8.3 Filling the Water Reservoir
Remove the water reservoir cover. Pour distilled water into the reservoir
through the opening on top of the autoclave until it reaches the base of the
safety valve holder. The water quantity is approx. 7.1 liters (1.56 US gal.).
Use only water having the characteristics as per table in para. 2.13. Tap
water may clog the system. A clogged system causes increase of pressure,
which prevent temperature from rising.
Caution!
Under no circumstance should water be filled above the safety valve
holder.
8.4 Condense collecting tray
Since residual condense may accumulate between the water briar and the
door, we recommend to place a condense-collecting tray (1 – supplied with
the autoclave) under the autoclave's door. Verify that this tray is placed
under the front edge of the chamber.
