Transferring the Load into the Sterilizer 

The load is easily transferred on the two-tier shelf into the sterilizer using the 
following steps: 

1.  Move the carriage containing the tray-filled two-tier shelf to the sterilizer. 

 Note:

 Metal objects must not come into contact with the 

chamber walls, the doors or the electrode. Contact with the 
walls, doors, or electrode could damage the sterilizer or 
instruments. The door should remain closed when not in 
use. 

2.  Verify that the sterilizer status is ready to use and the door is open. 

 

Figure 10. Make sure the carriage is completely 

 seated and locked into the foot mechanism.
