A qualified electrician should connect the power supply through the conduit at the back of the               
autoclave. Access to the terminal block is obtained by removing the right hand side panel of the                
autoclave. The frame of the autoclave must be sufficiently earthed using the earth terminal             
locatedadjacenttotheterminalblock.

It is preferable to locate the autoclave close to a power point and recommended that double               
adaptors are not used. Check the total wattage if connecting to multipoint outlets. Check the rating               
