Equipment Alert
Do not use towels or packaging containing chlorine bleach residue. Failure to comply may
cause rusting or discoloration of the chamber / trays, and significantly shorten the life of the
sterilizer.
Trays must be used at all times when operating this sterilizer - unless the optional cassette rack kit is
used - otherwise, serious equipment damage could result.
