Chapter 7 – Operating pauses
In this chapter you learn
 How quickly you can start sterilization programs in sequence
 What you must observe with longer operating pauses
 How to put the steam sterilizer out of operation, transport it and re-start it
Sterilization frequency
No pause times
required
Pause times between individual programs are not necessary. After the
expiration or termination of drying and removal of the items to be sterilized,
you can immediately re-load the steam sterilizer and start a program.
Pause times
Longer operating pauses
Close the sliding door, but do not lock the door by turning the twist grip by
90°, in order to preserve the
door gasket. Switch the steam sterilizer
off for
longer operating pauses, e.g. overnight or on the weekend. Close, if
available, the water feed
of the water treatment unit and the compressed
air supply.
Shut
-down
If you would like to shut down the steam sterilizer (put it out of operation)
for a longer period of time, for instance because of holidays or a planned
transport, proceed as follows:

Switch the steam sterilizer off at the mains switch.

Pull the power plug from the wall socket.

Empty the feed water and waste water container.

Close, if available, the water feed of the water treatment unit and the
compressed air supply.
Transport
Danger of injury
Observe the following when carrying the steam sterilizer:
■ Use the supplied carrying straps to transport the steam sterilizer and
attach them to the sides e.g. using package tape.
■ Never lift the steam sterilizer on the twist grip. Otherwise the locking
mechanism will be damaged and functionality is not ensured any
more.
■
Observe that the spacing between the underside of the housing floor
plate of the steam sterilizer and the installation surface is small.
