mation about recommended materials; it lists items that can be
sterilized in the STERRAD 100S Sterilizer and gives important

new power source, electrical phase rotation should be checked by a
qualified technician. Failure to verify and match phase rotation may
cause damage to the sterilizer and voids the warranty.

Do not leave the sterilizer unplugged or turned off for longer than 24
hours. If you plan to disconnect the sterilizer for any lengthy of time,
call the ASP Customer Care Center for instructions.
