As leaders in the field of sterilization, our goal is
to engineer and manufacture safe, efficient,
quality sterilization products. We are certain you

Regardless of how well a piece of equipment is
designed, misuse, abuse, or neglect will deny its
owner the safe, efficient, quality service
expected. Often, misuse, abuse or neglect occurs
unintentionally because the operator is unaware

included in this manual applies to all models
unless noted for specific models.
We urge you to read this manual carefully before
operating the unit, and retain it for future
reference.
