4. Operation

Insert the power plug on the back into the proper jack following the instruction attached. Make sure the power
jack has a ground wire. When the power is on, the blue light in the front of the mainframe will become bright.

Press the power switch on the right side of the instrument. As the heating indicator light in the front turns red, the
instrument is on. Adjust graduation mark on the temperature knob rightwards to the horizontal position, and then in
12 minutes, the heated antrum can reach 850℃. The temperature can be freely adjusted with the knob. The
maximum sterilizing temperature is 930℃. As the instrument reaches its maximum temperature, the sterilization can
be finished in two seconds. And the sterilizing temperature of 820℃ is in common use, in which it takes only five
seconds to finish sterilization.

When conducting sterilization, please slowly and lightly insert the articles like inoculation loops/ needles, mouths of
bottles and pipes etc. Be cautious to avoid the scraping of the inner surface of the heated antrum. And when
sterilizing inoculation loops/ needles, please insert them to the back of the heated antrum to avoid splash
pollution.

It is strongly recommended that the instrument should work for no more than three hours in the highest temperature
(850-930℃). If fiery bright light is found in the heated antrum, it indicates that the temperature is too high. Please
lower the temperature to a proper extent.

Turn off the instrument when the sterilization is finished.
5. Maintenance

Avoid scraping with sharp objects on the inner surface of heating antrum.

Periodically check whether there are scratches and accumulated wastes on the inner surface of the heating antrum.

If flaws are found in the heating antrum, please replace it in time.

Wipe the surface with a cloth wrung out from gentle detergents. To avoid short circuiting the instrument, be
cautious not to use a dripping cloth when cleaning the surrounding of the heater.

If the blue and red indicator lights don't turn bright when the power is on and the switch is turned on, probably the
fuse has blown. Please replace it with the same specification and try starting the instrument again. If it still doesn't
work, please contact your local distributor.
