LOCATION OF STERILIZER
DANGER
Do not operate this sterilizer
in areas where flammable
anesthetics are used or stored. An
explosion could occur causing possible
bodily injury.
Adherence to the following recommenda-
tions for location of the sterilizer will contrib-
ute to optimum operation of the unit. (Refer
to Figure 1 to identify locations specified in
the text.)
Support Surface (A) — Sterilizer must be
placed on a Level Surface to ensure that the
chamber will fill correctly. Improper water
level in the chamber could cause a sterilizer
malfunction.
Support Surface Material (B) — Formica,
stainless steel or other water and heat
resistant material. Heat from bottom of
sterilizer could reach 160°F (71°C) on the
support surfaces for short periods of time.
Figure 1
Support Surface Depth (C) — Support
surface should be approximately 18" (460 mm)
deep for the M9. Allow at least 2" (51 mm)
clearance behind the sterilizer for air circula-
tion.
Distance To Side Wall (D) — If the sterilizer
is located next to side walls, there should be
no less than 2" (51 mm) clearance between
the side of the sterilizer and the wall.
Distance Above Sterilizer (E) — If the
sterilizer is to be located beneath wall
cabinets or shelves, the underside of the
cabinets or shelves should be at least 22"
(559 mm) above the support surface for the
M9 to provide access to the top inspection
cover and to allow for changing the printer
paper roll.
Overhang (F) — If the sterilizer is to be
located beneath an overhang the underside
of the overhang should project no further
than 15" (381 mm) over the rear of the
sterilizer.
Location On Support Surface — The front of
the sterilizer should be located near the front
of the support surface so water can be
easily drained from the drain tube into a
container.
Neighboring Materials & Equipment — If the
sterilizer will be operated in continuous
cycles, locate the sterilizer where excessive
emission of steam will not damage materials
or equipment in the surrounding area.
RELOCATION OF STERILIZER
• Be sure power cord is disconnected from
the electrical outlet.
• Be sure sterilizer is cool enough for handling.
• Drain water from reservoir or take care
not to tip the sterilizer, spilling water from
the reservoir.
