1. GENERAL
Read the Operating Instructions carefully, before beginning any
operation on the autoclave!
1.1. Incoming Inspection
Upon receiving your Tuttnauer Autoclave, carefully inspect the outside of the
shipping carton for signs of damage. If any damage to the carton is found,
note the location with respect to the autoclave and check that area of the
autoclave carefully once it is fully unpacked. Observe packing method and
retain packing materials until the unit has been inspected. Mechanical
inspection involves checking for signs of physical damage such as: scratched
panel surfaces, broken knobs, etc.
If any damage is found, contact your dealer as soon as possible so that
they can file a claim with the shipping carrier and also notify Tuttnauer.
All Tuttnauer products are carefully inspected prior to shipment and all
reasonable precautions are taken in preparing them for shipment to assure
safe arrival at their destination.
Caution!
Lifting and carrying should always be done by two people.
