7.7. Shut the door, move the Door Closing Devise into position and tighten,
making sure that the Door Switch is activated.
NOTE:
Due to the inherent elasticity of the door gasket, it is important to
tighten the door bolt until “hand tight”. Do not over - tighten the bolt
as this may result in damage to the gasket.
Should the autoclave fail to reach the sterilizing temperature/pressure,
always check first that the door is fully sealed. If not, then tighten the
door bolt further, as described above, until completely sealed.
7.8. Turn the Thermostat knob to the desired sterilization temperature.
Note: This autoclave is designed according to all international
standards, which allows the temperature to raise 4ºF (2ºC)
over the working temperature.
Sterilization Time Table
Note: The table shows different times for M (Standard Manual) & MK
(Kwiklave Manual) units as well as for hot and cold starts.
Make sure you are using the correct times for your model machine.
A hot start is any cycle that is begun within 1 hour of a previous cycle ending
(including drying time).
Note: These sterilization times are based on the unit being supplied the
correct voltage, as indicated on the Technical Label attached to the outer
cabinet. If the voltage supplied is substantially less than the indicated voltage,
additional time must be added to each cycle.
