1.1. GENERAL WARNINGS

This manual explains the instructions for the following areas regarding the QUAZ autoclave:
• Installation
• Use
• Maintenance
The autoclave is destined to the healthcare professional.
The purpose of this steam autoclave is to carry out 'B' class sterilisation cycles (in
accordance with standard EN 13060:2004+A2:2010) for all kinds of products: wrapped and
no wrapped, solids, hollow loads type A and porous products.
All the sterilisation cycles carried out in the QUAZ autoclave comply with the requirements
for 'B' class sterilisation, in accordance with standard EN 13060:2004+A2:2010, therefore
any kind of load will be sterilised properly.
The autoclave should be used as described in this manual and not following any other
procedure. It should not be used in any other way or for any other product other than what
is described in this manual. The user may compromise safety by using the appliance in a
way that is not specified by the manufacturer.
The user is responsible for a correct installation, good maintenance and a proper use of the
appliance according to this manual.
The manufacturer is not liable for any faults or damages on the autoclave due to misuse or
faulty maintenance.
Any repair or replacement of parts should be carried out by the authorised technical
support, except for the procedures described in this manual that are part of regular
maintenance carried out by the user. In both cases original replacement parts should always
be used.
Repair and maintenance should always be carried out with the equipment switched off and
disconnected from the power supply.
The autoclave should not be used in a place where there are gases or explosive vapours.

Do not pour liquid on the appliance.
Do not remove the identification or safety labels.
Always use the instrument provided to remove the trays from inside, because after every
sterilisation cycle certain parts of the autoclave will be hot, such as the trays, container,
door and closing system.
Before the sterilisation process, always check that the products placed inside tolerate the
temperature and pressure of the sterilisation cycle that is going to be used (follow the
recommendations of the products' manufacturer).
Always use distilled or demineralised water that fulfils the requirements in Annex 9.2. If
running water or water that does not fulfil these requirements is used, the life of the
appliance will be shortened considerably and it will not be covered by the warranty.
The safety valve is a protection element. It switches on in very extreme situations. If this
happens, the autoclave may let off steam at the back, so the part where the safety valve
is located should be away from people.
To never connect a demineralizator of water to Quaz which is not approved by SATELEC
ACTEON GROUP or which does not respect the Quaz specifications.
Always cut the water off from the demineralizator or the general water input whenever the
dental practice is closed or not being used.
The symbols that are used have the following meaning:
Warning: see accompanying documents
Warning: high temperature
Earth connection
Do not throw in domestic bins. Electrical /electronic equipment waste (See
Annex 9.5).
