Translation of the original operating manual
8.2.1. Autoclaving
The service life of the accessories essentially depends on the
frequency of autoclaving and use.
• Replace the accessories immediately when the parts show
changes in color or structure or in the occurrence of leaks etc.
• During autoclaving, the caps of the tubes must not be screwed on
in order to avoid the deformation of the tubes.
It cannot be excluded that plastic parts, e.g. lids or carriers, may
deform during autoclaving.
