Residual Risks; Safety Signs On The Unit; Personal Protective Equipment (Ppe) - Euronda E9 Next 18L Instruction Manual

During the normal work cycle, the operator is exposed to certain risks that cannot be completely eliminated
due to the nature of the unit.
- Danger of contamination.
In case of unsuccessful sterilisation or a possible fault, the used water and any parts directly or indirectly
in contact with the load may contain contaminating residues.
The responsible authority must teach the operator how to use the unit safely.
- Danger of burns.
1. When the steriliser finishes the sterilization cycle and the door is opened to remove the sterilized
instruments, the inner parts of the boiler and door are still very hot. Do not touch these directly in order
to avoid getting burnt (Fig. 3.4-1). Use the relative extractor tool (chap. 3.3 "Safety devices").
2. When opening the door, do not stand over or in front of it as you may be scalded by the steam (Fig.
3.4-2).
3. In case of blackout during a sterilization cycle, every try to open the door is absolutely forbidden. A
potential residual pressure could cause burns due to steam leak.
NO!
