WARNING – SLIPPING
HAZARD: To reduce slippery
conditions, keep floors dry by
immediately wiping up any
spilled liquids or
condensation in sterilizer
loading and unloading areas.
WARNING – BURN HAZARD:
Allow sterilizer and
accessories to cool to room
temperature before
performing any cleaning or
maintenance procedures.
WARNING – PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE HAZARD: Personnel
must properly shutdown the
sterilizer and retain the power
key at all times while cleaning
the sterilizer chamber.
CAUTION – POSSIBLE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
HAZARD:
• 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). Placing
the sterilizer in standby does
not clear this alarm.
• 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.
