WARNING

Removal of all Cellex medium that has entered the cavity is essential to maintain proper and safe operation of the unit. If the medium reaches the heating chamber of the unit, immediately call a certified technician for removal of any suspected medium in the heat chamber. Do not place the unit into service if medium is suspected to be in the heat chamber.

INSTALLING 115 Model SLEEVE
Fold the elastic end of the sleeve over the ring.
Place sleeve through port hole. Place the ring/sleeve assembly over the sleeve extrusion on the inside of the unit.
NOTE:
Position the sleeve seam toward the top of the unit and push the ring/sleeve assembly completely onto the sleeve extrusion.
Install the inner sleeve retainer ring making certain the ring split will be toward the top of the unit.
Push the retainer ring over the ring/sleeve assembly until it is completely seated.
NOTE:
The retainer ring should fit tightly over the sleeve. If necessary, use a pair of pliers to tighten the ring in the area where it slides over the sleeve.

From the outside of the unit, reach through the sleeve and install the outer sleeve retaining ring.
NOTE:
Start installation of the outer ring at the top of the unit. As the ring is being seated, pull the area of the sleeve tight. This will aid in the prevention of excessive medium spillage and patient comfort.
