Introduction
High-pressure steam autoclaves use electric heating to generate pressurized steam for sterilization. Key components include a sealable chamber, pressure gauge, exhaust valve, safety valve, and heating element.
Pre-Operation
Pre-wash the system after inactivity. Install per user manual with correct pipeline connections.
During Operation
Confirm correct settings before starting. Drain waste promptly. Clean surfaces with neutral cleaner. Keep rails clean and dry. Use the reset button to stop, never force manually.
Safety Rules
Ensure proper grounding. Place in ventilated dry area. Never remove safety valve seals. Do not exceed 80 percent capacity. Avoid seal ring oil contact. Leave gaps between items. Wait for gauge reading zero before opening. Calibrate regularly. Check safety valve and seal ring.
Program Settings
The liquid program runs at 121 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes at 120-140 KPA. The standard program runs at 134 degrees Celsius for 8 minutes at 220-240 KPA. Select correct program based on item type.
Routine Care
Check circuits and water level. Replace water weekly. If not used daily, run standard cycle to clear chamber. Wipe equipment after use. Clean the water filter regularly.
Conclusion
Consistent maintenance ensures reliable performance and extends equipment service life.
