10.9 Starting cycle
1. Start the cycle by pressing the START/STOP key.
The autoclave starts performing sequence of operations. The actual
measured values of pressure and temperature are displayed
continuously and printed every minute at STE stage, and every 5
minutes at the other stages. The phase in progress is displayed at the
right side of the upper line as WATER, HEAT, STER., EXH., and
DRY.
If the operator presses the START key and the door is not completely
closed, the process will not start, and the DOOR indicator will flash
twice then turn off and the buzzer will sound four times.
Caution!
Do not touch the strainer’s cover, mounted on the exhaust line,
during and short after operation.
Touching the hot strainer’s cover may cause severe injuries.
10.10 Unloading
1. When the cycle ended, press START/STOP key to verify the status.
Message "Cycle Ended" (and the relevant failure message, if
applicable) is displayed on the screen.
2. Verify that there is no pressure in the chamber, according to the
reading on the display. Only then you may open the door.
3. Open the autoclave. (see sec. 10.2 Opening the door)
Warning!
To avoid severe injuries from hot steam when opening the door:
It is strictly forbidden to lean on the autoclave.
It is strictly forbidden to place your hand or any part of your body
over the door.
Wear heat-resistant gloves or use the tray handle to remove the
load from the autoclave.
Since the autoclave is defined as a bio-hazard autoclave, a failed
cycle may leave un-sterilized waste in the chamber. Therefore,
failed cycle will be followed by a slow exhaust and the door will
remain locked. To enable opening the door perform a new cycle.
The door can be opened only after a successful cycle.
