During Operation; Additional Time For Sterilization Of Liquids - Sanoclav KL Operating Instructions Manual

We recommend the use of our sieve tray or sieve basket (ac-
cessories) to achieve uniform heating of the liquid container.
For sterilization of liquids we recommend the use of a media-
sensor for autoclaves with MCS-controller (see chapter 4).
2. The liquid container must be surrounded by an ade-
quateamount of water to guarantee the best possible trans-
mission of heat. (CAUTION: Never fill the pressure chamber
more than ¾ full!).
B: During operation
WARNING: Please observe the "Safety Instructions"
and "Acceptable Risks" (Chapters 1. and 1.2), but
particularly the section "During Operation".
The same steps as those described in Section 2.6.1 B must be
observed during operation and, additionally, the following
points:
CAUTION: To achieve the required sterilization effect, for auto-
claves without media sensor the sterilization time
has to be extended by additional time (see table
6),depending on the liquid volume for each con-
tainer.
table 6: Additional time for sterilization of liquids
Liquid volume of each con-
tainer
0,5 Litre
1 Litre
2 Litres
3 Litres

WARNING: Inspection, maintenance and care:
1. It is imperative that the cleaning, maintenance and
inspection instructions of these Operating Instruc-
tions are observed. Non-observance can result in in-
adequate sterilization and damage both the auto-
clave and the product that is being sterilized.
2. Never change autoclaves in any way, particularly
⇒ the safety valve
⇒ whistling valve
⇒ steam-regulating valve
The valves are works adjusted. Any change of the
settings can result in inadequate sterilization, dam-
age the product that is being sterilized and the auto-
clave, and even cause the vessel to explode.
3. Non-observance of the autoclave checks stipulated
by the manufacturer can result in inadequate sterili-
zation, damage the product that is being sterilized
and the autoclave, and even cause the vessel to ex-
plode.
4. The use of tap water will result in scaling. This will
damage the tubular heaters and increase the power
consumption of strip heaters. Regular descaling is
therefore essential.
5. The autoclave must be stored in an open condi-
tion so that mould cannot form inside the moist
autoclave.
