9.2 Draining the Reservoir
Caution!
Before starting, Make sure that the electric cord is disconnected and
there is no pressure in the autoclave.
The drain valves are located on the autoclave’s front. Each compartment
(jacket reservoir and vacuum pump water reservoir) is connected to a
separate drain valve (see location drawing below).
1. Connect the supplied plastic tube to the relevant valve and turn
drain valve counter clockwise (1 turn).
2. When the water reservoir is empty, turn drain valve clockwise to the
closed position. Remove the plastic tube.
3. Connect the electric cord to power source.
4. Turn on the autoclave. Mineral free water / tap water will enter the
relevant reservoir until it reaches the water level switch,
approximately 2.5 liters (0.7 gallons) in each compartment
The autoclave is now ready for use.
