CHAPTER 3
3.1 GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Before using the equipment, read the safety information carefully. Non-observance could
cause accidents or damage to the machine.
- Before using the unit, operators must have perfectly understood the meanings and functions of all the
controls.
- Operators must be aware of and know how to apply the safety regulations governing the use of the unit.
- Operators must know and correctly interpret all the indications contained in this manual and those applied
to the unit.
- Operators must not perform operations on their own initiative or operations that are not part of their job.
- The responsible authority must instruct and train the operator to use and service the unit safely; in
particular, it must ensure that this information has been correctly understood.
Particular attention must be paid to the emergency procedure concerning pathogenic materials released
into the atmosphere. This must be written in a special guide stored near the unit.
- In the event of malfunctions or potentially dangerous situations, operators MUST immediately report the
situation to the responsible authority.
- It is strictly forbidden to use or neutralize the safety devices.
- Make sure the unit is powered at the correct voltage.
- Make sure the unit is earthed and conforms to the standards applicable in the country of installation.
- Never dismantle the unit.
- Do not remove the outer safety guard. Even if the unit is not in operation, its cooling fan is always on if
power supply to the machine is connected. Danger of injury to hands (see chap. 3.4 “Residue risks”).
- The high voltages inside the unit are dangerous.
- If it is not possible to disconnect the power supply, disconnect the mains supply. If this is distant or not
visible by the person carrying out the maintenance work, place the sign, “Work in progress” on the mains
switch after it has been turned “OFF”.
- Keep the area around the unit clean and dry.
- Do not use solvents on the label.
- Do not remove the label on the unit. If necessary, ask for a new one.
- Clean the unit with a damp cloth after checking that the power lead is not connected (before using the unit
again, remove any traces of moisture).
- Do not pour water onto the unit or any other liquids that could cause short circuits or corrosion.
- Do not touch the unit with wet hands or if it is wet; always follow the precautions required for the use of
electrical equipment.
- The unit was not designed for use in the presence of gas or explosive vapours.
- Do not submit the unit to excessive mechanical stress such as impacts or strong vibrations.
- Do not lean over or stand in front of the door when opening it as there is a risk of scalding from escaping
steam (see chap. 3.4. “Residue risks”).
- In case of incomplete or unsuccessful sterilisation, the used water in the discharge tank or parts in
contact with the material to sterilise could contain contaminated residues; it is therefore advisable to use
protective rubber gloves during draining and handling operations in order to prevent the risk of pathogenic
contamination (see chap. 6.7 “Tanks: water filling and draining instructions” and chap. 3.4
“Residue risks”).
- The used water in the discharge tank may, if not properly sterilized, contain contaminated residues: wear
latex safety gloves while draining (see chap. 6.7 “Tanks: instructions for filling and emptying” and
chap. 3.4. “Residue risks”).
- Before transporting the machine, drain both water tanks. Use the supplied drain tube and follow the
instructions for draining (see chap. 6.7 “Tanks: filling and emptying”).
- Before being sterilised, all the materials must be treated as required by current law.

3.4 RESIDUE RISKS
During the normal work cycle, the operator is exposed to certain risks that cannot be completely eliminated
due to the nature of the unit.
-Danger of contamination.
In case of unsuccessful sterilisation or a possible fault, the used water and any parts directly or indirectly
in contact with the load may contain contaminating residues.
The responsible authority must teach the operator how to use the unit safely.
-Danger of burns.
1. When the sterilizer finishes the sterilization cycle and the door is opened to remove the sterilized
instruments, the inner parts of the boiler and door are still very hot. Do not touch these directly in order
to avoid getting burnt (Fig. 3.4-1). Use the relative extractor tool (chap. 3.3 “Safety devices”).
2. When opening the door, do not stand over or in front of it as you may be scalded by the steam (Fig.
3.4-2).
Fig. 3.4-1
Fig. 3.4-2
-Danger of contamination.
The water used in the discharge tank may, if not properly sterilized, contain contaminated residues: wear
latex safety gloves when draining (chap. 3.5).
-Danger of injury to hands. Even if the unit is not in operation, its cooling fan is always on if power
supply to the machine is connected (see chap. 3.5). Do not remove the outer safety guard before
disconnecting power supply.
3.5 SAFETY SIGNS ON THE UNIT

5.4 INTEGRATED PRINTER
5.4.1 Integrated printer for INSPECTION®and MED versions
The E9 autoclave in the INSPECTION®and MED versions is set in such a way that the data regarding the
sterilisation cycle in progress is always printed, as well as the type of cycle selected, the phase of the cycle,
the temperature and pressure values, and the split and total times in minutes. When each cycle is
completed, the printer also produces a summary report of the result of the cycle and the total time taken,

regardless of whether the cycle was successful or not and regardless of whether it was stopped manually or
an alarm was generated. The function of printing the summary report can be excluded if desired (chap. 9.3.1
“Inactivating the internal printer”).
- The printer only works if paper is inserted.
- If no roll of paper is inserted, the printer does not work.
- The green POWER LED is always on while the printer is working.
- The red ERROR LED indicates a problem, e.g.: the paper has finished, the cover is incorrectly closed,
etc..
- The FEED button feeds the paper.
- Press the button once to feed the paper by one line.
- Hold down the button to feed the paper continuously.
To fit a new roll of paper:
1. Open the cover of the roll of paper, by holding the sides with your fingers and pulling it slightly.
2. Remove the used roll, if present.
3. Fit the new roll of paper as shown in the figure; make sure the paper leaves the roll in the right direction.
4. Pull out a small quantity of paper and close the cover.
5. Tear off the excess paper.
Use rolls of thermal printer paper with the following characteristics:
width: 57 - 58 mm
maximum diameter: 40 mm
Fig. 5.5-1
Do not expose thermal printer paper, both before and after use, to direct sunlight, heat or
humidity.
Avoid direct contact with materials in polyvinyl, as well as solvents and various
derivatives (filing envelopes in PVC, acrylics and paper treated with ammonia vapours).
