2 Installation requirements 2 Installation requirements Installation material The device can be commissioned without installation material. Extra installation material is only required given the connection of a water treatment unit and/or a direct wastewater connection. The following additional material can be ordered as required: Qty.
The steam sterilizer should only be setup, installed and commissioned by persons authorized 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.

2 Installation requirements The space requirements of the steam sterilizer corresponds to its dimensions plus an additional 10 cm to the left and rear and an extra 5 cm to the right. The area above the steam sterilizer should be freely acces- sible in order to enable easy filling of the storage tank and good ventilation.

(e.g. MELAG water stop). PLEASE NOTE The outlet hose must be fitted at a constant decline without kinks or sagging. Deviations to the installation arrangements require consultation with MELAG. Failure to do so can result in malfunctions of the steam sterilizer.
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 started up by people authorized by MELAG. Removing from the packaging CAUTION Danger of injury from incorrect carrying.
3 Setup and installation Aligning the door seal sealing lip Long periods of storage with the door closed can result in the sealing lips of the door seal becoming stuck. Align the sealing lips to prevent leaks. Proceed as follows: Remove the door seal.
3 Setup and installation Aligning the steam sterilizer To enable fault-free operation, the steam sterilizer must be setup level using a spirit level placed on the chamber flange. Then extend the fore device feet by five (Euroklav 23 VS+) or three (Euroklav 29 VS+) revolutions to effect a slight rearwards slope of the steam sterilizer.

3 Setup and installation Example 2 - one-way drain via siphon Direct feed water inflow from the internal storage tank. One-way drain via the surface-mounted siphon. The steam sterilizer is supplied with feed water directly from the internal storage tank via a hose bridge. A float switch integrated in the device notifies the absence of feed water.

3 Setup and installation Example 3 - MELAdem 40 Feed water inflow from the MELAdem 40 ion exchanger. Connection of the MELAdem 40 ion exchanger with MELAjet. The most simple installation is the direct connection of the MELAdem 40 to the steam sterilizer feed water inflow; this generates demineralized wa- ter from normal tap water.
Connection of the MELAdem 47 reverse osmosis unit which can be connected directly to the steam steri- lizer feed water inflow. The connection of a different water treatment unit with the same water quality is possible after consultation with MELAG. The used feed water (wastewater) is discharged into the double chamber siphon via the one-way drain.
