WARNINGS
WARNING! Any residual of chemicals (like cleaning and
disinfection products), could affect the purity of the
steam and consequently the whole sterilization process.
If necessary, the load shall be cleaned and lubricated in
accordance with the instrument manufacturer’s
instructions.
Notice : Any residual of chemicals could seriously damage the
sterilizer. The manufacturer’s warranty is void in case of damage
caused by chemicals.
CLEANING THE INSTRUMENTS
Clean all instruments thoroughly prior to sterilization. If possible,
clean instruments immediately after use; always follow the
instrument manufacturer ‘s instructions. Remove all traces of
disinfectants and detergents. Rinse and dry carefully all
instruments.
The instruments and tubes must be carefully rinsed and dried prior
to sterilization.
CORRECT LOAD PLACEMENT
WARNING! Do not overload trays and the chamber. Adhere
to the maximum load weight limits (see "Sterilization
cycles" on page 97).
Never place the load or the trays directly into the chamber
without the chamber rack as this could affect the steam
and temperature distribution. The load must always be
supported by the chamber rack.
Risk of burns. Before touching, ensure the sterilization
chamber is cold.
Wrap items with porous wrapping materials to facilitate steam
penetration and drying (e.g. sterilization bags for autoclaves).
Always use the chamber rack to allow adequate steam circulation.
