4. ⇒ adjust the whistling valve by its knurled screw to the re-
quired operating temperature (indicated in the cut-out of the
scale disc), e.g. 3 bar.
⇒ then open the pressure control valve by turning it clock-
wise until the stop point is reached. The autoclave must be
vented during the heating up stage.
⇒ the heating system can then be switched on at full capacity.
B: During operation
WARNING: Please observe the "Safety Instructions"
and "Acceptable Risks" (Chapters 1. and 1.2), but
particularly the section "During Operation".
1. The autoclave is adequately vented when a strong jet of
steam is being emitted by the pressure control valve (ap-
prox. 100°C thermometer display). Close the pressure con-
trol valve.
2. The acoustic warning signal of the whistling valve indicates
that the required operating pressure has been reached.
Close the whistling valve by turning it to the right until the
stop point is reached. (Please note: The figures of the scale
disc relate to the outgoing connection of the valve). Only
from this moment onwards does the sterilization time
commence.
WARNING: Autoclaves without MCS control must
be constantly supervised during the sterilization proc-
ess!
The steam pressure control valve may have to be readjusted
to ensure that the operating pressure is not exceeded or un-
dercut (see safety instructions and acceptable risks)!
