covered but unsealed.
7.4 Loading
The loading of goods and instruments is done by means of two stacked
baskets. The baskets are provided with handles for the convenience of the
operator.
There are 2 types of baskets:
1. Baskets that are fully perforated.
2. Baskets that are not perforated except one row of holes adjacent to the
basket’s top. These baskets are intended for waste cycles, to avoid
clogging of the vessel’s drainage pipe by overflowing liquids.
