3.8 Interfacing a printer _____________________________________________________
The Vacuklav
®
31 unit has been provided with a serial printer interface: this interface enables connection of
the MELAprint
®
40 (dot-matrix printer) as an option. The user can then print out reports of the programs
executed.
If the customer purchases the Vacuklav
®
31 with printer or without the printer, and later decides to retrofit by
connecting the MELAprint
®
40, the printer interface on the Vacuklav
®
31 must be enabled before the printer
can be interfaced.
Installation:
The cables contained in the printer package as delivered are for electrical power and data transfer. Plug in
the power cable to the jacks for power [75]. Plug in the cable as interface, at the socket [74] on the rear of
the autoclave, and at the printer in the socket provided.
Make sure that enough paper has been installed in the printer.

3.10 Safety instructions _____________________________________________________
After opening the door of the autoclave, do not touch exposed hot metal parts.
These parts can cause
burns to the bare skin.

service this device.
Do not open the enclosure of the autoclave before unplugging the power plug from its socket.
When installing an external water-treatment unit, it is absolutely necessary to install the overflow system
and to test it by performing a trial run according to the instructions given above, to ensure that it in fact
functions properly.
Empty the water storage tank before moving the autoclave.
Do not move the autoclave when it contains water.
Do not use this autoclave to sterilize liquids.
