Frequency of sterilization
Pause times between individual programs are not necessary. After the end/abort of the drying time and removal of
the }sterile material, you can load the steam sterilizer again and start a new program.
Operating pauses
Depending on the duration of the operating pauses, the following measures must be maintained:
Duration of the operating pause Measure
Short pauses between two sterilization
processes
▪ Keep the door closed to save energy
Pauses which last longer than an hour ▪ Switch off the steam sterilizer
Longer pauses e.g. over night or the
weekend
▪ Switch off the steam sterilizer
▪ Push the door closed but do not lock it (by turning the twist grip 90°) to
protect the door gasket.
▪ If present, shut off the water inflow of the water treatment unit
▪ Shut off the compressed air supply, if available
Longer than two weeks ▪ Switch off the steam sterilizer
▪ If present, shut off the water inflow of the water treatment unit
▪ Shut off the compressed air supply, if available
Upon re-commissioning:
▪ Perform an empty sterilization run in Quick-Program S
After pauses, perform the checks described in chapter Function checks [}page47] depending on the length of pause.
Decommissioning
When decommissioning the steam sterilizer for a long pause (e.g. due to holiday or planned transport), proceed as fol-
lows:
1. Switch off the device at the power switch.
2. Disconnect the power plug from the socket.
3. Empty the feed water and wastewater containers
4. Close the water inflow if you are using a water treatment unit.
5. Shut off the compressed air supply, if available.
6. Disconnect all connection hoses on the rear of the device.
Transport
Comply with the following for safe handling:
n Transport the steam sterilizer with the carrying straps included in the scope of delivery (fix them on to the side of the
steam sterilizer using e.g. package tape).
n Never lift the steam sterilizer on the twist grip. Otherwise the locking mechanism will be damaged and functionality is
not ensured any more.
n Please observe that the distance between the bottom of the housing base plate of the steam sterilizer and the setup
surface is low.
