Safety Information
Warnings
1.
Do not use this equipment for any purpose other than
its intended use, described in this manual.
2.
Use only self-venting, automatic sealing stoppers
when processing liquids or media. Use of other stop-
pers or seals, or lack of stoppers, will create the pos-
sibility of burns or injury from boiling liquids and
exploding flasks.
3.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
4.
Use caution when opening the sterilizer door. Stand
to the side behind the door and open door slowly and
partially to protect yourself from escaping steam or
boiling liquids and exploding flasks.
5.
Sterilizer and trays will be hot after cycle is run.
Always wear protective gloves and apron when
removing a processed load. Protective gloves and
apron should also be worn when reloading sterilizer
following previous operation.
6.
Do not attempt to open sterilizer door until the display
reads "Cycle Complete". Pressure within the cham-
ber could cause the door to open with extreme force,
possibly causing personal injury.
7.
Ensure that the sterilizer is cool before cleaning to
avoid burns.
8.
Pressurized steam will be discharged when the relief
valve is opened. To prevent burns, place a steam
barrier (such as a rolled towel) around the opening in
the back of the unit. To prevent burns, wear gloves or
use an extension device if it becomes necessary to
operate the pull ring.
