5-5. Checking sterilizing water
Open the chamber lid and check that the
sterilizing water in the chamber is not
contaminated.
When water is contaminated, drain water.
※
For the procedures of draining water, refer to
“5-11. Draining sterilizing water”.
Check that the water level in the chamber
is such that the grating (bottom plate) is
soaked.
※
For sterilizing with a large volume of liquid
in the bucket, supply water until the bottom
of the bucket is covered with water to
approximately 5 cm.
When the water level is not appropriate,
supply water until the grating (bottom plate)
is soaked.

The autoclave generates steam by heating sterilizing water in the chamber with the element
heater. Check the quality and volume of sterilizing water in order to carry out appropriate
sterilization.
Use tap water as sterilizing water. If puried water or extremely cold water is used as sterilizing
water, the water level sensor may not correctly detect the level of sterilizing water.
If the quality of the tap water causes any problems, puried water mixed with tap water can
be used instead. In this case, pour puried water in the chamber rst. Once the slatted bottom
plate is soaked, add tap water until low water level indication lamp lights off. Due to the quality
of tap water is quite different depending on each area, please adjust the amount of sterilizing
water based on 300ML of tap water for 3L of puried water.
