3 Installation and initial startup
3.1 Setting up the autoclave__________________________________________________
3.1.1 Transport ribbons____________________________________________________________________
The autoclave must be lifted out of the transport carton by using the transport ribbons. When the unit has
been taken out of the carton, remove the ribbons from the enclosure by unscrewing the two screws for each
ribbon, removing the ribbons, and screwing the screws back into the enclosure.
3.1.2 Leveling the autoclave _______________________________________________________________
The first step to ensure proper functioning of the autoclave is to use a spirit level (carpenter's level) to cor-
rectly align the unit. The spirit level must first be held up flush against the flange of the chamber to ensure
that the entire unit is vertical. Then the front feet of the autoclave [1] must be unscrewed
five (5) turns
in
order that the autoclave slants slightly toward the rear.
3.2 Electrical power_________________________________________________________
The power cable of the autoclave must be plugged into a 230-V socket. The installed load is 2500 W, and
the unit requires a 16-A fuse. To avoid electrical overloads, the autoclave should be connected to its own
separate circuit.
Switch on the autoclave using the power switch [15] under the enclosure of the operating panel [4]. The dis-
play [3] shows the momentary time as well as the pressure and the temperature of the chamber. The signal
lamp for water [33] lights up.
