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

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

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.
It is preferable to locate the autoclave close to a power point and recommended that double

plate for power requirements. Installation is to be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance
with the power requirements of the product specifications.
