1. Examine the outer carton and autoclave for any signs of damage. Immediately notify your
dealer or Tuttnauer USA of any signs of damage.
2. To avoid injuries, lifting and carrying should be done by two people.
• Lifting straps have been installed for your convenience. Lifting straps are for one time
use only and should be removed and discarded after initial set up.
3. Place the sterilizer on a rigid level surface. The counter top or stand must be able to
support
• 175 for the EZ9Plus
• 190 for the EZ11Plus

5. Leave a minimum 2” (50mm) space around the back and sides of the unit.
6. Make sure all the feet are on the autoclave and none of them have been lost.
7. Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear of the autoclave; then plug it into the
supply outlet.
a. The supply outlet must be a properly grounded outlet.
b. It is mandatory to have installed an earth leakage relay (GFCI outlet or GFCI
circuit breaker).
c. The voltage supplied to the autoclave must comply with the voltage requirements
stipulated on the device label ±5% (the device label is affixed to the side of the
autoclave).
d. It is recommended that the device be on a dedicatedelectrical circuit.

9. Turn on the power switch, located on the right side of the unit. A message “Set Date and
Time” will appear on the screen. (On initial set up, the date and time MUST be set to turn
on the internal clock in the unit. Failure to do this will result in a “Time Error”) To set the
date and time follow these steps:
• Use the UP and DOWN keys to change the blinking digit.
• Use the START/STOP key to move to the next digit.
• The time is displayed in the upper row in the form “HH:MM”.

• When all changes are completed, use the START/STOP key to move to SET, then use the
UP or DOWN key to set the new date and time (this needs to be done even if the
0 date and time are correct).
• When saving is completed, the main screen will appear
10. WARNING: The EZ11Plus is equipped with a pre-heat mode for the “Wrapped
Instruments, Pouches”, “Handpieces” and “Custom A” cycles. Upon initial set up after turning
on the power switch and having set the date and time, it is critical to open the door, select
the “Unwrapped Instruments” cycle and empty the chamber of all packing materials.
To do so:
• Open the door immediately after System Ready has flashed across the screen followed
by the fill reservoir icon . Now use the arrow keys on the EZPad to
advance to the “Unwrapped Instruments” cycle.
• This will turn off the pre heating mode (the EZ9Plus does not have this pre heating
feature).
11. Remove all accessories and plastic material from the chamber.
12. Fill the reservoir, using one of the two options below, with steam distilled water having the
characteristics described in sec 3.8 of the Operator’s Manual.
NOTE: The reservoir has a built in overflow. Over filling the reservoir will result in water
emptying on to the counter top under unit
Fill from the front funnel as follows:
• Open the door. (The autoclave needs to be on for the door to open).
• Pour steam distilled water, gently, into the front funnel until it reaches the top of the blue
area on the level gauge.
• If water is filled above the blue area into the red area then use the drain hose to drain off
the over fill (see sec 12.2 in the Operator’s Manual).
Fill from the opening at the top as follows:
• Remove the water reservoir cover.
• Pour steam distilled water into the reservoir through the opening on top of the autoclave
until it reaches the base of the safety valve holder or reaches the top of the blue area of
the front level gauge.
• Under no circumstance should water be filled above the safety valve holder (located in the
reservoir).
• In case more water is accidentally filled above the blue area, decrease the water level by
draining the reservoir before starting a cycle (see sec. 12.2 in Operator’s Manual).
13. Using the tray rack reinsert the trays back into the chamber. In the EZ11Plus it is normal and
necessary that the bottom tray protrude more than the other trays. DO NOT push this tray all
the way in, it will interfere with the sensors at the back of the chamber.
14. The unit is now ready to run sterilization cycles.
