Safety Precautions Operator Manual P129390-106
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
Allow thermostatic traps to cool down to room temperature before removing cover. Since there is nothing
to limit expansion, the bellows may rupture or fatigue if trap is opened while hot.
Actuation of safety relief valves at less than 75% of rated pressure can allow debris to contaminate the
seat and cause the safety valve to leak. A leaking safety valve must be replaced.
Never use a wire brush, abrasives, or steel wool on door and chamber assembly. Do not use cleaners
containing chloride on stainless-steel surfaces. Chloride-based cleaners will deteriorate stainless steel,
eventually leading to failure of the vessel.
Lifting the chamber float switch when cleaning the chamber may cause the sterilizer control to initiate a
“Chamber Flooded” alarm. If this alarm condition occurs, the operator must reset the control system (Turn
Off then On with keyswitch) to clear the alarm. The keyswitch is on the front panel and must be left in the
Off position until the display goes blank (approximately 10 minutes). Placing the sterilizer in standby does
not clear this alarm.
Sterilization of chloride-containing solutions (e.g., saline) can cause chamber corrosion and is not
recommended by the manufacturer. If, however, chloride-containing solutions must be processed, clean
the chamber after each use.
