Before using the autoclave for the first time please take time to read the following pages to familiarize your self
with the operation of the unit. ll personnel who operate or maintain the autoclave must be trained in its
operation and safe use. The utoclave is very easy to use. By following this simple operating sequence in
conjunction with the pictures of the utoclave, its controls, display panel and operating symbols (page3), you
will be able to ensure your instruments are correctly sterilized every time.
1. Water
Fill the unit to the water level line on the inside of the chamber with 0.75 litres of distilled or de-ionised
water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER OR OVERFILL.
2. Loading (Solid Instruments)
Do not attempt to sterilize lumened instruments or dental hand pieces in the unit.
a) Prior to sterilization, all instruments must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected to ensure they are not
damaged and will function properly.
b) Place UNWR PPED and W SHED instruments ONLY, plus a Chemical Indicator Strip, into a suitable
instrument container, eg. basket or cassette. (Baskets and cassettes are perforated to permit rapid and
complete steam penetration.)
c) Place all instruments in the vertical, open, unlocked position; ensuring face-to-face contact between flat
surfaces is avoided.
d) Smaller instruments, which can be laid horizontally within the instrument container, should be placed in
such a way that all surfaces will be exposed to steam.
NOTE: Point to point contact will not impede sterilization, but significant contact between flat surfaces will.

WARNING!
Do not touch body or lid as these parts
become hot when the autoclave is in
operation
Getting Started.
WARNING!
Mains outlet MUST BE GR UNDED (EARTHED)
The mains plug should always be easily accessible as it is to be relied upon as “the means of disconnection”
WARNING!
Models 210006 and 210007 can reach a maximum chamber temperature of 124°
°°
°C. The manufacturers of
instruments should be consulted about their suitability for autoclaving and the maximum temperature which the
instruments can withstand.

