Specifications

B: After sterilizing liquids:
1. Let the autoclave cool down to at least 70°C
chamber temperature.
Liquid sterilization products will boil over on
account of delayed boiling and cause serious
burns if the steam pressure is vented instead of
allowing the autoclave to cool down slowly.
Only open the autoclave, when
⇒ the chamber temperature has cooled down
to at least 70°C
⇒ the autoclave has no remaining pressure (0 bar).
2. In case of sterilizing adhesive fluids an Operating Test of
the Safety Valve is necessary before and after the ster-
ilization.(see chapter 6.2)
After a result of delayed boiling adhesive fluid can clog
up the valves. In such an event the autoclave lid must be
sent to the manufacturer so that the valves can be
checked.
Continued operation with clogged valves can result
in the explosion of the pressure vessel.
⇒Risk to Life !

C: After sterilization
WARNING: Please observe the "Safety Instructions"
and "Acceptable Risks" (Chapters 1. and 1.2), but
particularly the section "After Sterilization".
1. Do not vent the steam when sterilization has been completed
but rather allow the autoclave to cool down slowly to at least
70°C. Liquid sterilization products will boil over on account of
delayed boiling if the steam pressure is vented. In unfortu-
nate circumstances such effect can gravely scald attending
operators.
2. Consequently, as a result of the delayed boiling effect, the
autoclave must only be opened after
⇒ it has cooled down to below 70°C.
⇒ there is no remaining pressure in it (0 bar)
3. In case of sterilizing adhesive fluids an Operating Test of the
Safety Valve is necessary before and after the sterilization.
(see chapter 6.2)
After a result of delayed boiling adhesive fluid can clog up the
valves. In such an event the autoclave lid must be sent to the
manufacturer so that the valves can be checked.
Continued operation with clogged valves can result in the
explosion of the pressure vessel.
⇒ Risk to Life!
