and there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Dismantle the autoclave cover (see para. 6.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”). 2.

6.11 Unclogging the multi-Purpose Valve or Chamber VERY IMPORTANT! When sterilizing cotton wool or pads, it is essential to wrap them in paper or cotton bags in order to prevent the multi-purpose valve and the autoclave openings from becoming clogged with remnants of the material.
6.13 Replacing the Door Bellows (Located in the Door Bridge) Caution: Before starting, be sure that there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Open the door. 2. Unscrew and remove the tightening screw (5). 3. Gently pull out the door safety device locking pin (13). 4.
6.14 Replacing the thermostat B10 Caution: Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected from the power source and that there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 6.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”).
6.15 Replacement of the Door Cover Caution: Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected from the power source and that there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Unscrew the four screws attaching the door cover and remove the door cover.

6.16 Replacing the Locking Device Caution: Before starting, verify that there is no pressure in the autoclave chamber. 1. Remove the security ring (9) using a special tool. 2. Remove pin (6). 3. Remove locking device. Take care not to lose the Teflon disk (10). 4.
6.17 Replacing the Door Switch (models 2540, 3150, 3850, 3870) Caution! Before starting, disconnect the instrument from the power source and ensure that there is no pressure in the autoclave. Allow the autoclave to cool before removing outer covers. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 6.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”).
6.18 Replacing the Drain Valve Caution! Before starting, disconnect the instrument from the power source and ensure that there is no pressure in the autoclave. Allow the autoclave to cool before removing outer covers. 1. Remove the autoclave cover (see para. 6.2 “Dismantling the Outer Covers of the Autoclave”).
