MAINTENANCE
Recommendations for the dental equipment maintenance
Your Gnatus equipment has been designed and developed according to the standards of modern
techology. Similarly to other kinds of equipment, it requires special care, which is many times neglected
due to several reasons and circunstances.
Therefore, here are some important reminders for your daily routine. Try to follow these simple rules,
which will save you a lot of time and will avoid unnecessary expenses once they start making part of
your working procedure.
Precautions
- Check the voltage before connecting the device to electricity supply (see page 12)
- Install your apparatus on aproper place protected by solar rays and humidity.
- The plastic parts can’t be in contact with most chemical substances used in dentistry treatments,
i.e. acids, mercury, acrylic liquids, amalgams, etc.
- Don’t touch the autoclave’s internal surfaces when it’s in drying mode.
- Before turning your autoclave on, install the fuses included with the equipment.
OPERATION
Resetting the valves (safety
seal and anti-vacuum valve)
If the valve (13) were opened during the
sterilization process, the operator can reset it.
Open the autoclave’s front door and wait until
it’s cold. Proceed as described in the drawing,
pressing them until they go back to their original
position.
If the valves were opened repeatedly, call a
Gnatus authorized technician.
WARNING
HIGH TEMPERATURE. Before carrying
out the procedure described above, wait until
it’s cold.
