Cristofoli vitale 21 - The Autoclave Pressure Gets Too High, Activating the Safety Devices; The Autoclave Takes Too Long to Build Up Pressure or Does Not Keep It, Indicating Cycle Cancelled

22
• The wiring voltage is lower than the one needed for the
autoclave --------------------------------------------------------------------------
• valve -----Pressure/steam leak through the safety or anti-vacuum
• -----------------------Pressure/steam leak through the solenoid valve
• ---------------------------Pressure/steam leak through the door gasket
• Handle not correctly closed causing pressure/steam leak
through the lid --------------------------------------------------------------------
• ---------------------------------------------------------Overloaded chamber
• Have a professional electrician to make the necessary
modifications of your workplace wiring. See “Installation Instructions”
(Page 7);
• Turn the autoclave off and wait for it to cool down, remove the safety
and anti-vacuum valves, clean the valves and their fitting orifices and
put them back into place, replace them, if necessary;
• See “How to Proceed when Service is Needed” (Page 23).
• Perform preventive maintenance (Page 19);
• Replace the door gasket
• The handle may not be properly closed, press it down until it is flush
with the panel. See Figs. 17 and 18 (Page 13);
• Do not put more instruments than specified in each bag /package.
Use up to 75% of the chamber's capacity, that means, 5 envelopes
for Vitale 12 or 13 envelopes when using the support. The model Vitale
21 can hold 12 envelopes or 13 with the support, it can also hold 2
supports simultaneously, allowing the sterilization of 26 envelopes at a
time (envelopes 10 x 23 cm containing 6 instruments each).
Remember to leave some space between the envelopes to allow
good steam circulation and optimize drying. Never overlap
envelopes.
THE AUTOCLAVE TAKES TOO LONG TO BUILD UP PRESSURE OR DOES NOT KEEP IT, INDICATING “CYCLE CANCELLED”
If the problem persists after the verification of all the items listed, contact your local dealer.
POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION
THE AUTOCLAVE PRESSURE GETS TOO HIGH, ACTIVATING THE SAFETY DEVICES
• Partial obstruction of the solenoid valve ------------------------------------
• Defective electronic circuit ----------------------------------------------------
• Obstruction of the hose connected to the external steam exit -------
• See “ (Page 23).How to Proceed when Service is Needed”
• Remove the hose connected to the external steam exit and clear
any obstruction ATTENTION! Never use a plastic hose. See .
“Installation Instructions “, topic “Hydraulic Installation” (Page 8).
