Never modify the product.
-
A
CAUTION
Foreign matter (metals, liquid) may enter through the vent hole. Operating the equipment
with such foreign matter inside may cause trouble with the equipment, fire and electric
shock.
Do not forcibly bend, twist, tie or extend the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the
cord.
A
damaged cord or exposed wire may cause fire orelectric shock.
Never connect the power cord to a power supply other than the voltage that is rated.
Connection to such a power supply may cause fire or electric shock.
If
not plugging the sterilizerinto a grounded socket, ground the equipment separately before
connecting it to a power source.
Never ground to a gas pipe or vinyl chloride water servicepipe.
Before closing the lid, check to see that there are no foreign matters in the portion of the lid
which is in contact with the lid packing. Foreign matters may cause steam leakage.
Whenever
a
bag, such
as
a
waste disposal bag, isused for sterilization,put it in the wire mesh
basket and place the
basket
in
the working chamber. If the bag is placed directly in the
working chamber, the piping may become cloggedby itand overheating, overpressurization,
and/orlack of water
may
result.
,
Be careful not to pinch hands when closing the Iid.
Do not put your face or hands close to the working chamber when lifting the lid after
operations are complete; steam will gush out of the opening of the chamber.
The lid, working chamber, packing and panel are extremely hot immediately after the
completion of operation. Do not touch the equipment or you may
get
burned.
Put on heat insulation gloves before removing a substance from the working chamber. Do
not put your hands into the chamber until the steam has been vented.
@
It takes
a
lot of timefor the liquid to cool. Be sureto check that the temperature has dropped
sufficiently before unloading the liquid from the working chamber, or you may get burned.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Do not unload the exhaust bottle or drain the working chamber when the chamber is under
pressure. Boiling water or steam may gush out, and
you
may get burned.
a
Do not unload the exhaust bottle before water in the bottle has been sufficiently cooled.
0
Do not dispose of used batteries in fire; they may explode.
a
If you encounter any anomaly
(e.g.
abnormal sound
and
smell, smoking), immediately shut
off power. After checking to see that the abnormal condition is not continuing, call us or our
authorized sales outlet from shich
you
purchased
it.
0
If the display differsbetween the steps, turn off the
POWER
switch, and then turn the power
on again.
If
the condition still remains, turn off the power and call us or our authorized sales
outlet from which
you
purchased it.
a
If
the equipment is installed in a place which is
800
m
or higher than sea level (i.e. under low
pressure
in
mountain areas), the over pressure preventive device and the air vent device
require changes to their setting.
In
this case, be sureto contact us. Do not use theequipment
before changing the setting.
a
In transporting the equipment, put the lid on and slide the open/close lever
to
the end of the
close side to prevent the lid from opening.
When moving the
lid,
do not hold it
by
the handle, otherwise the lid may become difficult to
close.

What
Is
Autoclave
HV-25/50/85111O?
1.
Product
Uses
This product is designed for research use only (Modes
1
-
3).
It is not labeled or marketed
for
use in medical
or
clinical applications.
This product is also used to liquefy media (Mode
4).
Mode 4 can also be used to prewarm the
chamber for a faster start.
2.
Product Features
This product is equipped with
a
cover for the lid that may be heated at hlgh temperature during
use.
Theproduct incorporates an automatic timer which permits you to begin operation at any desired
time within a period of one week.
The product is provided with a variety of modes of operation. The modes are divided into two
broad categories: Sterilization-warming mode and liquefaction mode.
If
you do not take out the
sterilized medium immediately, then select the sterilization-warming mode, and coagulation is
prevented. To liquefy a coagulated medium, use the liquefaction mode.
This autoclavecan be set to automatically exhaust
%
inside the chamberat a desired rate (exhaust
valve aperture) after sterilization is over.
Optional equipment (printer, floating sensor, cooling fan, automatic water supply equipment)
can be installed onto the product at a later date.

Be careful not to pinch hands when closing the lid.
Check to see that the area of the lid that is to come in contact with the lid gasket
is
free
from
foreign matter before closing the lid. Foreign matter present in the area may cause the steam
leakage.

Whenever abag, such as a waste disposal bag, is used for sterilization,put it in the

NOTE
a
When sterilizing
an
empty deep container, lay
it
on its sidein the working chamber sothat it
will be permeated with steam. An upright position may cause insufficient sterilization.
If
a waste disposalbag is used in sterilization, open the bag far enough that the bag is not in
contact with the inside surface of the working chamber. Insufficient sterilization
may
be
caused if the bag is closed during sterilization. When thebag is opened excessively,steam is
prevented fromcirculating
in
the working chamber. This may also result in insufficient
sterilization.
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Do not pile specimens on top of one another. When the chamber is overly packed, steam fails
to penetrate
to
all points, resulting in incomplete sterilization.
0
In sterilizing liquids such as chemical and medium, pay attention to the quantity
of
the liquid
in relation
to
its container. For
an
Erlenmeyer
flask,
the amount of chemical should
be
approx.
314
of the capacity of the container; for
a
test tube, the appropriate quantity of chemical is
approx. half of the capacity of the container. Toomuch chemical may result in overflow from
the container during the temperature rising or coolingprocess.
When using a container, loosen the cap or use

breathable cap. An unbreathable cap
may
cause the container to burst.
