Before using the autoclave for the first time please take time to read the following pages to familiarise yourself with the operation of the unit.
We strongly recommend that all users of the autoclave are trained in its operation.
The autoclave is very easy to use. By following this simple operating sequence in conjunction with the pictures of the autoclave, it's controls,
display panel and operating symbols (page 3), you will be able to ensure your instruments are correctly sterilized every time.
The mains plug should always be easily accessible as it is to be relied upon as "the means of disconnection"
1. Water
Fill the unit to the water level line on the inside of the chamber with
0.75l of distilled or de-ionised water.
D O N OT USE TAP WATER O R O VERFILL.
2. Loading
Place U NWRAPPED and WASHED instruments O NLY plus a TST Strip
into the instrument basket or cassettes, and place in the unit.
If using a basket, place the metal 'V' support in the bottom of the
unit so ensuring instruments and TST strips are not in the water .
TST strips should be placed as near to the centre of the load as
possible.
WARNIN G!
The manufacturers of instruments should be consulted
about their suitability for autoclaving and the maximum
temperature which the instruments can withstand.
3. Closing.
Always place the lid on the autoclave with the Depressurization Valve
(A) open.
Align the lid and body (F1) and turn in a clockwise direction ensuring
the lid is completely closed (F2).
Close the Depressurization Valve (A) so it is aligned with the " O " on
the lid.
Never leave in position as shown in F1.

The Buzzer sounds.
Lights: L1 illuminates G REEN
L4 illuminates G REEN
Note: L4 remains G REEN until a new cycle is started or the
unit is disconnected from the mains power.
6. Depressurizing.
O nce the Sterilizing Cycle has been completed, the unit needs to be
depressurized and allowed to cool down before the lid and sterilized
instruments can be removed.
The time taken to reach the point at which this is safe to do so can
be shortened by Manually Depressurizing the unit.
O pen the Depressurization Valve (A) by turning slowly in an anti
clockwise direction*.
The Pressure Indicator (C) will drop once the steam has been
released .
* Warning: There will be a visual and audible release of steam from
the rear of the top moulding..
7. Unlocking.
O nce the pressure has been released the lid may be unlocked.
Ensure the Depressurization Valve (A) is open. Remove the lid by
turning in an anti-clockwise direction (F1).
8. Unloading.
Lift off the lid, gently place upside down on a solid work surface and
leave to cool. Ensure the Depressurization Valve (A) is in the closed
position to avoid damaging it.
The unit has completed a successful cycle if the "spot" on the TST
Indicator Strip has completely changed colour from yellow to purple.*
The basket or cassettes containing the sterilized instruments can now
be lifted out of the unit.
To avoid damage, replace the lid as described in step "3"
* Please Note: If the "spot" has not completely changed colour,
replace with a new TST strip and start a new cycle. If the "spot" fails
to change colour for a second time, do not use the unit until it has
been checked by a qualified engineer.
D O N OT USE THE INSTRUMENTS IF A C O MPLETE STERILIZATI O N
CYCLE HAS N OT BEEN AC HIEVED.
