  • Page 30 Tubing 1. When placing in a tray, make sure that both ends are open, without sharp bends or twists. Wrong Right Cassettes 1. Instruments may be sterilized in cassettes. The advantage of the cassettes is that the sterilized instruments may remain organized in the cassettes ready for use, while stored in a sterile area.

  • Page 31: Operation

    OPERATION To avoid possible damage, do not leave the autoclave unattended while in operation. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the back of the unit and plugged into a power source. Loading and Unloading the Device • Safety Protective equipment, clothes and other safety instructions should be implemented in accordance with local and national regulations and/or rules!
  • Page 32 5. USE DISTILLED WATER ONLY. Use water-having characteristics as per table in sec 2.17. 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 38: Cleaning The Air Jet

    Cleaning the Air Jet (Located in the water reservoir.) A dirty air jet is the number one cause of failed spore tests The elimination of air from the sterilization chamber during heat up is critical to the proper operation of the autoclave. Failure of the air removal system will be responsible for incomplete sterilization, indicator strips that do not change color and failed spore tests.

  • Page 39: Replacing The Door Gasket

    Replacing the Door Gasket Pull off the gasket from the door groove. Install the new gasket as described in drawings 1, 2 and 3 below. Caution! This gasket is designed with a trapezoidal cross section. The gasket should be placed with the widest side towards the door.

  • Page 40: Checking The Safety Valve

    Checking the Safety Valve (Located in the water reservoir) To prevent the safety valve (6) from becoming blocked, it is necessary to allow the steam pressure to escape through the valve. This procedure should be done every month as follows: Run a sterilization cycle with a sterilization temperature of 273ºF according to the manual.

  • Page 41: Unclogging The Multi-Purpose Valve Or Fill Piping

    Unclogging the Multi-Purpose Valve or Fill Piping. Pour distilled water into the chamber, according to quantities mentioned in para. 4 (Installation Instructions). Close the door. Turn the multi-purpose valve to STERILIZE position. Move the main switch to the ON position. Turn the Thermostat knob to 273ºF (134ºC).
