The cardboard packaging used for transporting the autoclave IS NOT STERILE.
The sterilizer is packed with all accessories placed inside the chamber. It is wrapped in a protective
polyethylene bag and then placed inside a cardboard box. To protect it against accidental impact, it
is also padded with polystyrene or cardboard. The box has a wooden frame as further protection
during transport.
Keep in a dry and protected area at a temperature of 5-30°C.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the original product packaging throughout the guarantee
period. You will need the packaging if the product has to be returned to the Service
Centre for repairs or replacement in the event of manufacturing defects or malfunction
(with the exception of wilful damage, negligence, failure to perform routine
maintenance or damage during transport). If you are not in possession of the original
packaging, contact Zhermack and ask for instructions (possible repackaging costs
will be charged on delivery). The customer is responsible for all costs associated with
unsuitable packaging of the product to be returned to the manufacturer. Zhermack is
not liable for faults, malfunctions or damage to the product deriving from or
consequent to the use of unsuitable packaging, or packaging not of a quality equal to
