Specifications
WARNING: Transport and installation:
1. Ensure that the room is well illuminated (at least 300
Lug). Incorrectly read measured values can result in
damage to the sterilization product or inadequate re-
sults.
2. To avoid damage due to radiated heat, autoclaves of
the KL and TKL series must be spaced by at least
0.5 m from heat sensitive walls. The base must be
heat-proof.
3. Unsuitable (sensitive to heat) wall panelling can be
damaged in the event of uncontrolled emission of hot
steam. We recommend the use of our condense
collecting container (see Chapter 3 "Accessories").
4. There is a danger of autoclaves toppling over if
they are placed on a sloping or soft base.
5. The risk of short circuits is greatly increased if mois-
ture-sensitive devices (PC, meters, etc.) are set up in
the same room as the autoclaves.
6. The vapours of aggressive media (e.g. acids, lees,
various solvents, etc.) can corrode the autoclaves.

1. Fill the vessel with at least 1½ litre of water, but never more
than ¾ of the specified maximum vessel volume. The auto-
clave must never run dry.
2. Charge and close the autoclave in the manner described in
Chapters 2.6.1-1.
3. Open the exhaust steam valve right up to its stop point to
ensure proper venting during the heating-up stage. The
autoclave can now be switched on with its mains switch.
4. Setting the sterilization temperature ("C" key) and time ("D"
key): Press the given setpoint key (see fig. 1) and adjust the
required value with the edit keys. The actual temperature is
displayed after the settings have been completed.
5. Start the sterilization process by pressing the "F" key.
WARNING: Renewed depression of the "F" key terminates
the sterilization process (e.g. in the event of an incorrect en-
try).
B: During operation
WARNING: Please observe the "Safety Instructions"
and "Acceptable Risks" (Chapters 1. and 1.2), but
particularly the section "During Operation".
6. The autoclave is adequately vented when a strong jet
steamis emitted by the pressure control valve (approx. 4
minutes at 99-100°C thermometer display). Close the
exhaust steam valve.
