Safety Information
Safety Precautions
Do not plug the exhaust. Any obstruction in the exhaust may cause the tank to build pressure
and become hotter the normal.
Do not attempt to open the sterilizer lid until the pressure is at “0psi”.
If you attempt to open the lid when pressurized high pressure steam could
cause serious bodily injury. Do not stand close to the lid since steam will
exhaust once opened.
Do not open drain when vessel is pressurized. Since sterilization water is hot just after
sterilization, let the water cool before draining.
The bottle, located in the inside of the front door contains hot water after operation. Let the
water cool prior to removing the bottle. To avoid possible bodily injury, do not open the door
during operation.
The plate, lid and surrounding areas are hot after operation. To avoid bodily injury, do not touch
these areas. Always wear protective gear when removing a processed load.
Once the lid is open and all steam has exhausted remove sterilized material with heat-resistant
gloves to prevent bodily injury.
Hot steam will disperse out of the louvers located in the back of this unit if a malfunction
occurs. Do not close the louvers.
When using the pressure relief switch be sure not to touch the exhaust areas of the sterilizer
since high pressure steam will exhaust.
Do not operate this unit without a basket.
