by holding the handle in the open position while pushing the door until it comes
to the closed position, then releasing the handle. The “Door Open” symbol will be replaced with
“

the screen, gently pressing on the door will engage the lock and secure the door.
Start the cycle

START/STOP
key.
At the end of a successful cycle
, the screen shows the “Cycle Ended”
message and the door is automatically unlocked.
Open the door
and use the tray handle or wear heat-resistant gloves to remove the load from the autoclave.
On completion of the cycle, the load should be visually inspected to ascertain that the load is dry, and that sterilization indicators have
made the required color change.
Use only FDA cleared chemical & biological indicators designed for steam sterilization that are compatible with the particular sterilization
cycle temperature and exposure time being monitored. At least once a week use a biological spore test (Bacillus Stearothermophilus)
in any load to insure proper sterilization (be aware testing standards may vary; contact appropriate state/local agencies for specific
sterilization guidelines for your office). Always follow the spore test manufacturer’s instruction.
Be sure to follow all maintenance instructions as outlined in section 12 of the Operator’s Manual.
