Installation
8.1
Placing
Cautions!
The sterilizer is not portable or hand-held equipment; it is a fixed
device so it is forbidden to move it.
The sterilizer must be placed on a rigid and leveled surface.
The
stand must be able to withstand the load of the device and loaded
material.
1.
Counter top
Able to support a minimum of 70 kg (154 lb).
2.
Counter space
Min. 55cmW x 65cmD (22”W x 25”D) * (see unit dimensions).
When changing the autoclave location the door should remain
open for at least 5 minutes in order to set the atmospheric
pressure
8.1.1 Placing the Autoclave
Keep the back and the sides of the autoclave approximately 50 mm
(2”) away from the wall to allow ventilation and to facilitate the device
disconnection.
If placed in a cabinet, verify that the rear of the cabinet is open to allow
ventilation.
Insufficient space for ventilation may result in an increase of the
autoclave's temperature that may damage the instrument.
It is recommended that enough space be left around the autoclave to
give a technician access for servicing the machine.
8.1.2 Connections to Utility Supplies
Plug the power cord into the power supply output as specified in sec.
3.5 (Utilities).
8.2
Lifting and carrying
Caution!
Before moving the autoclave, Make sure that the electric cord is
disconnected from the power, and there is no pressure in the
chamber and in the generator.
To avoid injuries, lifting and carrying should be done with at least two
persons or by using a fork-lift or any other mechanical aid.
Do not drop the device!
