INTENDED USE - STERILIZATION CYCLE

This unit is intended to be operated intermittently.

After a pre-heat cycle, the longest period of sterilization (heating) should be a maximum of 60 min-

utes. The digital timer allows up to 99 minutes, but it should be kept at no more than 60 minutes. After each use the unit should be opened for removal and reloading of product. The water level should

be checked after each use and relled when nec-

essary.

INSTALLATION

Set sterilizer on counter, using the 6” (152mm) legs

provided or assemble the optional stainless steel stand with under-shelf. If your Sterilmatic includes a watercooled exhaust condenser, we recommend the use of the Sterilmatic stand, part number 95-6060. First,

level unit in place, then adjust rear legs to pitch the unit

forward 1/4” (6mm) to insure positive drainage of the

cylinder.

ELECTRICAL

Connect to proper electrical supply box and disconnect

switch as shown on one of the following schematic diagrams - 208 or 240 volts, single or three phase. Con-

nection is made from the rear of the unit, through the conduit to the terminal box located at the front of the unit. See installation specications on page 5.

OUTSIDE VENTING

Connect 1/2” (13mm) nominal tubing exhaust to out-

side vent connection located on top of unit, within the

control housing. IMPORTANT: Exhaust line must be

vented to the outside to eliminate the exhausted steam

and the accompanying noise from entering the room. Use 1/2” (13mm) copper tubing or suitable alternate.

The overall height and length of the line should not rise

more then 4 feet (1.2 meters) above the unit and exceed 15 feet (4.5 meters) with a minimum of bends. The line should slope downward after leaving the steril-

izer in order to insure condensate drainage.

WATER-COOLED EXHAUST CONDENSER

If outside venting is not possible, an optional watercooled condenser is available for connection to an open drain. If required order part no. 95-0436 kit.

TRAY SUPPORTS

Install side tray supports. Tray supports are attached by means of key-hole clearance slots which are slipped

over studs located on the sides of the Sterilmatic cham-

ber.

BAFFLE INSTALLATION

To insure maximum drying of packs, a bafe is supplied with your Sterilmatic. Place perforated splash bafe in bottom of the sterilizing chamber. Install small bafe with no perforation at the rear of the upper tray support

channel.

NOTE: The perforated bafe is not to be used as a

shelf to place media or other items. It is intended to eliminate splashing.

SECTION 1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING PAN SUPPORTS AND BAFFLES

Locate the mounting studs on the inside of the chamber. There are two rack mounting studs on each side

1. (see Fig. 1).

Taking one pan support and positioning rack so that the pan stop is facing the rear of the unit and the wires

are facing toward the center of the unit. The pan stop is a piece of sheet metal welded to the rack with a 65° bend.

Begin to hang the pan support by placing the rear key-way slot onto the rear mounting stud and slide the rack

until the slot sits on the mounting stud. When this is done correctly the front mounting stud will be in position

to place the front key-way slot. Slide the rack down into its correct position (see Fig 2).

After installing one pan support rack correctly, you can install the upper bafe. Position the bafe so that the

45° bend is facing up towards the front of the unit (see Fig. 3). Slide the mounting tab onto the at bend on the pan stop bracket. The bafe should now stay in place by itself, but in a tilted state (see Fig. 4).

Position the second pan support rack into the cavity and slide the other mounting tab onto the rack at bend

while the pan support rack is not on the mounting studs. Hang the pan support by placing the rear key-way slot onto the rear mounting stud and slide the rack until the slot sits on the mounting stud. When this is done correctly the front mounting stud will be in position to place the front key-way slot. Slide the rack down into

its correct position.

Place the Perforated Water Bafe so that it sits on the bottom of the inside of the sterilizer chamber (see Fig. 5).

CAUTION: Do not cover the holes in the Perforated Water Bafe by using it as a shelf. This will result in a

disrupted ow of steam.

THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY CONNECTIONS FOR STM-ED: Connect to proper electrical supply as indicated on

nameplate on top of unit. The power supply cord is brought in from the rear of the unit, through the conduit and the connection is made at the terminal box located at the front of the unit.

THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY CONNECTIONS FOR STM-EDX: Connect to proper electrical supply as indicated on

nameplate on top of unit. Connection is made from the rear of the unit, through the conduit to the terminal box located at the front of the unit. All control circuits are 220 volts.

