• The sterilizer should be placed on a level worktable.
• Improper water level in the chamber could cause a sterilizer malfunction.
• Leave at least 10 cm between the device rear part and the wall. The clearance required to open
the door is 40cm.
• Position the autoclave at such a height as to make it possible for the operator to check the whole
sterilization chamber and carry out the normal cleaning operations.
• The room where the device is installed must have sufficient ventilation.

Connect the draining tube to the vent and the end of the draining tube is fixed into the discharge
container (preferably a metal container; if it is a plastic container, make sure that the container is filled
with a part of cold water to prevent high temperature deformation).
To power on, press the main switch, the machine turns on the LED.
Note: If the door is open, the display will show “do”; When the door is closed, the display will show “Ld”.

• Follow instrument manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for handling and cleaning
instruments prior to sterilization.
• Check the manufacturer’ s instructions as to the proper procedure for sterilizing of each item.
• Arrange the samples of different materials on different trays or with at least 3cm of space
between them.
• Clean and dry instruments thoroughly before placing them into tray.

Operation
Close the exhaust valve by turning it clockwise to the maximum position.
Fill with the chamber with distilled water (or deionized water).
