Caution
When opening the cover...
Make sure that the pressure of equipment has decreased to 0(zero) MPa before
opening the cover. Generally the cover does not open due to the safety lock
mechanism under the high pressure condition. The high-temperature and pressure
vapor blows out if the cover is forced open under high pressure, which may cause a
burn injury. A large amount of vapor blows out from inside of the chamber when
opening the cover just after the sterilizing operation has completed (when the
temperature inside the chamber is high). Do not put your hands and face close to the
cover.
When draining water...
Make sure that the pressure of equipment has decreased to 0(zero) MPa before draining the
sterilizing water. The hot water blows out if the valve is opened under high pressure. The sterilizing
water remains very hot just after the sterilizing operation has completed even the pressure reading is
0(zero) MPa. Drain the water after it is sufficiently cooled down.
Do not touch the drain bottle during operation
A drain bottle, which contains hot water during and just after operation, is placed inside the door in
the front face of equipment. To avoid a burn injury, remove the bottle after the water is sufficiently
cooled down. Do not open the door during the operation of equipment.
Make sure to drain the water when the water level comes to the seal
position
The hot water or vapor may blow out from the drain bottle if the equipment is operated with too much
drain water (water level above the seal position). (Refer to 15
of “Preparation before operation” in
Page 13 for details.)
Securely fix the silicon plug of the drain bottle
Securely fix the silicon plug when installing the drain bottle. The hot water or vapor may blow out
from the drain bottle if the equipment is operated with the plug loosen. (Refer to 5

for details.)
Do not touch the hot section
Some sections on the equipment such as the circumference of cover or drain bottle are very hot
during or just after the operation of equipment. Do not touch these sections to avoid burn injury.
