4.4 TOPPING UP AND DRAINING THE TANKS
The sterilizer is fitted with two 3,5-liters tanks; main tank for the clean demineralized water and recovery
tank for used water .
The hydraulic system allows the recovery of the steam generated during the sterilization process. The re-
covery takes place during the decompression phase, and the steam is condensed and collected into the
used water tank. As it is full, the exceeding water outflows into the main tank and recycled. This feature
has been taken into account during the equipment design in order to avoid the risk of water pollution from
the condensed steam; we recommend anyway to carry out periodically the complete drain of the tanks
and the fill of the main tank with new demineralized water; soluble deposits on not-completely cleaned in-
struments can indeed be transported by the steam into the tubes and deposit into the tank, on electro-
valves, filters, internal chamber surface, trays and instrument itself causing on course of the time marks
and sterilizer malfunction.
After about 5-8 cycles the Led MIN turns on signaling the need for a main tank topping up; in case you de-
cide to use the water one time only (not the recycled water), fill up the tank and carry out the drain of the
used water tank. Otherwise the led Max will turn on signalling that the used water tank is full and the ex-
ceeding water will be poured into the main tank.
4.4.1 Topping up the main tank
The lighting of the Led MIN signals a water level into the main tank insufficient to perform a new cycle.
Provides for the topping up of the main tank, taking care to not exceed the maximum level reference
marked on the tank opening.
4.4.2 Draining the tanks
In case of operation with recycled water it is necessary, after about 60 cy-
cles, to drain completely both tanks and fill the main tank with new deminer-
alized water . In this case:
Get a bucket or a tank of at least 3,5 l capacity.
Fix the drain tube into the left fast fitting (black) and wait for a complete
draining.
Unfit the tube pushing the ring nut against the machine and drawing the
tube.
Repeat the operation for the main tank (right fast fitting - white).
Provides for the fill of the main tank with 3.5l of demineralized water, tak-
ing care to not exceed the maximum level reference marked on the tank
opening.
CAUTION! The water contained in the recovery tank is to be regarded as biologically contami-
nating, therefore when this tank is emptied, suitable precautions should be taken. The disposal of re-
covery water needs to be done in accordance with the national or local regulation.
