PAR. 6
The installation is a fundamental operation for the following use and good operation of the device.
Here is a list of the points to be followed in order to achieve a good installation.
1. The device must be installed inside a laboratory accessible only to authorised personnel.
2. The room in which the autoclave is installed must comply with current work place illumination regulations.
3. Position the device on a plane surface with minimum capacity 60 Kg.
4. Make sure that the sterilisation chamber is slightly tilted towards the bottom. Pour half a glass of distilled
water into the chamber; the water must flow towards the chamber bottom, otherwise act on the two front
feet to adjust the autoclave level.
5. Leave at least 10 cm between the device rear part and the wall.
6. Position the autoclave at such a height as to make it possible for the operator to check the whole
sterilisation chamber and carry out the normal cleaning operations.
7. The room where the device is installed must be enough ventilated.
8. Do not install the autoclave near washing basins, taps, because the device furniture is not waterproof.
9. Do not place trays, papers, fluid containers, etc. on the device, because the device grids are used to
ventilate must not be obstructed.
10. Do not lean on the door when it is opened.
11. Do not install the device near sources (for instance: autoclave, bunsen, burner and kiln); keep a
minimum distance of 40 cm.
12. Install the device in such a way as not excessively bend the supplying cable.
13. In case the filling tank is directly discharged in waste waters, position the device at a height which is
higher than the discharge.
In case the device is built in we recommend to remove the housing. Avoid the possibility to accidentally
access to the hot and electrical parts of the device. (PROOF OF THE FINGER).
15. When the autoclave is embedded it is necessary to follow these instructions:
•
Place the rilsan pipe (Diam.8) supplied with the autoclave in POS.1 Photo A or in the fitting pipe A (if
present)
•
Discharge by gravity the other extremity of the pipe in an open container, to allow the discharge of the
steam. THE PIPE MUST NEVER GET IN TOUCH WITH THE WATER INSIDE THE CONDENSE
CONTAINER.
16. Make sure that the electrical system to which the device is connected is produced according to the laws
in force and has the suitable dimension for the device features; see PAR.2 of this manual.
17. Plug the unit to a socket with a rated voltage of 230V±10% MONOPHASE+EARTH, frequency 50/60Hz,
current 16A, as shown on the identification plate place in the rear side of the device.
18. Never connect the device pin to reductions of any type.
19. Load the filling tank as explained on PAR.9, of this manual.
20. After the installation, carry out a LOADED sterilisation cycle as explained on PAR.12 of this manual.
