1- Put the articles to be sterilized on
the trays so that stream could flow
homogeneously. Don’t place
the articles on top of each other.
(See user manual, page 30)
2- If tools are wrapped it’s better
to put them with paper side on
the top and don’t overload the trays.
3- Put the trays in the chamber pushing
them in the removal guides and
verify the tray is straight. Put the two
smaller trays in the top and down
guides and the two bigger trays in
