autoclave!;
It is normal that some steam comes out through the door when it is opened at the end of the depressurization for
the drying stage;
Never touch the external steam exit (Fig. 1, page 8) and/or the internal surfaces of the autoclave (chamber, trays,
materials, etc.) during or right after operation, they will be very hot. Even after waiting for the materials to cool down,
it is recommended to use proper gloves to handle the sterilized materials. Improper use may cause burns,
Cristófoli is not responsible for incorrect procedures that may cause accidents;
In case of activation of one of the safety devices (sudden steam escape), generally caused by obstruction of the
steam exit internal orifice or by an obstruction of the solenoid valve, wait for the complete depressurization before
opening the door;
IMPORTANT! Always make sure you unplug the autoclave before performing any kind of maintenance like changing
the fuse or even the everyday cleaning;
We recommend reading this manual until it is fully understood. Keep it at hand and use it as a constant reference
