4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Caution:

The sterilizer must be placed on a rigid and leveled surface. The stand must

be able to hold the load of the device and loaded material.

Note:

Make sure, when placing the autoclave, to leave space around the machine,

to give the technician access to service the machine.

4.1 Electrical

The electrical connection should comply with the devices power

requirement. It must also comply with local installation and safety rules

and regulations. The voltage supplied to the device must comply with

the label ± 5%.

In order to avoid any injury by electrical hazard, it is mandatory for the

customer to have installed an earth leakage relay (GFI outlet or circuit

breaker) in the electrical circuit to which the autoclave is connected.

This relay disconnects all the poles of the electrical power line in case

of accidental contact by the power line, with the autoclave’s metal

enclosure.

Note: Keep the back and the right side of the autoclave approximately 1”

(25mm) away from the wall to allow for ventilation.

Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear side of the autoclave;

plug it into the supply outlet.

4.2 Setup

Proper adjustment of the chamber pitch is one of the most important

things you can do for the sterilizer. Proper chamber pitch insures that

among other things, the sterilizer will have the proper amount of water

in the chamber at the beginning of each cycle. Insufficient water in the

chamber, at the beginning of the cycle, will cause the unit to overheat

and activate one of the safety thermostats. This will occur at some

point during the cycle when the water level becomes too low. If, on the

other hand, there is too much water in the chamber, this will extend the

heating portion of the cycle. Extending the heat up time will shorten

the sterilization time, causing items to not be sterilized, indicator strips

to not change color and spore tests to fail.

For proper setup please follow these setup steps (see drawing below):

♦ The autoclave should be turned off and unplugged.

♦ Make sure the counter is level and sturdy (3).

♦ Make sure all the feet are on the autoclave and none have been lost.

♦ Make sure the feet are free to move in and out (2).

♦ Position the autoclave on the counter.

♦ Fill the reservoir with distilled water (see sec 7.2).

♦ The chamber should be empty of any instruments, trays or leftover

water.
