instructions shown on the display of the device. Sterilize the affected load after re-wrapping again.
Removing the sterile material
n Never use force to open the door.
n Use a tray lifter to remove the tray. Never touch the sterilized equipment, the chamber, the mount or
the inside of the door with bare hands. The components are hot.

Should the packaging be damaged, re-pack the load and re-sterilize it.