e) Instruments which can be disassembled should be, in
order to facilitate both cleaning and sterilization.
f) Before placing the basket in the vessel, place the metal
“V” support in the bottom of the unit, to ensure the
instruments and the Chemical Indicator Strip are not in the
water.
g) Chemical Indicator Strip should be placed as near to
the centre of the chamber as possible, amongst the
instruments.
NOTE: This sterilizer has not been evaluated for use with
dental hand pieces. Instruments sterilized in this unit
cannot be maintained in a sterile state after sterilization
because they are unwrapped.
3. Closing.
lways place the lid on the autoclave with the
Depressurisation Valve (A) open. lign the lid
and body (F1) and turn in a clockwise direction
ensuring the lid is completely closed (F2).
Close the Depressurisation Valve (A) so it is aligned with
the “O” on the lid.
Never leave in position as shown in F1.
4. Power Connection.
ttach the cable supplied to the rear of the unit and plug
into a GROUNDED (E RTHED) mains electrical socket of
the CORRECT voltage.
Lights: L1 illuminates GREEN
. Starting.
Start the sterilizing cycle by pressing button (B)
Lights: L1 illuminates GREEN
L2 illuminates OR NGE
- s the temperature rises, air will be displaced by steam
through the ir Bleed Device located in the lid, until it
closes with an audible “click”, sealing the unit.
The Pressure Indicator (C) will rise indicating the unit is
now pressurised.
- ‘Sterilizing Temperature’ is reached when:
Lights: L1 illuminates GREEN
L2 flashes OR NGE
L3 illuminates YELLOW
- The sterilizing cycle is completed when:
The Buzzer sounds.
Lights: L1 illuminates GREEN
L4 illuminates GREEN
Note: L4 remains GREEN until a new cycle is started or
the unit is disconnected from the mains power.
6. Depressurising.
Once the Sterilizing Cycle has been completed, the unit
needs to be depressurised and allowed to cool down
before the lid and sterilized instruments can be removed.
Manually Depressurising so can shorten the time taken to
reach the point at which this is safe to do the unit.
Open the Depressurisation Valve (A) by turning slowly in
an anti clockwise direction*.
The Pressure Indicator (C) will drop once the steam has
been released.
* Warning: There will be a visual and audible release of
steam from the rear of the top moulding.
7. Unlocking.
Once the pressure has been released the lid may be
unlocked.
Ensure the Depressurisation Valve (A) is open. Remove the
lid by turning in an anti-clockwise direction (F1).
8. Unloading
Lift off the lid using the side handles, gently place upside
down on a solid work surface and leave to cool. Ensure the
Depressurisation Valve (A) is in the closed position to avoid
damaging it.
The unit has completed a successful cycle if the “spot” on
the Chemical Indicator Strip has completely changed colour
from yellow to purple.
The container with the sterilized instruments can now be
lifted out of the unit.
To avoid damage, replace the lid as described in step “3”
* Please Note: If the “spot” has not completely changed
colour, replace with a new Chemical Indicator strip and start
a new cycle. If the “spot” fails to change colour for a second
time, do not use the unit until it has been checked by a
qualified engineer.
DO NOT USE THE INSTRUMENTS IF A COMPLETE
STERILIZATION CYCLE HAS NOT BEEN ACHIEVED.
9. Biological Monitoring
9.1 Selecting Biological Indicator
Healthcare personnel should select Biological Indicators
consisting of spores of Bacillus Stearothermophtlus that
comply with the merican National Standard, Biological
Indicators for saturated steam sterilization processes in
healthcare facilities ( MI, 1986). In addition, data should be
obtained from manufacturers on the reliability, safety and
performance characteristics of their products. Manufacturers
of Biological Indicators should also be required to provide
written instructions on the storage, handling, use and
microbiological testing of their products.
9.2 Frequency of Use of Biological Indicators
Tabletop sterilizers should be biologically monitored during
installation and after any major repairs. In addition,
sterilization loads should be biologically monitored at least
once a week, but preferably daily. Each load containing
implantable devices should be monitored and, whenever
possible, the implantable devices should be quarantined until
the results of the Biological Indicator testing are available.
Biological Indicator should also be used for periodic
monitoring of all types of packages and trays processed.
9.3 Biological Indicators
This sterilizer is designed for surface sterilization, therefore,
a spore strip or self-contained Biological Indicator offers an
appropriate challenge to measure delivery of an adequate
dose to kill spores. Placement of Biological Indicators should
be near the centre of the instrument load in the basket or in
one of the cassettes. For small loads, the indicator should be
placed amongst the instruments, which are being processed.
9.4 Routine Biological Monitoring
For routine biological monitoring, the sterility of the load is
evidenced by the killing (failure to recover) of all spores on
the test Biological Indicators (spore strips). ll Biological
Indicator results, including results from controls, must be
interpreted by a qualified individual and must be included in
the sterilizer records.

Safety features.
1. Located to the rear of the lid, beneath the cover, is a
spring called the Gasket Offset Device (GOD Spring),
designed to prevent pressure building up if the lid has
been incorrectly fitted.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH THIS SAFETY DEVICE
2. If for any reason, the temperature falls below
the minimum required sterilizing temperature, resulting in
the Sterilizing light (L3) switching off, the cycle timer will
re-start from zero once the correct temperature has
been restored.
3. If there is an electrical or electronic failure resulting in a
build up of pressure - in excess of normal operating
pressure - one or all of the following safety features will
be activated.
i) Depressurisation Valve ( ) will loudly and
rapidly “vent” steam.
ii) The gasket will “extrude” through the slot in
the rear of the lid rapidly releasing excess
pressure and steam.
iii) non - resettable thermal fuse located in
the base of the unit will “melt’ at a pre-
determined temperature, disconnecting the
power.
Should any of the devices listed above activate,
please observe the following steps:
a) Do not touch the unit.
b) Switch off at the wall socket and un-plug
c) llow temperature and pressure to drop before
i) touching the unit
ii) removing your instruments
