Prestige MEDICAL 2100 Classic Serie Instrucciones De Funcionamiento página 7

To ensure your autoclave gives you the years of service for which it was designed, it is important to remember a few "do's" and "don't's"
with regards to the operation of the unit and to carry out simple care and maintenance procedures on a weekly basis.
Do ensure that....
1....you read these instructions and always follow the
operating sequence.
2....the work surface on which you will place the autoclave is
flat, solid and heat resistant.
3....the instruments are designed to withstand the sterilizing
temperatures selected, are thoroughly cleaned and rinsed
before sterilizing, and are not any longer than the length,
or exceed the load weight, specified - see "Technical
data" section.
4....the water level is maintained regularly with clean distilled
or deionised water only.
5....the unit is in a "draught free" environment and is
positioned not less than 250mm from adjacent walls.
6....you only use green sealing gasket (219500) and that it
is changed at the end of it's life, if visibly damaged, or
!
when shrinkage has occurred, see "Fault mode - 5".
7.....the lid is securely closed when the unit is not in use, to
avoid the risk of accidental damage. Never leave in
position as shown in F1.
8....you quote your model details, serial number and date of
purchase when contacting Prestige Medical or your

Care and Maintenance.
Green Sealing Gasket.
1. Remove from inside the lid and clean with warm, soapy water.
2. Rinse thoroughly, shake dry, do not wipe.
3. Replace in the lid by tucking evenly under all lugs starting at the
Gasket Offset Device. It may appear slightly wrinkled until used.
4. Replace gasket when it begins to show signs of leakage.
Autoclave.
1 If a new gasket leaks, or a persistent leak develops, gently clean
the sealing surface of both the lid and body of the unit with a
"Scotchbrite" scrubbing pad making sure you do not remove any
metal. Rinse both surfaces but do not dry.
2 Clean both interior and exterior with warm, soapy water ensuring
the electrical parts are kept dry.
3 Monitor the first cycle of the day to check the Air Bleed Device,
which is located inside the lid, audibly "clicks" shut.
4 Prestige Medical recommends that your unit is calibrated at six
monthly intervals.
5 Lubricate underside of body lugs with "vaseline" if the lid
becomes stiff.
DO NOT LUBRICATE GASKET
