5.2 Installation and preliminary inspections
The installer is obliged to make sure that the place in which the sterilizer is installed
is fit for that purpose (CEI 62/4).
The machine is sent packed on a wooden pallet. Make sure that the packing has not been damaged and
that everything is in a perfect condition. Handle the box by means of its handles and place it on a
surface in the immediate vicinity of the place in which the machine is to be positioned (the weight of
the model is given in chap. 2, in the technical specifications).
Remove the machine from its wrapping by pulling it out of the box vertically, using 2 hooks (available
on the market) inserted into the two holes at the sides of the casing. Remove the polystyrene filler balls
from around the machine. Make sure that none of the parts has been damaged and that the machine is
complete with all the accessories indicated in the consignment note. Immediately contact our reseller if
discrepancies are discovered.
Install the autoclave in a well ventilated place, well away from sinks, heat sources, grinders and from
all other machines.
Place the autoclave delicately on to a perfectly flat surface. Take care to leave a space of about 8-10 cm
all around the machine to allow for aeration and make sure that the internal chamber is perfectly
parallel to the ground.
Comply with the following instructions to simply and efficiently check that the machine has been
positioned correctly:
Open the door of the machine using the handle (11).
Remove the tray holders complete with trays.
Pour distilled water into the boiler using a normal glass.
Check how the water settles over the surface of the boiler:
if the water settles in a uniform way all over the depth of the boiler, this means that the machine
has been positioned correctly. If the water accumulates in the front or rear of the boiler, this means
that the machine is tilting towards the front or back.
To correct a tilting machine, place shims under the front feet to level off the water.
Dry off the previously added water and proceed with the installation phase.
Fit the electric plug into a socket
WITH A CAPACITY OF AT LEAST 16 Ampere AND
EQUIPPED WITH AN EARTH CONNECTION
. Make sure that the mains voltage rating
corresponds to the value indicated on the label at the rear of the machine (230 Volts).
STERILIX
must only be filled with
DISTILLED WATER
to ensure that the electrical and air-
operated devices operate efficiently and are long lasting.
Never connect the plug of the machine to a reduction.
Do not install the machine in places at altitudes of more than 900 m.
above sea level.
If this is the case, contact the manufacturer for a special version of the
machine.
Use a bubble level to make sure that the surface on which the appliance is
to be positioned is perfectly horizontal.
Fill out and send off the warranty form.
