11.8 Cut-Off Thermostat
This thermostat cuts out power to the autoclave, in the event that all other
safety systems do not function. For example: if the operator forgets to fill the
chamber with water, and starts the sterilization cycle, the chamber will heat
up and activate the cut-off thermostat. In order to restart the operation, press
the RESET button. If the autoclave is operated according to the instructions,
and the thermostat cuts off, a technician should be called.
The thermostat has been calibrated by the manufacturer of the autoclave.
Do not attempt to re-calibrate it

Before starting, ensure that the electric cord is disconnected from the

2. Release the two terminal wires from the heating element.
3. Remove the heater tightening bolts (1).

two terminal wires.
