1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The machine has a number of built-in safety mechanisms.
To avoid injury, it is highly important not to bypass these safety
mechanisms.
1.1 Important
• Read the Instructions for use thoroughly before use.
• The machine should only be handled by authorized
personnel. Personnel must also receive regular training.
• If any part is missing or damaged - do NOT use the product.
• Exercise caution when using the machine, as it uses hot
water and possibly steam. Because the machine uses hot
water, there may be hot surfaces in the facility.
• Exercise caution when handling chemical agents used in the
machine. Follow the instructions for the packaging the agent
comes in:
if the agent is swallowed, comes into contact with the
eyes or skin or if vapors are inhaled.
for instructions on dosage amount and washing
temperatures.
for instructions regarding storage and sorting/disposal
of packing.
• Make sure that the machine has access to detergent before
the process starts. This is important both for the operation of
the machine and for keeping the washing chamber free from
staining.
• The machine must be kept clean if it is to work properly.
• Do not wash down or hose down the machine with water.
• Installation and service work must be performed by trained
personnel.
• Never bypass the machine’s door switch under any
circumstances.
• Leakage in the system, due to a worn door seal for example,
must be repaired without delay.
• Spare parts must only be obtained from Arjo sales
companies.
• If a serious incident occurs in relation to this medical device,
a󰀨ecting the user, or the patient then the user or patient
should report the serious incident to the medical device
manufacturer or the distributor. In the European Union, the
user should also report the serious incident to the Competent
Authority in the member state where they are located.

1.2 Isolator switch
The machine must have a lockable switch for the electric power
supply. The switch must be easily accessible on a wall close to
the machine. The installation must conform to and be marked
in accordance with local provisions. A switch is not required on
machines tted with an electric plug.
1.3 In an emergency
• Switch o󰀨 the main switch.
• Close shut o󰀨 valves in the water supply line.

running a program.
The temperature/A0-value/time and cleaning
phase can be seen on the display.
When the green light comes on: The program
is complete. The green lamp goes out when the
door is opened and the maximum temperature of
the process shows on the display.
When the red light comes on: The machine has

• Remaining Time
• Temperature / Remaining time
• A0value / Remaining time
• A0value / Remaining time / Temperature
If an alternative with more than one parameter is selected, the
parameters will be displayed alternately. The A0value always
remains at 0 until the thermal disinfection begins. When the
temperature reaches 85°C, the A0value will increase in line with
the temperature and time.
2.6.2. Display after program end
The display can be set to show one of the following alternatives
once a program has nished:

4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Flushing chamber
If limescale deposits occur, they must be removed with ordinary
acid-based cleaning agent. There is no need to rinse it o󰀨. This
happens automatically during the next program.
001509
Figure 6. The wash chamber is cleaned using acid-based detergent
4.2 The outside
Do not wash the machine down with water.
The front and sides and the control panel can be cleaned and
disinfected with an alcohol-based cleaner, medical spirits or a
common cleaning agent. Remove stains with an ordinary cleaner
for stainless steel.
4.3 Preventive maintenance
For safety purposes, never modify equipment or use incompatible
parts.
4.3.1. Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance and system testing must be performed to
ensure safety and the machine’s proper operation.
The amount of maintenance required depends largely on the
quality of the incoming water and how often the machine is used.
The maintenance interval will have to be determined in each
individual case. Arjo recommends that the stated maintenance
operations be performed at intervals according to the service table.

17
4.3.2. Service table
The machine is connected to the electricity supply
and some components are live.
Maintenance may only be performed by authorized
service technicians.
NOTE! The service table is only shown for information
purposes.
The service table below shows recommended maintenance
intervals.
In addition to system testing, we recommend that appropriate
cleaning tests and temperature validation are performed according
to EN ISO 15883.
