The plug on the autoclave has an earth connection. Make
sure that you use an earthed socket and position the
device where it is not difficult to disconnect the plug.
If you use an extension cable, make sure that the cable

Contamination hazard warnings
The autoclave must be installed in a suitable hygienically

Clean the chamber before using the device for the
first time. The autoclave works with distilled or
demineralised water (see technical specifications in
chapter 7.1 or discribed in EN 13060 Appendix C).
The device would not work properly with any other
substance. Consult DÜRR DENTAL technical service
if an unsuitable liquid is put inside.
Do not use toxic substances during the sterilisation
process. Do not touch the contents of the discharge
tank.
Do not put substances or products that contain heavy
metals (lead, mercury, bromine, hexavalent chromium) into
the chamber. If released, these products could contaminate
the autoclave plumbing circuit and render it unusable.
NEVER REUSE WATER
Do not carry out maintenance work other than that
described in the manual.
Only put heat-resistant products that do not release
hazardous substances into the sterilisation chamber.
Always consult the manufacturer's technical specifications
to ensure that the products can be sterilised.
All items must be decontaminated and thoroughly
cleaned and dried before being sterilised.
We recommend using chemical indicators to confirm the
sterilisation process.
