3. Caution for sterilization preparation phase.

Make sure the chamber is cleaned.

Make sure to check the drain valve in board room is at locked position (refer to board room page ⓖ)

Make sure that the steam trap bottle at the rear of product is empty before operation.
ㆍ Usually one third of cooling water in that bottle is optimal for operation but without changing cooling
water at every time will lower its main function. Therefore, keep the trap empty after use.

Make sure distilled water is right above the water level sensor cover.
ㆍ Consumption of distilled water is different based on sterilization sample and its process. Therefore
checking the distilled water up to the water level sensor cover is required at every time.

Make sure that pressure release valve is locked at the front side of product (refer to page 11 ⓔ).
Clockwise is to lock the valve. If it is not locked properly in operation, pressure will not fill up the chamber
in which will cause the temperature not going to sterilization level and the damage to heater and other
parts.

You are kindly required to keep the distance from the product during process.

----------------------------- -----------------------------
Warning

5. Caution for sterilization completion phase.

Make sure that pressure gauge gets to zero and temp. is below 60’C for door open.
ㆍ Pressure gauge zero means that there is no pressure in chamber and a sign of ok for door open that
will not cause a damage by at least pressure.
ㆍ In case of below 100’C where the below boiling point is, steam occurs anyway but that much still carries
hot temperature so be careful otherwise it gets user burned.
ㆍ Temp. 60’C means that it is highest temp. for door open. But it does not mean it is safe temp. for that.
Therefore, be careful when you open the door at around 60’C.

Make sure to use the handle and turn it to the end for open.
When close the door, turn it to the end where the bottom of door sticks to the upper body of product so
that there is no leakage of pressure from the chamber.

ㆍ If it is no proper door open or close as above advise, it will cause a damage to the gasket of door.
Damaged gasket will cause a pressure leakage and a failure of sterilization.

Be careful to get the basket after door open. It still carries hot heat.
