CAUTION
• Before use, thoroughly dry all parts.
• Remove the powder case cap from the powder case, and perform autoclave sterilization.
Sterilization with the powder case cap on may cause breakage of the cover.
• Autoclave sterilization together with chemical-adhering instruments will cause the plating to peel
off or affect the internal parts. Be careful so as not to allow entry of chemicals in the autoclave
sterilizer.
• Since there are cases where the set temperature may be exceeded locally near the heater in the
autoclave, never place the product near the heater.
• Do not wipe with, or clean or immerse in, high acid water or sterilizing solutions.
