≤ 3 µs/cm
pH value 5 to 7.5 5 to 7
Hardness

Appearance Colorless, clean, without sediments
Note: The condensate is produced from steam taken from the empty
sterilizer chamber.
Compliance with the above data should be tested in accordance with
acknowledged analytical methods, by an authorized laboratory.
Attention:
The use of water for autoclaves that do not comply with the table
above may have severe impact on the working life of the sterilizer
and can inval
idate the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Use only deionized water, having a maximum conductivity of 15
µs/cm. Conductivity greater than 15 µs/cm may cause failures.
Tap water supply
The range of hardness value 0.7-2.0 mmol/l (70- 200 mg/l CaCO

)
The use of soft water is strictly forbidden!
Please consult a water specialist!
3.7.1 Drain Cooling
The feed water supplied to the drain cooling must meet the following
requirements:
•
Hardness: 0.7 - 0.2 mmol/l.
•
Water temperature shall not exceed 15°C (59°F).
