release pressure at 28 PSI. This valve is
equipped with a deflector cap that will direct
any steam released in a downward direction.
6. OVERPRESSURE PLUG, PART NO. 1010
(See Fig. 7). Your sterilizer is also equipped
with an
overpressure
plug which
acts as an
additional
safety device.
The plug is
designed to
automatically
release
pressure
should
pressure
reach greater
than 30 PSI. The plug is made from silicone
and is found on the cover located directly in
front of the Excess Pressure Relief Valve. For
best performance of the plug and safe
operating of your sterilizer, we recommend that
you replace your plug every six months. The
overpressure plug and opening should be
checked at least once per month. The
overpressure plug may be removed using your
fingers (NEVER REMOVE THE PLUG WHEN
THE STERILIZER IS HOT). Once the plug is
removed it is important to clean the opening in
the cover where the plug goes to keep it clear
of any foreign matter, residue or grease buildup
that may occur. Next clean the opening with
hot soapy water. After, inspect your plug and
make certain that it is in good condition free of
cracks, or becomes too hard or deformed.
After cleaning reinsert the overpressure plug by
pushing the round top side into the opening
from the underside of the cover (See Fig. 7).
