Place items that tend to held water properly to avoid condensation. Itis preferred to place items requiring the same amount of sterilization time in the same location and sterize them together. Avoid placing metal items on top of other cloth items, or mixing them among cloth items, ‘When sterilizing tems that are sensitive to temperature and vacuum, operators should be fully familiar with the functions and characteristics of the sterilizers and items to be sterilized. Use metal cans with 2 lid to hold dressings, sponges or similar items. Do not seal the opening of can during steriization, {Instrument Packs: ‘a. Canbe placed horizontally on porous packs or mesh trays. b. The pols or trays should be standing sideways with the opening facing downward to feciltate discharge of condensed water. Piastic packages and packages with tear-away openings should be arrayed neatly in a mesh basket. Items to be sterilized should not be tightly stuffed. There should be a 2em or tinch distance between two packs. For the setting of sterilization temperature/time and the drying time for the sterilizer, (please refer to the Specification Table for TC Series on Page 6 for the model of the machine you have purchased and make the settings accordingly.) 1132Safety Notice ‘The sterilizer will generate a high temperature over 100°C during operation. tis strty prohibited to touch the sterilizer with unprotected hands or body while the sterilizer ie operating. Please have tachnicians with a license on the operation of pressure vessels ox boilers teach new slaif how lo operate and use the equipment, to avoid any possible accidents during the operation ‘of equipment. Refer to Page 20 for the Reference Figure for Touchable and Non-Touchable Areas of A Steriizer During Operation, and check the distribution of high temperature generated by the sterlizer during operation, which divided into two kinds of area, area that can be touched by hands and the area that cannot be touched by hands. It helps operators prevent from getting scalded during operation. Based on the different models and diflerent inside capacities, the maximum default operating pressure is set between 2.2 kg/em2 and 2.4 kg/em2£0. 1kg/cm2, and the maximum default operating temperature is set at 132°C or 134°C $2°C, (Please refer to the Specification Table for TC Series on Page 6 according to your model.) Bofore adding water, please pay special attention to whether the pressure and steam in the inner and outer chamber have been completely released, and whether the pressure gauges of the Inner and outer chamber have completely initialized or not. Make sure there is no pressure and steam in the inner and outer chamber before opening the water supply valve, to prevent from accidents caused by steam and hot water ejection. Before operating the sterilizer, please make sure thatthe water level remains between the lines of max ‘water levels (Must nol exesed the max water level). Before operating the sterilizer, please make sure that pressures in the inner and outer chamber Initialize, and the temperature meets the current room temperature. Betore opening the door cover, make sure that there is no pressure in the inner chamber. ‘The door cover is equipped with the safety pressure lock. When pressure in the inner chamber is greater than 0.2 kglem2, the safety pressure lock will be automatically locked, to keep the sterilizer door from being opened. To open the sterilizer door, pressure in the inner chamber needs to be released to below 0.2 kglom?, Protection Device: with insufficient water, the control box will sound alarms and the power of, sensor will be automatically disconnected to avoid accidents and damages caused by the dry-out of heating tube, and protect and extend the life span of the heating tube!! When water is added to the sterlizer, and the water level rises to reach the minimum operating requirement, the alarm will stop. Please continue to add water to the red line on glass pipe which indicates the maximum of water level. Press the green power switch to “ON” to reactivate the sterilization process. 1413210. 1 If power is disrupted for any reason while the sterlizer performs sterlization, please reactivate the sterilization process after power recovers. Aer the sterilizer completes the whole sterilization process, the control system will sound alarm ‘to alert operators that the sterilization process is completed. During downtime or operation, please DO NOT knock or strike the water level glass pipe of the sterilizer. In the event that the water level glass pips found damaged or with cracks, you ‘should stop using the sterilizer immediately and only use it again after the water level glass pipe is replaced with qualified new one. 45032.py. Warning Items Please use filtered clean "soft water" as sterilization water. Do not use tap water because scale and minerals produced by water of inferior quality will lead to clogged piping. heating tube covered with scale will also consume excessive power and have inferior heating performance. When the water level sensor cannot function normally as a result of excessive scale, it will correspondingly lead to dry-out and buming down of the heating tube or even serious damage to the sterilizer. Therefore, providing the steriizer with distilled water and soft water can not only ‘ensure good sterilization performance, but also extend the lifespan of the sterilzer and individual parts, tls clean, safe, and efficent! ‘Although the water quality of RO water is clean, when itis used as sterlization medium, it wil perform inferior transmission detection efficiency during the operation of the water level sensing system of sterlizer. Therefore, itis suggested to add ‘soft water” as sterilization water. itis stritly prohibited to use water of inferior quality without being purified and softened in the sterlizer (including tap water). Any damage to the steriizer as @ resull of using water of inferior quality is not covered under the warranty of the manufacturer and distributor!! DO NOT use weak acids and alkalis, or strong acids and alkalis, among other unknown chemical solutions to assist with sterilization. If items to be sterilized are liquids that can be sterlized or Patri-dishes, please fil the containers with adequate amount so that leakages do not happen during sterilization to contaminate the body of inner chamber. Based on the diferent models end different internal loading capacities, the maximum default operating pressure is set between 2.2 kg/om2 and 2.4 kglem240.tkgicm2. (Please refer to the ‘Specification Table for TC Series on Page 6 according to your model.) Each sterilizer is optimized before it left factory. Ordinary operators are prohibited to adjust any parameter defaulis. Only well-trained eligible and professional technicians can do the adjustment. Any arbitrarily adjustment to the parameter defaults will have a decisive influence on the quality of sterilization. Therefore, please be cautious! 4. The safely valve features depressurization protection function, and is the last safety resort for the slerlizer. When the pressure of an operating sterilizer exceeds the default velue (Refer to the Specification Table for TC Series on Page 6 according to your model) and reaches 2.5 kglcm2, a functioning safety valve will automatically discharge steam and releases pressure (The default pressure release valve for the safely valve is 2.5 kg/cm2, The label on the safety valve clearly shows the diameter of the opening and the pressure value for discharge). When the safety valve starts to release steam and pressure, it may indicate the fallure of the electric control system. The power should be shut down immediately and stop operation, and the manufacturer or the distributor shall be contacted immediately in order for them to send a technician to inspect and repair the machine. rie5.
