NOTE
WHEN PURCHASING DISTILLED WATER, ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE QUALITY AND CHARACTERISTICS
DECLARED BY THE PRODUCER ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE SHOWN IN THE TABLE.
WARNING
THE USE OF WATER CONTAINING CONTAMINANTS IN LEVELS EXCEEDING THOSE
SHOWN IN THE TABLE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTEN THE STERILIZER'S LIFE.
IN ADDITION, THIS MAY INCREASE THE OXIDATION OF MORE SENSITIVE MATERIALS
AND INCREASE LIME RESIDUES ON THE GENERATOR, BOILER, INTERNAL SUPPORTS
AND INSTRUMENTS.
