The machine described in this operation and maintenance manual is a steam sterilizer that has been
specially designed to sterilize most of the materials and instruments used in dental surgeries, doctors'
surgeries and hospitals in general.
The machine can either operate at a temperature of 134°C and a pressure of 2.1 Bar or 121°C and a
pressure of 1.1 Bar. These parameters are monitored and kept at constant levels by three mechanical
and electronic devices that ensure an optimal sterilizing process along with total safety.
The operating cycles can be visually checked on a display installed on the control panel of the machine,
or by means of a printer supplied on request.
The machine has been built so that the work cycle will automatically stop and the situation be indicated
by an error message on the display if the operator fails to carry out the loading operations correctly or if
a fault occurs.
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it
has been built.
Comply with the pertinent laws in force in the country of use if the
machine is demolished.
To prevent the autoclave from being subjected to electrical
disturbance, it is important to make sure that the earth resistance
value is sufficient and well coordinated with the protections in your
electrical system.
