Safety Precautions Operator Manual 129390199
WARNING – SLIPPING HAZARD:
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE HAZARD:
To reduce slippery conditions, keep floors dry by immediately wiping up any spilled liquids or
condensation in sterilizer loading and unloading areas.
Allow thermostatic steam 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. 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.
When installing door gasket on Floorloading Sterilizer, avoid damage to gasket by carefully aligning
gasket corners to gasket-groove corners on door.
Do not manually activate V1 if the chamber is holding pressure.
