The electrical system is protected against the risk of over-currents installed inside
the machine by two 15 A delayed action fuses ( T 15 A ).
The electronic control and powering boards protect the various users by means of 3
dedicated fuses: 2 quick-acting 1 A types (F 1 A) and one 100 mA delayed action
type (T 100 mA) – (see enclosed wiring diagram).
Only have these fuses changed by a skilled electrician.
The noise level of the machine has been tested. The continuous equivalent weighted
acoustic pressure level A is less than 70 dB (A) and the continuous equivalent
weighted acoustic power level A does not exceed 85 dB (A). The measured noise
level measured is therefore very low. For this reason, the operator need not take any
particular measures (also in view of the fact that the machine operates
automatically).

5. STARTING AND SETTING AT WORK
5.1 Removing the machine from the packing
The machine is consigned packed on a wooden pallet in a cardboard box: make sure that there are no
dents and that the wrapping is in optimum conditions.
The machine must be stored in a dry place, sheltered from adverse weather conditions, at a temperature
between +3°C and +35°C. The machine must be handled without jolting and using appropriate means.
Open the pack without overturning it. Remove the polystyrene from the top and sides (the weight of the
model is given in chap. 2, technical specifications).
Lift the machine out of the box in a vertical direction using the 2 hooks supplied in the bag inside the
pack. These should be inserted into the two holes at the sides of the casing (see drawing on page 11).
Remove the pluriball wrapping from around the machine and make sure that all parts of this latter are
undamaged and complete with all the accessories indicated on the consignment note. Immediately notify
our dealer if discrepancies are discovered.
Keep the packing materials for as long as the machine remains in use, not just for the warranty period.
This is because the autoclave may need to be calibrated or regulated by the manufacturer's staff of by an
after-sales center. Non-original packing is unable to ensure that the machine is correctly protected during
transport.
The original packing comprises the following items:
- BIWALL BOX IN CARDBOARD WITH 3 CORRUGATIONS
- PLURIBALL POLYETHYLENE BAG
- SHAPED POLYSTYRENE FOAM
- PALLET INSIDE THE BOX

5.2 Installation and preliminary inspections
The installer is obliged to make sure that the place in which the sterilizer is installed
is fit for that purpose (CEI 62/4).
Install the autoclave in a well ventilated place, well away from sinks, heat sources, grinders and from
all other machines.
Place the autoclave delicately on to a perfectly flat surface. Take care to leave a space of about 8-10 cm
all around the machine to allow for aeration and make sure that the internal chamber is perfectly
parallel to the ground.
Comply with the following instructions to simply and efficiently check that the machine has been
positioned correctly:
 Open the door of the machine using the handle (12).
 Remove the tray holders complete with trays.
Fit the electric plug into a socket WITH A CAPACITY OF AT LEAST 16 Ampere AND
EQUIPPED WITH AN EARTH CONNECTION. Make sure that the mains voltage rating
corresponds to the value indicated on the label at the rear of the machine (230 Volts).
FULL CLAVE must only be filled with DISTILLED WATER to ensure that the electrical and air-
operated devices operate efficiently and are long lasting.
Never connect the plug of the machine to a reduction.
Use a bubble level to make sure that the surface on which the appliance is
to be positioned is perfectly horizontal.
Fill out and send off the warranty form.

6.3 After work
After the operations have terminated, move the green main switch (17) to position 0 and open the door.
Pay particular attention to the temperature of the various components
when the machine is switched off.
Wait a few minutes to allow them to cool.
7.HOW TO ARRANGE THE INSTRUMENTS FOR
THE STERILIZING PROCESS
Before being sterilized, the instruments must be cleaned to remove blood residues, incrustations,
foreign bodies, etc. These impurities can damage the items being sterilized, the autoclave components
and prevent the sterilizing process from being correctly carried out.
These instruments must be made of NON-ferrous material since they could damage the other
instruments or the autoclave itself.
To achieve perfect sterilizing, it is therefore important to proceed in the following way:
1. Rinse and brush the instruments under running water immediately after use to remove all deposits.
2. Place the instruments in the ultrasound machine with distilled water and detergent solution if
possible.
3. Thoroughly rinse the instruments in demineralised water to prevent scaling stains.
4. Dry the instruments to eliminate all water residues which could lead to oxidation.
5. Wash, rinse and dry the supplied trays and make sure that they are perfectly clean.
6. To ensure that packaged instruments are perfectly dried, we recommend use of support art. M9050
supplied as an optional.
7. If loose instruments must be sterilized, it is advisable to cover the trays with a paper or fabric
napkin to prevent direct contact with the tray surface: do not place the instruments straight on to the
trays.
8. Scissors and forceps should be slightly opened. Mirrors and containers should be placed upside
down for the sterilizing process.
9. It is advisable to keep the instruments separated from each other to achieve a better sterilizing
action. Overloading will impair the sterilizing process.
10. If packaged instruments must be sterilized on the trays, place the packets with their transparent side
downwards and do not overlap. The packets should not be too large. Drying will be difficult if their
edges overlap.
11. The machine can operate with a maximum 3 Kg load.
Sterilizing handpieces:
 Carefully read the handpiece operation manual with particular attention to the part about sterilizing.
 Wrap the handpiece in the special sterilizing cloth.
 Place the wrapped handpiece on a NON-perforated tray to prevent spilt lubricating oil from
polluting the pipes of the autoclave.
 Proceed with a short cycle 121°C sterilizing program.
 Remember to immediately remove the handpiece from the autoclave at the end of the sterilizing
process.
For a valid sterilizing process, it is obligatory to add a chemical indicator for each cycle.

