CLEANING
When you are done using your sterilizer, you
need to empty the water from the unit, rinse
thoroughly and dry completely. This procedure
needs to be done daily. Do not leave water in the
unit overnight. Rinse thoroughly between water
changes. Store your sterilizer in a dry area. On
your next use, fill the sterilizer with clean distilled
water. Distilled water is the recommended water.
If distilled water is not available, then you may
use your local water. If your local water supply
contains lime or high levels of minerals, the unit
will require periodic cleaning to remove and Control Valve

IMPORTANT STERILIZATION FACTS
Steam is an ideal sterilizing agent because it kills
microbes quickly. A large volume of steam
condenses to a very small amount of water and
more steam is drawn to replace it. This causes
excellent penetration of fabrics, papers and
certain plastics.

It is essential that this and any steam sterilizer be

regularly checked for proper steam penetration
throughout the entire chamber of the sterilizer.
We recommend using steam sterilization
indicator strips that may be purchased at many
medical supply retailers. Place the indicator strip
in every load to ensure that adequate steam
penetration is present in the load thereby
assuring a successful sterilization cycle. A melt
indicator in a small glass vial is another
acceptable way to determine temperature and
steam penetration during the cycle. For more
information on steam sterilization we recommend
going to the Center for Disease Control
http://www.cdc.gov/.

PRESSURE GAUGE
ACCURACY
The gauges are rated as having an accuracy of
3%-2%-3%. This designates plus or minus 3%
of the full span for the first and last quarter of the
dial and 2% for the middle of the dial.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Question: I am having trouble passing a spore
test, what am I doing wrong?

Answer: Most likely you are not properly venting

all the air out of the chamber before you start timing
your cycle. Always vent the chamber using the Part
65K Control Valve as outlined in No. 10 of the
operating instructions.
