Checking the Safety Valve
(See "front view").
In order to prevent the safety valve from becoming blocked, it is
necessary to open the valve under pressure. This will allow the steam
to escape clearing the valve (this needs to be done monthly).
There are two safety valves located in the mineral-free water reservoir.
CAUTION:
You can be burned by hot steam.
Do not
place your face or hands
directly over the safety valve
1. Operate the sterilization cycle according to the manual but with no
instruments.
2. Allow a pressure of approximately 300 kPa (29-psig) to build up
in the generator and the chamber.
3. Remove water reservoir cover (1).
4. Pull the ring (4) of each safety valve in turn using a tool, i.e.
screwdriver, hook etc. (3). Pull the safety valve ring for 2 seconds.
Be careful not to burn your hands.
5. Press the STOP key to stop operation, and exhaust steam from
chamber.
6. Wait until pressure decreases to zero, only then can the door be
opened.
