WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS CORROSIVE
Concentrated hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to skin, eyes, nose, throat,
lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. Always wear chemical resistant latex,
PVC (vinyl), or nitrile gloves when removing items from the sterilizer
following a cancelled cycle or if any moisture is noted on items in the load
following a completed cycle.

WARNING! HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS AN OXIDIZER
Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and poses a hazard for fire,
explosion, or container rupture. Avoid allowing hydrogen peroxide to contact
organic materials, including paper, cotton, wood, or lubricants. Do not use or
store near heat or open flame. Shoes, clothing, or other combustible material
that have come into contact with hydrogen peroxide must be immediately
and thoroughly rinsed with water to avoid a potential fire hazard. In case of
fire, use only water to extinguish.
