Caution
Use only distilled or low quality
deionized water (minimum 0.5
megohm/cm, maximum 1.5
megohm/cm). Normal tap water
contains minerals that will corrode
sterilizer parts.
Warning
Burn Hazard: Do not add water to
the reservoir while sterilization cycle
is in progress. Steam vented into
reservoir at end of cycle could result
in possible burns.
The water in the reservoir could be
HOT if multiple cycles have been
run in succession.
Reservoir lid must be in place when
sterilizer is in use.
Note
Be sure reservoir drain valve is
closed before filling the reservoir.
