7. Set the multi-purpose valve knob to the FILL position. The water will
now flow into the chamber. When the water reaches the mark at the
bottom of the autoclave set the multi-purpose valve knob to the
STE.(sterilize) position.
Note: When used for the first time, the multi-purpose valve requires slight
effort, but with use it will turn smoothly and easily.
Warning
Multi-purpose valve knob should be turned in a clock-wise direction only!
8. Load the autoclave.
Note: Using the drums is not recommended.
9. Shut the door and move the door tightening bolt handle clockwise until it
is closed tightly.
Note:
Due to inherent elasticity of the door gasket, the HEAT indicator light
may indicate that the door is closed before a complete seal is made
between the door and the chamber.
Therefore, in order to ensure the door is fully sealed, continue to
tighten the door bolt until “hand-tight”. Do not over - tighten the bolt
as this may result in damage to the gasket.
10. Turn the pressure switch (B10) knob to the desired sterilization
temperature.
230ºF-273ºF (110ºC-134ºC) 0-32Psi (1-2.1Bar)
This autoclave is designed according to all international standards, which
allows the temperature to raise 4ºF (2ºC) over the working temperature.
If this discrepancy effects your working procedures, you may decrease the
working temperature by turning the pressure switch (B10) knob slightly
counter clock-wise.
Caution:
VERY IMPORTANT!
The Temperature scale on the panel is very accurate, however due to
sensitivity of the pressure switch (B10), slight differences may occur. An
adjustment of the pressure switch (B10) knob may have to be made
upon initial installation, so that the pressure gauge shows as follows:
16 - 18psi for 250ºF 1.1 - 1.2 Bars for 121ºC
30 - 32psi for 273ºF 2 - 2.1 Bars for 134ºC
