Introduction
Congratulations on the choice of an Australian made quality product. Labec products are manufactured,
tested and calibrated to meet published standard specifications under our strict quality assurance
guidelines.
This Instruction Manual is for the guidance of operators of Labec Autoclaves and should be read before the
autoclave is connected to the electricity supply.
It is hoped that this manual will supply all the information that the customer should require for satisfactory
operation of this product. If, however, there are any questions that remain unanswered please contact the
Service Department via the website enquiry page and include the serial number of the unit.
Unpacking
Remove all packing and protective wrapping from both interior and exterior of the autoclave. Check the
autoclave for any possible transit damage. Ensure all ordered accessories are present. If any physical
damage or shortages are evident, do not discard the packaging material until the autoclave is inspected by
the distributor, agent or manufacturer.
NOTE: All claims for shortage or damage must be made within fourteen days (14) from delivery.
Subject to our standard published conditions of sale, we have reasonable grounds to believe that we have
ensured, so far as is reasonably practical, that the products listed in our catalogue and brochures have been
designed and constructed so as to be safe and without risk to health when properly installed and used in
their environment by appropriate and trained personnel, and where applicable, in accordance with our
published instructions.
Installation
Electrical
This equipment must be tagged and tested according to AS/NZS3760:2010 prior to use and
thereafter every 6 months dependent upon the environment.
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.
Ensure Autoclave is screwed to bench at rear using attaching lugs to prevent pulling or tipping Autoclave off
bench when in use.
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 plate for power
requirements. Installation is to be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with the power
requirements of the product specifications.
