Installation
Location
For optimum performance of your sterilizer, the sterilizer
should be installed in conformance to the following parame-
ters:
Surface
For proper operation, the sterilizer must be placed on a level,
heat and water resistant surface. If the surface is not level,
the water in the sterilizer will be unevenly distributed, possibly
resulting in a sterilizer malfunction. Do not adjust position of
the feet on the sterilizer.
Clearances
Allow at least 3" (75mm) between the sterilizer and walls on
the sides and back for air circulation. Also allow at least 8"
(204mm) between the top of the sterilizer and any overhang-
ing cabinet above it. Overhangs should not project more than
8" (204mm) over the rear of the sterilizer.
Surroundings
If the sterilizer will be operated continuously, locate it in an
area where its steam emissions will not damage equipment or
materials.
Unpacking
Remove the sterilizer carefully and inspect it for any shipping
damage. Do not throw away packing materials until you
inspect the unit.
1.
Turn the door handle counterclockwise until it is
completely loose and move the locking mechanism
to the left. Pull on the latch release lever built into
the left side of the sterilizer door and carefully
open the sterilizer door.
2.
Remove all packing materials and accessories
from the chamber.
3.
Remove the trays and rack assembly from the
chamber.
Caution
The surface beneath the sterilizer
could reach 100°F (38°C).
