1.1 Incoming Inspection
Upon receiving your Tuttnauer Autoclave carefully inspect the outside
of the shipping carton for signs of damage. If any damage to the carton
is found, note the location with respect to the autoclave and check that
area of the autoclave carefully once it is fully unpacked. Observe

Tuttnauer.
All Tuttnauer products are carefully inspected prior to shipment and all
reasonable precautions are taken in preparing them for shipment to
assure safe arrival at their destination.
Note: Lifting and carrying should always be done by two people.
