container, the cable is connected on the rear side of the steam sterilizer
(
If the connection for feed and waste water enquiry were mixed up by
mistake, the information on the display for container filling and/or emptying
will be incorrectly displayed.
-water hose must be laid dip-free with continuous descent.
■ It is absolutely necessary to insert both hoses to the end into the
couplings.
In case of non-observance there is danger of burns, as hot steam
may escape on the rear side and/or air may enter the lines when
sucking feed water and impact the functionality of the steam
sterilizer.
After the connection fill in tap water (approx. 10 cm high) into the waste
water container in order to cool the condensate coil and add commercially
available
instrument disinfectant to prevent germ formation in the waste
Use half of the amount recommended by the
manufacturer in order to preserve the material of the condensate coil.
This is required during initial commissioning and after every emptying of
the waste water container.

All MELAG water treatment units comply with the following requirements:
The water pressure at the output of the water treatment unit amounts
to min. 0.5 and max. 10 bar.
The temperature of the feed water reaches max. 40 °C.
At 0.5 bar, the flow rate reaches min. 0.8 l/min for a short time and
then an average of 0.025 l/min (= 1.5 l/h).
Connection to a water
treatment unit
If the steam sterilizer should receive feed water fully automatically from a
water treatment unit, the
steam sterilizer is connected using a
PTFE hose
with exterior diameter Ø 6 mm to
the water treatment unit. It is also
in parallel to a different unit, using
a T
-piece, to an already existing water treatment unit of sufficient
