To ensure your autoclave gives you the years of service for which it was designed, it is important to
remember a few "do's" and "dont's" with regards to the operation of the unit and to carry out the
simple care and maintenance procedures on a weekly basis.
Do ensure that....
1...you read these instructions and always
follow the operating sequence.
2...the instruments are designed to withstand
the sterilizing temperatures selected, are
thoroughly cleaned and rinsed before
sterilizing, and are not any longer than
the length, or exceed the load weight,
specified - see "Technical data" section.
3...the water level is maintained regularly with
clean distilled or de-ionised water only.
4...the unit is in a "draft free" environment and
is positioned not less than 250mm from
adjacent walls.
5...you only use red sealing gasket (229216)
and that it is changed at the end of it's life,
if visibly damaged, or when shrinkage has
occurred. See "Fault mode-4"
6...the lid is securely closed when the unit is
not in use, to avoid the risk of accidental
damage. Never leave in position (S2).
7...you record the temperature and pressure
readings for each cycle completed, to ensure
they remain constant between cycles. Check
readings against those quoted - see
"Technical data" section.

and date of purchase when contacting
Prestige Medical or your supplier.
