Elara11 Autoclave Quick Installation Guide
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 275lbs
4. The minimum depth of the counter top needs to be 24 inches.
5. It is mandatory to leave a minimum of 2” clearance between the back of the Elara11 and
the wall. If located in a cabinet, the rear panel of the cabinet must be removed for proper
air circulation. Failure to provide the needed clearance will result in failed cycles.
6. Side clearances should be a minimum of 2”.
7. Make sure all the feet are on the autoclave and none of them have been lost.
8. Connect the power cord to the socket on the rear of the autoclave; then plug it into the
supply outlet.
a. This unit requires a 230 volt 1 or 2 phase 15A supply.
b. The acceptable operating voltage range is 220 to 235 volts.
c. The installation of a Buck/Boost transformer (0.5KVA) may be required to meet the
acceptable operating voltage.
d. The supply outlet must be a properly grounded outlet.
e. It is mandatory to have installed an earth leakage relay (GFCI outlet or GFCI circuit
breaker).
f. It is recommended that the device be on a dedicated electrical circuit.

a. The power is off
b. The Elara11 is running a cycle and the cycle has not completed.
c. An error occurs (this is cleared by pressing the STOP key)
10. 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”.
• The time is in a 24 hour format (i.e. 2:30PM = 14:30)

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 date
and time are correct).
• The machine will reboot, when saving is completed, the main screen will appear
11. WARNING: The Elara11 is equipped with a pre-heat mode for the chamber. 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 “Vacuum Test” 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 and the jacket temperature icon and the generator
pressure icon . The door can be opened by following these steps:
• Place your thumb on the plastic door cover and the other fingers in the handle pocket.
• Pull the handle until the latch of the door is released.
• Now use the arrow keys on the EZPad to advance to the “Vacuum Test” cycle.
• This will turn off the pre heating mode
12. Remove all accessories and plastic material from the chamber.
13. Fill the reservoir, using one of the two options below, with steam distilled water having
the characteristics described in sec 1.18 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 10.4 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. 10.4 in Operator’s Manual).
Using the tray rack reinsert the trays back into the chamber. In the Elara 11 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.
The unit is now ready to run sterilization cycles.
