All American 1925X - Sterilizer Operating Instructions and Safety; Essential Safety Safeguards

1. Read and understand the instruction
manual before operating unit for the first time.
2. Unit will become hot during use. Do not
touch hot surfaces. Always use caution when
handling unit when it is hot.
3. Closely supervise children if the sterilizer is
used near children.
4. Extreme caution must be used when
moving the sterilizer containing hot liquids.
5. Do not use the sterilizer for other than its
intended use.
6. Whenever possible only use distilled or
deionized water in sterilizer.
7. Always check the pressure release devices
for clogs before using your sterilizer.
8. This and every steam sterilizer operates
under pressure. Improper use may result in
scalding injury. Make certain to read operating
instructions before first use and that the unit
must be properly closed before operating to
prevent possible injury.
9. Before each use make sure that your
gauge reads zero.
10. NEVER loosen wing nuts until the steam
pressure gauge reaches zero and have
allowed remaining pressure to escape by
opening the control valve in the vertical “open”
position.
11. NEVER open the sterilizer until the unit
has cooled and the internal pressure reads
zero on the steam pressure gauge.
12. NEVER use this sterilizer for cooking or
processing food.
13. NEVER run the unit without water.
14. NEVER move your sterilizer while it is
pressurized.
15. Be sure to keep metal-to-metal seal lubri-
cated.
16. Do not subject your sterilizer to sudden
extreme temperature changes, as this may
cause expansion or contraction of the metal
which can damage any aluminum device. Do
not move sterilizer from a cold storage area
directly onto a hot flame or element. Do not
add cold water to a sterilizer which has been
boiled dry and remains hot. Do not cool
sterilizer by pouring cold water into or on the
unit.
17. As in all clinical/laboratory settings, wear
safety glasses when attending to your sterilizer.
