Specifications

8. In case of sterilization of adhesive fluids an Operating Test
of the Safety Valve has do be made before and after the
sterilization (see chapter 6.2)
9. In case of sterilization of fluids (in open containers) we recom-
mend the use of a media sensor (see chapter 4)
WARNING: During operation:
1. An autoclave without MCS control must be con-
stantly supervised during the sterilization process. It
may be necessary to readjust the steam pressure
control valve to avoid a short-fall or transgression of
the operating pressure.
2. Inadequate venting of the autoclave prior to steriliza-
tion will result in inadequate sterilization results.
Please refer to the corresponding details in these
Operating Instructions.
3. A short-fall of the operating temperature will result in
inadequate sterilization, while an excessive operating
temperature can damage the product being steril-
ized. Consequently, it must be ensured that auto-
claves that do not feature an MCS control must
never be operated unattended.
4. The autoclave lid and walls become very hot during
operation. Contact with the autoclave in this condi-
tion can result in burns (except for the plastic han-
dles).
5. To achieve the required sterilizing effect, the sterili-
zation period for liquids must be extended by the ad-
ditional time listed in table 6 page 19.
