1. INTRODUCTION
The machine described in this operation and maintenance manual is a steam sterilizer that has been
specially designed to sterilize most of the materials and instruments used in dental surgeries, doctors'
surgeries and hospitals in general.
The machine can either operate at a temperature of 134°C and a pressure of 2.1 Bar or 121°C and a
pressure of 1.1 Bar. These parameters are monitored and kept at constant levels by three mechanical
and electronic devices that ensure an optimal sterilizing process along with total safety.
The operating cycles can be monitored by means of the pressure gauge, warning lights and by the
position of the controls.
WARNING: IDENTIFIES A HEAT SOURCE. A PART COULD BE
DANGEROUSLY HOT
WARNING: IDENTIFIES A GENERIC DANGER. THERE COULD
BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION
SYMBOLS AFFIXED TO THE MACHINE
IDENTIFIES THE GROUND CONDUCTOR
Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it
has been built.
To prevent the autoclave from being subjected to electrical
disturbance, it is important to make sure that the earth resistance
value is sufficient and well coordinated with the protections in your
electrical system.
•This symbol it means the product is covered by the European
Directive 2002/96/EC.
•Please inform yourself about the local separate collection system
for electrical products.
•Please act according to your local rules and do not dispose of
your old products with your normal household waste. The
correct disposal of your old product will help prevent potential
negative consequences for the environement and human healt.

The electrical system is protected against the risk of over-currents by two 15 A 6,3x32
delayed action fuses ( T 15 A ) installed inside the machine.
Only have these fuses changed by a skilled electrician.
The machines have been designed to operate up to an altitude of 1200 mm above sea
level. Contact the manufacturer if the machine must operate at a higher altitude as
special models and/or devices may be required.
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).

3. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Regulations for the operator
Always wear personal protective equipment in compliance with the directives that establish the
current accident-preventing provisions.
Do not approach the machine with inflammable materials.
 Do not carry out repairs or maintenance work whilst the machine is operating or plugged into the
electricity main or when parts of it are hot.
 Only responsible adults may use the machine in places inaccessible to children.
 Use the machine in a dry place, sheltered from the rain.
 Periodically inspect the power cable to make sure that it is in a good condition.
 If there are several persons in the place of work, remember to keep at a safe distance from the
machine to prevent accidental contact with hot parts.
Never ever operate the appliance unless the power cable is in a perfect condition and the structure
undamaged.
It is advisable to keep the door half-open when the appliance is not in use.
 Do not move the machine when the tank is full of water.
Pay the utmost attention to those parts of the appliance that become hot
during operation and that still remain hot after it has been switched off.
Keep your face well away from the top part of the machine when the
door is opened to prevent it from being scalded by steam. Keep about 50
cm. away from the machine when opening the door.
As specified in the technical specifications, these autoclaves operate at a
pressure that can reach 2.2 Bar at most. Do not use the autoclave in an
improper way and do not carry out maintenance operations while the
sterilizing cycles are in progress. Remember that the pressure is shown
by the pressure gauge installed on the front of the machine itself.
Wait at least 20 minutes after the appliance has been switched off, to
allow the boiler to completely cool.

5. STARTING AND SETTING AT WORK
5.1 Removing the machine from the packing
The machine is consigned packed on a wooden pallet out 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 OUTSIDE THE BOX
- PACK DIMENSIONS 550x650x560 (Width x Length x height)
