1. Important Safety Instructions
Caution: Please install, operate and maintain the sterilizer in accordance with this
Instruction Manual. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage to the
unit.
Warning: The outer casing and metal surfaces of the sterilizer will be hot during operation,
please do not touch it.
Warning: Steam and hot water will be present when opening the door after a sterilizer cycle.
Avoid contact.
Warning: DO NOT place alcohol or other flammable items in the sterilizer. An explosion
could occur, causing personal injury.
Warning: DO NOT place any objects on the top of the sterilizer.
Warning: It will require at least two (2) or more people to carry the sterilizer to avoid
dropping it off by mistake.
Warning: Always check the pressure gauge before opening the door. DO NOT attempt to
open the door if the pressure is not at zero (0).
Warning: Use only distilled water. Normal tap water contains minerals, especially chlorides,
which have corrosive effects on stainless steel. Failure to use distilled water will
invalidate the warranty.
Warning: Always allow a minimum of 20 minutes between each sterilization cycle.
Warning: The door must be closed completely during operation of the unit. If the “DOOR”
indicator light illuminates, it means that the door is not closed properly.
Warning: Clean the water filter located at the back of the unit at least once per month. Refer
to Maintenance Instructions.
Warning: Use sterilization indicator test strips to check that sterilization has been
successful.
Warning: Always check the water level in the reservoir before running a sterilization cycle. If
the LOW WATER indicator light illuminates, add distilled water. If the water is
sufficient, but the LOW WATER indicator light is still illuminating, refer to
Troubleshooting.
Warning: Do not overfill the water reservoir. The water level must be maintained between
the green Full and Minimum labels on the right hand side of the sterilizer.
Warning: The ADD WATER indicator light (Figure 16 & 18) will illuminate during the
sterilization cycle. This is part of normal operation and no action on the part of the

3
user is required.
Warning: If the ALARM indicator light illuminates, the machine is over-pressure or
overheated. The sterilizer will shut down automatically. Contact your supplier for
service support.
Warning: Failure to follow the Maintenance Instructions will adversely affect performance
and lifespan of the sterilizer, and may invalidate the warranty.
Warning: Always keep the sterilizer clean.
Warning: In an emergency, or before carrying out any maintenance, always disconnect the
power cord from the outlet.
Warning: A separate (dedicated) circuit is recommended for the sterilizer. The sterilizer
should not be connected to an electrical circuit with other appliances or
equipment.
Warning: Please unplug the power cord and drain off water from the reservoir if the
sterilizer will not be used regularly.
Warning: Always check the status of the electric wire; unplug the power cord if breakage
comes up. Contact your supplier for service support.
