6.2 Operating Test of Safety-Valve
Table 4: Safety-Valve
Start of the Test:
•Turn the knurled-screw
in counter- clockwise
direction
•After an evident audi-
ble crack stop turning
of the knurled-screw
•Now turn the knurled-
screw in clockwise-
direction back to start
position.
The audible crack while
turning the knurled-screw signals the functioning of the safety-
valve.
If during the test the crack is not audible, the safety-valve is
out of order.
In this case the safety-valve has to be replaced unconditional
before the next use of the sterilizer.
WARNING: ACleaning or Repair of the safety-valve
can only be made by the manufacturer.
Any change or manipulation at the safety-valve, except the op-
erating test, can be followed by a damage of the equipment or
in case to Explosion of the pressure chamber.
⇒DANGER TO LIFE !

2. Preheating and after-heating temperature
Preheating: If the media sensor has been activated while
the „F“ key (start key) has not been de-
pressed, the autoclave is preheated to an
„operating readiness“ temperature of 60°C.
After-heating: After sterilization the autoclave is cooled
down to 60°C, when the media sensor
remains activated. This temperature is
maintained until the autoclave is switched off
so that nutrient media can be further
processed.
5 Optional extras: Port for Documentation
The port for documentation of the sterilization cyclus only works
together with the MCS-processor.
It allows the transfer and documentation of sterilizationprocess
on an external PC.
6 Maintenance and Care
WARNING: It is imperative that maintenance and care
are completed according to the following table to pre-
vent damage and injury and to achieve the required
sterilization result.

7. The autoclave is heated up to the entered setpoint tem-
perature. A flashing dot at the bottom right-hand side of the
display indicates when the sterilization time has started.
CAUTION: Renewed depression of the "F" key will abort the
process.
8. The heating system is switched off when the sterilization
time has elapsed, and the autoclave cools down. been The
cooling down process can be accelerated when solids have
sterilized by slightly opening the exhaust steam valve
(WARNING: Not with liquids ⇒The autoclave is heated up
to the entered setpoint tem delayed boiling!).When the dis-
play shows ENDE the sterilization is ready. When you press
the button Fthe display shows the chamber temperature
again.

1.1 Explanation of symbols
DANGER: This symbol draws attention to a dan-
gerous electrical voltage. Non-observance through
direct or indirect contact can result in serious injury
and even death!
WARNING: This symbol draws attention to a dan-
gerous situation (location). Before the device is op-
erated it is imperative that these operating instruc-
tions are read and understood completely.
1.2 Acceptable risk
DANGER:
1. Removal of the control housing gives rise to the
danger of direct contact with live parts of the de-
vice.
2. Only qualified personnel are allowed to open the
control housing when the device is disconnected.
3. The autoclaves with electrical heater must only be
connected to an earthed, shock-proof socket con-
forming with the requisite safety requirements.
