USING THE STERILIZER - 5
5.10 Topping up with demineralized water and draining contaminated water
The sterilizer is fitted with two 4-litre tanks: the main demineralized water tank and the contaminated water recovery tank.
The hydraulic circuit does not allow the reuse of the steam produced during the sterilization cycle, which is collected in the
recovery tank and must be periodically drained.
The normal operating cycle therefore involves gradual emptying of the demineralized water tank and filling of the recovery
tank.
5.10.1 Topping up the demineralized water tank
The average water consumption for each sterilization cycle is 520 cc, which means
that a full tank allows about 7 cycles.
When the red H2O MIN LED lights up (see the “Operator panel description”
paragraph) this indicates an insufficient water level in the loading tank.
Top up with demineralized water until the H2O MAX LED lights up (accompanied
by a 7-beep acoustic signal). However, do not fill beyond the closing grid in the top
input opening.
WARNING
When removing the cap, avoid coming into contact with hot parts inside the demineralized
water tank.
5.10.2 Draining the contaminated water recovery tank
The red H2O MAX LED (see the “Operator panel description” paragraph) indicates excess water in the contaminated water
recovery tank.
Drain the tank as follows:
1. Prepare a container of at least 4 litres in capacity;
2. Insert the drain hose into the left-hand quick coupling (waste water);
3. Allow the tank to drain completely;
4. Remove the drain hose by pushing the coupling ring towards the machine and
pulling the hose.
WARNING
The water in the dirty water tank should be considered
as biologically contaminated, therefore appropriate
precautions should be taken if the tank is emptied.
Waste water must be disposed of in accordance with
local or national regulations.
NOTE
The demineralized water tank can also be drained in the same
way, if necessary, by connecting the hose to the right-hand
quick coupling (fresh water).
