2 Installation requirements 2 Installation requirements Installation material The installation set (art. no. ME09027) for the water connection includes: Qty. Article Art. no. Siphon for Cliniclave series (incl. extension pipe) ME72420 Rubber seal 3/4'' for external water supply ME56950 Hose clamp Hanger bolt M8x60 Included in the scope of delivery of the steam sterilizer (and required for installation): Qty.
The steam sterilizer should only be setup, installed and commissioned by persons authorised by MELAG. The steam sterilizer is not suitable for operation in explosive atmospheres. The steam sterilizer is conceived for use outside the patient area. The device should be located a minimum of 1.5 m radius away from the treatment area.
Improper installation may lead to a short-circuit, fire, water damage or electrical shock. This could result in serious injury. Only have the device set up, installed and commissioned by people authorised by MELAG. Implement the following safety measures when dealing with the cable and power plug: Never damage or alter the power plug or cable.

2 Installation requirements Safeguarding in accordance with EN 1717 The connection of the device to the water line is comparable with the connection of a washing machine in a domestic context. In general, the connection of consumers to the drinking water supply should be per- formed in accordance with EN 1717, so that the drinking water supply is protected against contamination through the possible flow back of the water.
NOTICE When performing a device software update, use only the update data authorized by MELAG for the corresponding device type. Operating the device with memory media To prevent data loss, only use memory media to save the log data with the following characteristics: Functional capability (without malware etc.)
Page 14
2 Installation requirements Operating the device in the local network (LAN) NOTICE Do not connect the device to a public network (e.g. the internet). An Ethernet/IP-based network connection (LAN) is required to operate the device in a local network. In its delivery state, the device is configured to obtain the IP address automatically from a DHCP server operat- ed in a LAN.
WARNING Improper installation may lead to a short-circuit, fire, water damage or electrical shock. This could result in serious injury. Only have the device set up, installed and commissioned by people authorised by MELAG. Dispatch / delivery CAUTION Danger of back injury and crushing from lifting excess loads.

Page 21
3 Setup and installation Do not yet remove the sealing cap on the feed water connection of the pressure tank (upper-most T-piece). Open the valve (pos. h) on the pressure tank and measure the primary pressure using the manometer included in the scope of delivery. The target pressure is 0.6 bar.
Page 22
3 Setup and installation Aligning the device To align the device, it must be located in its final installation location. Align the device using a spirit level so that it is plumb on all sides. To this end, place the spirit level on the top of the unit cover (1x fore - 1x rear - 1x right and 1x left).

▪ Advise users to check the pressure on the manometer before switching off the device. In daily operation, the operating pressure should amount to a minimum of 2 bar. If the pressure is < 2 bar, MELAG recommends leaving the device switched on until 2.5 bar is reached. This avoids unnecessary waiting times, warnings and any program aborts.
5 Settings and adjustment 5 Settings and adjustment Setting the door hinge The opening angle of the door in its delivery state is approx. 95°. This can be set to any angle up to 170°. Working with a separate set of instructions “Setting the door hinge” (doc. JA_005-13) set the opening an- gle of both doors to fit the space provision of the practice and the wishes of the operators.
5 Settings and adjustment Inserting the shelf You can insert the shelf (pos. a) at the desired height. You can install the tool bracket (pos. b) in the mounting intended for this purpose. It can be used to store the carrying handles, the special key (hex for the casters) and the Allen key for opening the door in an emergency.
5 Settings and adjustment Guide both lateral display locking elements into the same guide groove on the steam sterilizer. Press the display downwards until you feel it engaging.
