9.3 Replacing the Safety Valve
The safety valve is installed to protect the Jacket from over
pressurizing should all the electrical controls fail.
Caution!
Before starting, be sure that the electric cord is disconnected and that
there is no pressure in the chamber or jacket.
1. Take off the autoclave cover (see para. 9.2 “Removing the
Autoclave’s Outer Covers”).
2. Remove the water reservoir gasket.
3. Unscrew the safety valve and remove it from the safety valve base.
4. Replace the valve with a new safety valve (install only an original
equipment replacement!). Use a hydraulic sealant to seal the
threads to ensure that the assembly is leak free.
5. Perform one cycle and verify that the valve operates correctly.
