Monthly

Check Pressure Relief Valve
Manually operate the valve plunger of the pressure relief
valve on the back of the sterilizer (see Figure 32). This is
to be sure the plunger will move should the chamber
become over-pressurized.
To check the plunger:
1. Pull on the ring several tomes to ensure free
movement.
2. If the plunger does not move freely, contact
service personnel to replace the pressure
relief valve.
