1. Important Safety Instructions
In order to clearly indicate the extent of the harm, loss or damage which may result from falling
to heed these precautions and the degree of their urgency, the precaution have been classified
into the three categories of Danger, Warning and Caution.
Danger:
This indicates an imminently hazardous situation arising from the mishandling
or mis-operation of the unit which, if not avoided, might cause the death or
serious injury of the operator or other persons.
Warning: This indicates a potentially hazardous situation arising form the mishandling
or mis-operation of the unit which, if not avoided, might cause the death or
serious injury of the operator or other persons.
Caution: This indicates a potentially hazardous situation arising form the mishandling
or mis-operation of the unit which, if not avoided, may cause the minor injury
of the operator or other persons and property damage.
Caution: Please install, operate and maintain the sterilizer in accordance with this
Instruction Manual. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or damage to the
unit.
Warning: The outer casing and metal surfaces of the sterilizer will be hot during operation,
please do not touch it.
Warning: Steam and hot water will be present when opening the door after a sterilizer cycle.
Avoid contact.
Warning: DO NOT place alcohol or other flammable items in the sterilizer. An explosion
could occur, causing personal injury.
Warning: DO NOT place any objects on the top of the sterilizer.
Warning: It will require at least two (2) or more people to carry the sterilizer to avoid
dropping it off by mistake.
Warning: Always check the pressure gauge before opening the door. DO NOT attempt to
open the door if the pressure is not at zero (0).
Warning: Use only distilled water. Normal tap water contains minerals, especially chlorides,
which have corrosive effects on stainless steel. Failure to use distilled water will
invalidate the warranty.
Warning: Always allow a minimum of 20 minutes between each sterilization cycle.
