Setup and installation
PLEASE NOTE
Comply with the specifications of the technical manual during setup and installation.
This contains all building-side requirements.
Record of installation and setup
The record of installation and setup is to be completed by the responsible stockist and a copy sent to
MELAG as proof of the correct setup, installation and initial commissioning. This is a constituent part of
any guarantee claim.
Feed water supply
Steam sterilization requires the use of distilled or demineralized water, known as feed water. Annex C of
EN13060 specifies the guideline values to be observed.
The steam sterilizer requires c. 3 l feed water for the first filling of the steam generator.
The supply with feed water is effected either via an external water storage container, which must be filled
periodically with water of the corresponding quality, or via a water treatment unit (e.g. MELAdem 40/
MELAdem 47).
Using the external water storage container
The storage container has a capacity of 11.5 l. This volume of feed water is sufficient for up to 25 steriliza-
tion runs. Fill the storage container with feed water. The water level of the storage container may not fall
below the MIN mark during operation. Check the water level in the storage container before every program
start.
NOTICE
Danger of algae development
n To prevent the development of algae, never expose the storage container to sunlight.
Use of a water treatment unit
A water treatment unit is connected to the drinking water supply. This obviates the need to fill the storage
container. The respective system is selected in accordance with the number of sterilization runs per day
and the type of the load. Every MELAG steam sterilizer can be fitted with a water treatment unit.
PLEASE NOTE
Should you wish to use a water treatment unit from another manufacturer, please consult
MELAG.
Supply with cooling water
The steam sterilzer vacuum pump and the water treatment unit require tap water for operation.
The connection of the steam sterilizer to the water line is comparable with the connection of a washing ma-
chine in a domestic context. Detailed information regarding the connection to the water line is provided in
the technical manual.
The used water is disposed via the on-site effluent system.
