Electromagnetic environments
When assessing the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of this device, the emitted interference threshold
values for Class B devices and the stability for operation in an electromagnetic environment as described
in IEC 61326-1 were taken as the basis. The device is thus suitable for operation in all institutions and
domestic settings connected to a public mains power supply. The floor should be made of wood or
concrete or be tiled with ceramic tiling. If the floor is fitted with synthetic material, the relative humidity must
amount to a minimum of 30%.

Measures for protecting
the drinking water
We recommend the use of a safety combination consisting of a back-flow
preventer and a pipe aerator (e.g. the assembly set in accordance with
EN1717 for MELAdem) in accordance with EN1717 to protect against
backflow into the drinking water supply.
Leakage water detector MELAG recommends the installation of a leakage water detector with a cut-off
valve (e.g. MELAG water stop).
PLEASE NOTE
Fit the outlet hose at a constant decline without kinks or sagging. In case of deviations to
the installation arrangements, consult with MELAG.
Failure to do so can result in malfunctions of the device.

3 Setup and installation
WARNING
Improper installation may lead to a short-circuit, fire, water damage or electrical shock.
This could result in serious injury.
nOnly have the device set up, installed and commissioned by people authorised by MELAG.
Removing from the packaging
CAUTION
Danger of injury from incorrect carrying.
Lifting and carrying too heavy a load can result in spinal injury. Failure to comply with
these provisions can result in crushing.
nThe device should always be carried by two people.
nUse the correct carrying straps to carry the device.
1. Remove the steam sterilizer from the box using the carrying straps.
2. Unscrew the four screws from each side of the unit cover to remove the straps.
3. Then re-screw these screws without the flat washers.
4. Store the carrying straps and washers in a safe place.
5. Open the door and remove the trays and accessories immediately after switching on the device.
Aligning the door seal sealing lips
Long periods of storage with the door closed can result in the sealing lips of the door seal becoming stuck.
Align the sealing lips to prevent leaks.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the door seal.

3 Setup and installation
12
2. Press your thumb between the two sealing lips and
separate the sealing lips once around with your
thumb.
PLEASE NOTE
Note the differences in the widths of the sealing surfaces when inserting the door seal.
The door can only be shut correctly and the sterilization chamber sealed, if the door seal
sits correctly in the groove.
3. Insert the door seal into the groove.
ÊThe wide sealing surface points towards the
chamber.

Installation examples
On the following pages, you will find examples of the recommended installation types for the feed water
supply. The connection of a different water treatment unit with the same water quality is possible after
consultation with MELAG.
Example 1 - Standard delivery state
Direct feed water inflow from the internal storage tank. The wastewater will be collected in the wastewater
side of the storage tank. No water connection required.
The steam sterilizer is supplied with feed water directly from the internal storage tank via a hose bridge. A
float switch integrated in the device notifies the absence of feed water. Programs can only be started after
feed water has been filled. The used feed water (wastewater) is collected in the wastewater side of the
internal storage tank and is to be emptied manually at a later point. In the wastewater side, a float switch
monitors the current water level.

Date and time
Check the date and time and set if necessary. Consult the user manual.
Feed water inflow
The feed water supply is effected either via the internal storage tank or via a separate water treatment unit
(e.g. MELAdem 40). Setup the feed water inflow depending on the installation version to ナイフ゛ or カ゛イフ゛.
Further information is provided in the device user manual.
Additional program options
Theシ゛ト゛ウ ヨネツ function heats the steam sterilizer chamber to a preheating temperature of the
respective program before program start, or holds this temperature between two program runs. This will
shorten the cycle times. It also reduces condensate formation on the chamber wall.
Theツイカ カンソウカ゛ function increases the program by 50% for difficult drying tasks.
