› The sterilizer in the closed position will have both handles parallel and one above the other on either side of the stericlave.
› Put and press down the Stopcock whistle/valve on the vent tube on the lid and turn on the power.
› After few minutes steam will start generating and at 15±2 lb psi pressure the steam will come out strongly from the stopcock.
› Let the process go on and after 15minutes turn off the power and lift or pull out the Stopcock whistle/valve of the vent tube with forceps or piece of cloth.
› The whole steam will escape but it will be hot.
› Make sure that there is no steam left in the sterilizer and pressure gauge is also at Zero lb psi.
› Now open the autoclave lid by twisting it anticlockwise and lift the lid off the base chamber.
› Remove the rack/dressing drum from the autoclave and Preserve them in a safe place.
› Remove all the water from the base chamber and close the autoclave by putting the lid on it clockwise.
› Put the stopcock whistle/valve back on the vent tube for next sterilization.
HOW TO STOP LEAKAGE :
Replace the Gasket when
› It begins to show sign of leakage.
› When found visibly damaged.
› When shrinkage has occurred.
If a new gasket leaks or a persistent leaks develops
› Remove the gasket from the lid and clean the surface with some scrubbing pad 'Scotch brite' rinsed in warm soapy water.
› Also clean the surface of the base unit where gasket rests.
› Do not lubricate Gasket.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF AUTOCLAVE :
› Disconnect the Stericlave from the main power supply before cleaning.
› Ensure that no material falls into the base chamber i.e. autoclave tape, glass etc as they may affect the operation of the exhaust valves.
› Ensure that the pressure gauge is operating correctly.
› Heat the stericlave on a secure burner.
› Clean & dry the unit after the day use.
› Use Stericlave only for its intended purpose.
› Weekly clean both interior and exterior with warm, soapy water ensuring the electrical parts are kept dry.-(Incase of electric autoclave).
