Before using/ maintaining the autoclave, the user must note the following:
• Machine MUST be earthed, protective earth connection for the machine is provided using
the 13A plug fitted to the machine.
• Ensure the Water feed, drain and electrical connections to the machine have been fitted to
before attempting to operate the autoclave.
• Water feed should meet the pressure and conductivity specification required for correct
operation of the autoclave.
• Autoclave should be positioned in such a way that allows easy disconnecting of the device
from the electrical supply.
• Autoclave should only be operated and maintained by personnel that have been trained in
its operation and safe use. This manual is NOT intended as a substitute for such training.
• It is the duty of the Responsible Body (individual or group responsible for the safe use and
maintenance of equipment) to ensure that all operators and service/ maintenance
engineers required to use/ maintain this equipment are regularly trained in the safe use and
maintenance of the autoclave. Records of the training are to be kept accordingly. “LTE
Scientific Ltd.” are not responsible for such training.
• On completion of a sterilisation cycle the load inside the chamber will potentially be at a
temperature as high as 80⁰C. Operators must therefore ensure that appropriate precautions
are made to prevent to prevent risk of injury when removing the load from the chamber
(use of heat resistant gloves etc.).
• Do not attempt to autoclave materials that boil below 85⁰C.
• Ensure correct lifting and moving methods of the load are followed as identified by the
Responsible Body/ Lab Manager.
• Do not attempt repair or maintenance of the autoclave with the machine connected to the
electrical power supply, machine should be fully disconnected from the electrical power

• Ensure that the electrical plug is easily identifiable and can easily be reached in order to
disconnect the machine from the electrical supply.
• Do not attempt repair or maintenance of the autoclave immediately after a sterilisation
cycle has completed. The autoclave should be left to cool down to room temperature
before any repair or maintenance task is attempted. Failure to do so could result in injury to
the operator/ maintenance engineer.
