3 Installation and initial start-up
3.1 Setting up the steam sterilizer ________________________________________
The steam sterilizer should be set up in a dry place which is protected against dust.
The base should be stable, and able to support the weight of the steam sterilizer. At the same time, the work
surface must provide convenient access to the steam sterilizer, and the display must be clearly visible.
The load capacity of the installation surface of the steam sterilizer must be at least 39 kg (for hydraulic
pressure test: at least 51 kg). The optional condensate container for waste water loads the installation
surface with a maximum of 14 kg.
The space required by the steam sterilizer can be seen from the external dimensions (as in Section 2.1). A
minimum additional space of 5 cm should be allowed on either side and above the steam sterilizer in order to
ensure that heat can escape. If the additional condensate container shall be connected to the steam sterilizer
you need an adequate space below the steam sterilizer for the container.
For the supply with demineralized water from the integrated water storage tank (Fig. 1 Pos. 26) you need at
least a space of 30 cm or more above the steam sterilizer.
The electrical power supply should be a separate 220-240 V AC circuit with a 16 A fuse and optionally
protected with a 30 mA residual current device.
3.2 Carrying straps _____________________________________________________
Take the steam sterilizer out of the packaging by means of the carrying straps. The blue straps themselves
are each removed by undoing two retaining screws, which must then be screwed firmly back in place without
washers. Therefore you need the TORX-key, delivered with the steam sterilizer.
3.3 Levelling __________________________________________________________
In order to ensure that the steam sterilizer will work reliable, the steam sterilizer should be installed in a
horizontal position (this should be checked with a spirit level on the top of the device) as shown in the pictures
below.

3.4 Mains power supply _________________________________________________
The electric cable of the steam sterilizer is plugged into a mains socket rated at 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz. The
power rating of the MELAtronic 23EN is 1600 W. In order to avoid overloading the electricity supply, we
recommend using a separate electrical circuit fitted with a 16 A fuse and optionally protected with a 30 mA
residual current device.