asks to load the tank of the clean water even if the still minimal level is in order. To avoid this it is
possible to demand the predisposition of the machine for the connection to the waterworks.
7.2 Notes and warnings
1- Strictly comply with the manufacturer's instructions when sterilizing materials.
2- To preserve packaged and loose sterilized materials, the trays must be stored in special cabinets
fitted with ultraviolet lamps and designed for this specific use.
3- If the articles are to be stored for a longer period, it is advisable to use our covered trays code 1474 +
2682 and tray holders code 2631 supplied on request.
4- Whenever a sterilizing process is carried out, it is advisable to add a chemical indicator that we can
supply on request, code 1468.
5- It is advisable to purchase a printer with date stamp code M 9003 to file and record the sterilizing
cycles and any faults that may have occurred.
6 - There must always be trays and tray-holders in the chamber. Without these accessories, abnormal
pressures and temperatures could develop inside and these could cause the cycle to abort.
7 - It is advisable to place a phial containing culture spores in the chamber along with each load sterilized
in order to make sure that the sterilizing process is valid.
8 - When packeted materials are sterilized, it is very important to use support art. M9050. This support
can hold up to 20 packets (max. 3 instruments per packet). To use this accessory, it is essential to remove
the support and all trays from the chamber. The non-perforated tray may only be used to sterilize turbines
(handpieces) to prevent lubricant from being spread around the chamber. Only use perforated trays to
sterilize packeted instruments and always remove non-perforated ones from the chamber. If the packets
are not perfectly dry at the end of the sterilizing process, proceed with the supplementary drying cycle
with cycle (9) “special”.

In the ON and CYCLE statuses, the system supervises the functional events that cause an alarm
status if faults occur. In the alarm status, the system issues a rhythmic sound that can be
interrupted by resetting the alarm itself.
RESET: This is done by pressing the “START/STOP” key (10). If a fatal error has occurred, the
autoclave will remain in the OFF status.
CODE 00 TRIAC ALARM (FATAL) Autotest handled by the microprocessor of the
heating system.
CODE 01 OVERTEMPERATURE ALARM (FATAL) The temperature exceeds 150°.
CODE 02 HEATING ALARM (FATAL) The gradient of the autoclave is less than the
established value during the heating phase with
indicator light (5) on.
CODE 03 INSUFFICIENT STEAM (FATAL) The parameter between temperature and pressure is
different from the preset value.
CODE 04 WATER LEVEL TOO LOW The level of the water in the fill tank (13) is less than
the minimum mark. Indicator light (8) on.
CODE 06 MAXIMUM LEVEL IN DRAIN TANK The level of the water in the drain tank (14) is at the
maximum mark. Indicator light (7) on.
CODE 07 DOOR OPEN (FATAL) The door has not been shut properly.
Cod.08 TIME OUT LEVEL STEAM
GENERATOR (FATALE)
Level staem generator not maximum down time
standard.
Cod.09 STOP MANUAL (FATALE) Cycle stopped from the operator.
CODE 10 INSUFFICIENT VACUUM (FATAL) The preset vacuum value has not been reached in the
chamber within the preset time.
CODE 11 INSUFFICIENT FRACTIONED VACUUM
(FATAL)
The preset vacuum peak is not reached in the
chamber within the preset time.
CODE 13 LEVEL PROBE ALARM (FATAL) One or more of the tank probes is/are defective.
CODE 14 PRESSURIZING ALARM (FATAL) The steam generator has failed to reach the preset
temperature gradient.
CODE 15 STERILISATION BAND EXCEEDED
(FATAL)
The sterilisation temperature band has been
exceeded.
CODE 16 STERILISATION BAND NOT REACHED
(FATAL)
The sterilisation temperature band has not been
reached
CODE 17 POWER DROP (FATAL) Power supply has been cut off.
CODE 18 TIME OUT BOILER (FATAL) The preset temperature value has not been reached
in the steam generator within the preset time.
NOTE: If the operator resets before the error message has been printed, the alarm will not
appear on the printout. Non-fatal alarms that occur at the beginning of the cycle are not printed
as the cycle is actually not started.
OTHER MESSAGES THAT APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY:
WAIT FOR STEAM GENERATOR TO HEAT: This is displayed when the machine is powered and still
cold (wait a few minutes before proceeding with the sterilizing cycle).
RELIEVE: This is displayed once the sterilizing time has terminated (the machine is relieving the
pressure from the chamber).
END OF CYCLE: This is displayed once pressure relieving and the drying time (if applicable) have
terminated (the machine can be opened and the instruments removed).
