Pan Supports and Baffles 1. Locate the mounting studs on the inside of the chamber. There are two rack mounting studs on each side. 4. After installing one pan support rack correctly, you can install the upper baffle. Position the baffle so that the 45° bend is facing up towards the front of the unit (see “Figure 6”). Slide the mounting tab onto the flat bend on the pan stop bracket. The baffle should now stay in place by itself, but in a tilted state (see “Figure 7”). Mounting Studs Baffle Figure 4 2.
Pan Supports and Baffles 5. Position the second pan support rack into the cavity and slide the other mounting tab onto the rack flat bend while the pan support rack is not on the mounting studs. Hang the pan support by placing the rear key-way slot onto the rear mounting stud and slide the rack until the slot sits on the mounting stud. When this is done correctly the front mounting stud will be in position to place the front key-way slot. Slide the rack down into its correct position. 6.
Optional Stands STERILMATIC OPEN STAND: STERILMATIC OPEN STAND WITH CONDENSER Market Forge Sterilmatic Stand can be supplemented with an Optional Stand for utility use where maximum compactness is desired. Market Forge can provide the open stand with an optional steam condenser system for use where steam exhaustion into the room is undesirable. The sturdy, stainless steel unit is equipped with adjustable leg extensions which allow the unit to be installed and leveled over existing contours in the floor.
Optional Recording Thermometer TO REMOVE THE CHART INSTALLATION FOR OPTIONAL RECORDING THERMOMETER 1. Unscrew and remove the chart ‘hub’ knob (attached to the chain). The optional Recording Thermometer may be surface or panel mounted whichever is preferred. 1. Remove the top cover of the sterilizer. Remove the pipe plug located in the T-fitting that also accommodates the safety relief valve and which is connected directly to the sterilizing chamber. (See figure to the right) 2.
Operating Instructions 7. To assist in drying racks, release door handle after pressure has been attained at start of cycle. Pressure in chamber will keep door closed. The use of a wire basket will provide better drying for dressings. At end of sterilizing cycle, release door handle and open slightly. Do not lift door to open position. This will allow steam and moisture to escape. Allow door to remain in this position for 15 to 20 minutes before removing load.
