Sterilmatic - Digital Electric Sterilizer Introduction Intended Use - Sterilization Cycle This unit is intended to be operated intermittently. After a pre-heat cycle, the longest period of sterilization (heating) should be a maximum of 60 minutes. The digital timer allows up to 99 minutes, but it should be kept at no more than 60 minutes.
Clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction should be a minimum of 4” in the back and 2” on the sides. If your Sterilmatic includes a water-cooled exhaust condenser, we recommend the use of the Sterilmatic stand, part number 95-6060. First, level unit in place, then adjust rear legs to pitch the unit forward 1/4” (6mm) to insure positive drainage of the cylinder.

Baffle Installation To insure maximum drying of packs, a baffle is supplied with your Sterilmatic. Place perforated splash baffle in bottom of the sterilizing chamber. Install small baffle with no perforation at the rear of the upper tray support channel.

The open design lends itself to maximum sanitary conditions because of the ease with which periodic cleaning can be done. Though simple in design and appearance, the sterilmatic stand is the ideal arrangement for mounting in that it allows secondary air to circulate.
