Operating instructions

The MCS control (microcomputer) permits digital time and tem-
perature control with a PT 100 sensor and an analogue pres-
sure display. The data of the electrical heating system are either
230 V/2000 W/50 Hz (TKL-MCS 123) or 230 V/1500 W/50 Hz,
depending upon the given model. MCS control eliminates the
need for manual control, and it also means that the autoclave
does not have to be supervised during operation.
Follow the subsequent steps to complete a sterilizing cycle:

WARNING: Preparation for operation:
1. Never sterilize in your autoclave :
packaged solid matter
fluids in closed containers
Closed containers may, in case of a sudden fall of pressure
(e.g. autoclave is opened at a temperature of over 70°C),
lead to a retardation of ebullition and explode.
dangerous fluids (see page 9)
2. Sterilization products that are sensitive to rust must only be
sterilized with alkalised fresh water. For this purpose add
2% of soda to the fresh water. Please note that alkalised
water will attack sterilization products made of aluminium.
3. Distilled water will eventually damage enamel. Conse-
quently, only use tap water.
4. Sterilization results will be inadequate if the water level falls
short or exceeds the minimum and maximum quantities,
and there is an added risk of injury by emitted hot water.
Please refer to the corresponding details in these Operating
Instructions.
5. Pay attention:
that the rubber gasket is correctly seated when the auto-
clave is closed.
Leaks can result in inadequate sterilization.
6. Operation of the device without water can damage the hea-
ting system.
7. Ensure that sterilization products do not get into reaction
with the operating water.
