Tuttnauer EZ9Plus User manual

“Operating”
EZ9Plus & EZ11Plus
Instructions on:

Step 1
Turn the unit on by setting
the rocker switch mounted
on the right side of the
front panel to the “On”
position.
NOTE: The EZ11Plus has an automatic pre-heating mode which activates automatically in the “Wrapped Instruments,
Pouches”, “Handpieces”, and “Custom A” cycles. Use caution since pre-heating will make the bottom of the chamber hot.
(This feature is not active in the EZ9Plus.)

Step 2
Open the door when
“System Ready” is
displayed on the screen

Step 3
•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.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with an electronic door lock. The door will not open when the sterilizer
is running a cycle, when the power is off, or when the display screen does not read “System Ready”.

Step 4
•Fill the reservoir by pouring steam distilled
water, gently, into the front funnel until it
reaches the top of the blue area on the
level gauge.
•This reservoir is designed with an overflow
and filling the reservoir above the safe
level as indicated on the Front Fill Funnel
will cause excess water to spill out below
the machine onto the counter

Step 5
Select a program to run by
using the “UP” or “DOWN”
arrow keys.
(Programs can only be selected when the door is open.)
