: 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
programs" on page 81).
Wrap items with porous wrapping materials to facilitate steam
penetration and drying (e.g. sterilization bags for autoclaves).
WARNING! Always use the chamber rack. Failing to use the
chamber rack can damage the unit and could affect
adequate steam circulation.
