do not recommend the sterilization of large packs,
such as linens. Be sure condensate bafes are in

STERILIZATION GUIDE:
PACKS (Linens, gloves, etc.): Use wire basket
to facilitate drying. Be sure condensate bafes are
in place. Place packs on edge and arrange load in
chamber, so that only minimal resistant to passage
of steam through the load will exist. NOTE: Place
gloves in upper two-thirds of chamber.
JARS, CANISTERS (etc.): Place containers on
side to allow for displacement of air and complete
contact of steam to surfaces. Drying is also facili-
tated.
PETRI DISHES, PIPETTES, DESICCATORS
(etc.): Should be inverted.
UTENSILS, TREATMENT TRAYS: Placed on
edges to facilitate drying.
