Fill & drain water
When you install the autoclave for the first time, after turning on the switch, then The machine would displaying a lack of source water. Then you need to use the measuring cup to fill distilled water from the top say around 3000ml for the first time, next time do not fill the water too full, only near the red mark. When the machine displays the used water full, please drain waster water out in time from the front connector. Please clean the brass filter inside the chamber, or it will affect the pressure release during the sterilization. Please clean the filter together by draining the used water.

Note: Be sure to fill distilled water

1. Before filling the distilled water, you must turn on the switch of power!
2. Please fill the distilled water only after finish working!

Function description
Vacuum sterilizer is divided into the following processes:

1. preheating process;
2. the pre-vacuum and pressure-increasing process;
3. sterilizing process;
4. pressure release and vacuum drying process.
5. pressure equilibrium process:

When the drying time is reduced to zero, turn off the exhaust, only the pressure displaying 0 and the machine displaying END, means the machine has finished the sterilizing, please open the door and take the sterilized instrument out by the handle.

Maintenance and Service

1. Clean the top water tank with alcohol once a month.

2. Disinfect and clean the interior surface of the autoclave chamber monthly.

3. Replace the fuse.

4. Shut off the power.

5. Revolve the fuse base counter-clockwise by a screwdriver to bring out the melting fuse to be replaced;

6. Replace the new fuse and reset the fuse base on the original position, then use the screwdriver to fasten the base clockwise.

7. Check the correctness of the data of the new fuse replaced.

Clean the sealing ring periodically
The operator shall clean the sealing ring periodically to avoid the influence of the seal caused by the dust/dirt left due to the long period of use. Use the smooth cloth with distilled water to wipe the surface of the sealing ring or sealing cap gently. The user shall discharge the sealing ring for further cleaning or replacement if the air-leaking problem can not be resolved after the above process (The user shall discharge the sealing ring periodically for cleaning and inspection as recommended by the supplier).

The replacement work for sealing ring
Tool: One flat screwdriver (No sharp edge at the head)

1. One hand catches the lip of the sealing ring, the other hand inserts the screwdriver into the clearance between the sealing ring and the door to raise the sealing ring.
2. After raising part of the ring, you can use your hand to draw the whole ring out. Wash its groove after drawing out the ring and pay attention to see whether it’s spoiled or not in consideration of the necessity of replacement.
3. Put back the ring to the original door groove after cleaning. Most Importantly: the inset work must be done equably to the groove During the installation, the four equal points of the ring must be inserted to the groove first, later for the same work for the remaining segments of the ring. After finishing, press the sealing ring equally with the force of your hand.
4. Note: The inner circle of the ring may be raised when inserting the ring into the groove. Please press it to the groove by using the screwdriver carefully. Shut off the power and cool the autoclave sufficiently before inserting the ring to avoid scald.
5. Shut off the power before service or components’ replacement, and the service or replacement work shall be done by the technician.

Transportation and Storage

1. The preparatory work before transportation and storage: Shut off the power, draw out the plug, and cool the autoclave down.

2. Draining
   Empty the water storing tank and the cooling water collecting tank; The terminal side of the attached pipe with no connecting joint shall be inserted into the water exiting joint pipe. As the above picture shows, B is the water exiting the mouth of the cooling water collecting tank, A is the water exiting the mouth of the water storing tank. Revolving the water exit button in an anticlockwise direction to release the water.

3. The autoclave shall be transferred and stored with the below conditions:

• Ambiance temperature: -40ºC -+55ºC
• Relative humidity: ＜ 85%
• Atmospheric pressure: 500HPA-1060HPA

Note: Don’t drag or drop during transportation.

Attention

1. The autoclave must be placed on the horizontal working base.
2. Must use distilled water to last the operation life of the autoclave.
3. There shall be no clog to the air cooling window on the outer surface of the autoclave.
4. The object apparatus to be sterilized shall be placed on the device plate with enough clearance retained in favor of the air circulation inside the sterilizing room.
5. Empty the water inside the cooling water collecting tank frequently. Usually, the cooling water collecting tank shall be emptied once the water storing tank is emptied.
6. The door handle must be buttoned up before working.
7. Don’t open the door of the autoclave before seeing the “0” bar displayed on the pressure indicator.
8. Not be too close to the door of the autoclave in case of scald when opening the door.
9. Shut off the power before discharging/installing the sealing ring, and the work shall be carried out after further sufficient cooling in case of scald.
10. Don’t drag or drop the autoclave during the relocation period of the autoclave.
11. The protecting ground shall be reliable.
12. Equipment must be used away from the magnetic field.
13. The device’s end of life must be for processing scrapped under the local environmental protection laws and regulations.
14. Such as power failure occurs during the working, needs to be disinfected the equipment out, it must be open the door 2 minutes later.
