WARNING
Failure to comply with the set-up conditions can result in injuries and/or damage to the
steam sterilizer.
n The steam sterilizer should only be setup, installed and commissioned by persons
authorized by MELAG.
n The steam sterilizer is not suitable for operation in explosive atmospheres.
n The steam sterilizer is conceived for use outside the patient area. The device should be
located a minimum of 1.5 m radius away from the treatment area.

Steam egress can occur during operation. Do not set up the device in the immediate proximity of a smoke
detector. Maintain clearance from materials which could suffer damage from steam.
Electromagnetic environments
When assessing the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of this device, the emitted interference threshold
values for Class B devices and the stability for operation in an electromagnetic environment as described
in IEC 61326-1 were taken as the basis. The device is thus suitable for operation in all institutions and do-
mestic settings connected to a public mains power supply. The floor should be made of wood or concrete
or be tiled with ceramic tiling. If the floor is fitted with synthetic material, the relative humidity must amount
to a minimum of 30 %.
