Sterident 200 User manual

THERMOMETER & THERMOSTAT
The bi-metal thermostat is used to adjust the temperature of the sterilizer. The
glass thermometer on the front of the unit indicates the sterilizer’s chamber
temperature.
PILOT LIGHTS
The sterilizer has two (2) pilot lights. The left light will be on as long as the time
switch is in the “ON” position. The right light is on only while the heating elements
are operating and heating the sterilization chamber.
REPLACEMENT FUSES
Models 200 & 300: Slow Blow type, rated 10A, 250V Models 200 & 300
(230V): Slow Blow type, rated 5A, 250V
The fuse is located on the right side of the unit, next to the power cord.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the inside and outside of the sterilizer with a stainless steel cleaner at least
once a month. We recommend Cleaning Kit #201009. When cleaning the inside of
the chamber, spray cleaner on cloth first and avoid contact with heating elements.
Use a wet cloth to wipe away any cleaner residue and then follow with a dry cloth
to wipe dry.
Replace the inner door gasket once a year, or sooner if it becomes loose. Order
gasket # 201108 for Model 200 or #301108 for Model 300. Replace the thermostat if
the temperature control becomes erratic or every 3 years. Order part #201032 for
Model 200 or part #301032 for Model 300.
ENVIRONMENTALCONDITIONS
The Steri-Dent sterilizer is designed for indoor use with the following conditions:
•Temperature Range of 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)
•Maximum Relative Humidity of 80% up to 31°C (88°F).
Decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C (104°F).
•Pollution Degree 2 applies in accordance with IE 664.
•Transient Over-voltage Category II applies.
•Supply voltage not to fluctuate more than 10% (+/-12V at 120V, +/-22V at 220V)
•Maximum altitude of 2000 m (6562 ft).
Steri-Dent sterilizers are the result of a design that has been in use for many
years by dentists, hospitals, and the U.S. armed forces. This design has been
refined and improved over the years to make it safe and simple to operate, easy
to use, and low in cost to operate. It is user friendly and very reliable, but
requires the operator to choose the proper loading, temperature and time
settings to ensure complete sterilization.

surfaces.
6. An extension cord should not be used with this unit. The unit should be
plugged directly into a power outlet. Only use a properly grounded
fuse/breaker protected outlet (115V, 50/60 cycles or a 220/240V, 50 cycles).
A separate circuit is recommended.
7. To protect against electrical shock hazard, do not immerse this appliance
in water or other liquids.
8. Toavoid electrical shock hazard, do not disassemble this appliance. No user
serviceable parts inside. Call a qualified service technician when service or

STERILIZER PROCEDURE
Prepare all instruments for sterilization by using an ultrasonic cleaner, as
recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Thoroughly rinse the instruments and pat dry with a paper towel. The CDC
recommends bagging the instruments prior to sterilizing. Sterilization bags
specific to dry heat sterilization must be used. Bags are available from Steri-
Dent.
Instruments should be placed in a single
layer and distributed evenly on the
sterilizer’s trays. Instruments should not
touch each other. Load instruments into
sterilizer and pre-heat to temperature
indicated in the TIME/TEMPERATURE
chart. Run the sterilization cycle for the
length of time indicated.
NOTE: Allow time for instruments to reach operating temperature before starting
the time cycle.

Steri-Dent Dry Heat Sterilizers* are intended for indoor use in hospitals and dental,
orthodontic and health care facilities. They come equipped with a mechanical
automatic timer, bi-metal thermostat, and thermometer.
MECHANICAL AUTOMATIC TIMER
The timer serves as the ON/OFF switch for the sterilizer. To activate the timer and
turn the sterilizer on, turn the knob clockwise (right) past the number “10”. The
timer can then be set for the desired time as indicated on the calibrated scale dial.
Toset the timer for continuous operation or “warm up”, turn the knob counter
clockwise (left) to the “HOLD” position. CAUTION: The sterilizer will remain on
until it has been manually turned off or set for a timed sterilization cycle.
STERILIZER SET UP (First time only)
Before using the sterilizer for the FIRST time, the thermostat setting must be
checked to ensure the sterilizer will operate at the proper temperature. For 320°F
(160°C), verify the number “7” on the thermostat dial is lined up with the black
marking dot located on the right side of the sterilizer. Set the timer to “HOLD”
position.
After approximately 45 minutes, check the thermometer. It should read between
320°F (160°C) and 330°F (165°C). If not, adjust the thermostat dial and wait
approximately 15 minutes for the temperature to change. NOTE: The thermostat
dial is very sensitive. Decreasing the dial by 1 will drop the temperature
approximately 15°F. Continue to adjust the thermostat as needed until the
thermometer reads between 320 Degrees F (160 Degrees C) and 330 Degrees F
(165 Degrees C). Temperatures may vary during initial heat-up period.
*Steri-Dent sterilizers are non-patient care equipment.
