GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Carefully read the safety information before using the unit. Non-observance could cause
accidents or damage to the machine.
- Before using the unit, operators must have perfectly understood the meanings and functions of all the
controls.
- Operators must be aware of and know how to apply the safety regulations governing the use of the unit.
- Operators must know and correctly interpret all indications contained in this manual and those applied to
the unit.
- Operators must not perform operations on their own initiative or operations that are not part of their job.
- The responsible authority must instruct and train the operator to use and service the unit safely; in
particular, it must ensure that the information contained in this documents are correctly understood.
Particular attention must be paid to the emergency procedure concerning pathogenic materials released
into the atmosphere. This must be written in a special guide stored near the unit.
- In the event of malfunctions or potentially dangerous situations, operators MUST immediately report the
situation to the responsible authority.
- It is strictly forbidden to use or neutralize the safety devices.
- Make sure the unit is powered at the correct voltage.
- Make sure the unit is earthed and conforms to the standards applicable in the country of installation.
- Never dismantle the unit.
- Do not remove the outer guard before disconnecting the power supply: the unit contains live parts, fans
and heaters that could activate without warning.
- The internal high voltages are dangerous.
- If it is not possible to disconnect the power supply, disconnect the mains supply. If this is distant or not
visible by the person carrying out the maintenance work, turn the switch to "OFF" and secure it with a
padlock or, alternatively, lock the electrical cabinet and keep the key; always make sure the voltage is
effectively absent.
- Keep the area around the unit clean and dry.
- Do not use solvents on plastic parts or labels.
- Do not remove the labels on the unit. If necessary, ask for new ones.
- Clean the unit with a damp cloth after checking that the power cord is not connected (remove any traces
of moisture before using the unit again).
- Do not pour water or any other liquids onto the unit that could cause short circuits or corrosion.
- Do not touch the unit with wet hands or if the unit is wet; always follow the precautions required for the
use of electrical equipment.
- The unit was not designed for use in the presence of gas or explosive vapours.
- Do not expose the unit to excessive mechanical stress such as impacts or strong vibrations.
- Do not lean over or stand in front of the door when opening it as there is a risk of scalding from escaping
steam (see
chap. 3.4 “Residue risks”
).
- The used water in the discharge tank, or the parts in contact with the material to sterilise may contain
contaminated residues; it is therefore advisable to use protective rubber gloves during draining and
handling, in order to prevent the risk of pathogenic contamination (see
chap. 6.7 “Tanks: instructions
for filling and draining"
and
chap. 3.4 "Residual risks"
).
- Before transporting the machine, drain both water tanks. Use the supplied drain tube and follow the
instructions for draining (see chap.
6.7 “Tanks: instructions for filling and draining”
).
- Before being sterilised, all the materials must be treated as required by current law.
-
Do not try to open the door in case of blackout during a sterilization cycle (see 3.4 “Residual Risks”).