In order to accomplish this, a current-carrying grounded neutral must be provided.

Thus, a three phase system must be 4-wires. Most electrical codes require, and we recommend, that a separate switch be located within sight of the sterilizer.

SECTION 2 WATER CONDITIONS

Market Forge from time to time is asked the question about using distilled or deionized water for use with our Sterilizer models STM-ED and STM-EDX. We are always asked why these water choices are not allowed for use with our units and what would be recommended. To address this situation, we have complied the following as a means of satisfying these questions:

We have found that the use of distilled or deionized water will aggressively attack the pure coat of Aluminum

Alclad, which protects the bottom surface from oxidizing and then eventually pitting (reference: Operating and Maintenance Instructions).

In addition pitting can also be caused by several other external environmental factors. Few examples are as

follows. These conditions have been highlighted in our documentation.

Grains of hardness in the water supply should be as follows (.25 to 2).

•

A pH imbalance in the water supply can greatly affect the life to the aluminum cylinder. The pH range that

•

would be recommended is between 7.0-8.5.

The lack of a positive electrical ground can cause an electrolytic reaction that will accelerate pitting.

•

Another contribution to accelerate pitting is the type of cleaning solutions used or the abrasive scrubbing

•

pads. If a low pH is present with the detergents being used or an abrasive pad, the protective Alclad coating will be removed during the cleaning process.

Spillage of media being sterilized can also contribute to the accelerated pitting if it is corrosive.

•

CHLORINE LEVEL ≤ 1 PPM.

•

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Market Forge will not be responsible for damage resulting from the use of hard or corrosive water, from failure to drain the unit daily, or from inadequate cleaning procedures.

Page 13

SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

IMPORTANT: Make sure the drain valve is closed.

Fill bottom of the sterilizer chamber with approxi-

mately six quarts of water or just below ledge at

bottom of door opening. (If water supply is known

to be hard or corrosive, a source of treated water should be used.) DO NOT USE DISTILLED OR DEIONIZED WATER. (See section 2)

LOAD STERILIZER: Use proper sterilizer load-

ing procedures when placing materials in sterilizer chamber. All solid containers or instruments must be placed so that water or air will not be trapped in them.

CLOSE DOOR: Grasp handle, and holding it

in vertical position, pull door down until bottom of door rests in the bottom of door opening. Then rotate handle forward, engaging the lower curved portion under the horizontal rod in the casting at the bottom of the door opening. Push handle all the way down and back until door is locked securely in position.

DETERMINE CORRECT STERILIZATION

4. TIMES: (Referring to page 11 for minimum steril-

ization times table.) NOTE: In no case should the timer be set to less than 15 minutes. Sterilization will not be accomplished in less than 15 minutes exposure time.

When the sterilizer chamber reaches the selected

temperature, the timed Heating/Sterilization cycle will begin. When the Heating/Sterilization cycle is completed, the electric supply to the heating elements will be opened (shut off) automatically. When the chamber pressure reaches 0 (zero) the door may be opened.

NOTE: Before opening the chamber door be sure to have the Control Panel Flip Cover in the ‘DOWN’ position. This protects the LCD screen from coming into contact with too much steam.

position. This will allow steam and moisture to es-

cape. Allow door to remain in this position for 15 to 20 minutes before removing load. Small packs can be dried successfully with this procedure. We do not recommend the sterilization of large packs, such as linens. Be sure condensate bafes are in position in the chamber.

Remove load and check water level for next opera-

tion.

STERILIZATION GUIDE:

PACKS (Linens, gloves, etc.): Use wire basket

•

to facilitate drying. Be sure condensate bafes are in place. Place packs on edge and arrange load in chamber, so that only minimal resistant to passage of steam through the load will exist.

NOTE: Place gloves in upper two-thirds of chamber.

•

JARS, CANISTERS (etc.): Place containers on

side to allow for displacement of air and complete

contact of steam to surfaces. Drying is also facili-

tated.

PETRI DISHES, PIPETTES, DESICCATORS

•

(etc.): Should be inverted. UTENSILS, TREATMENT TRAYS: Placed on

•

edges to facilitate drying.

INSTRUMENT SETS: Place instruments set in

•

trays having mesh or perforated bottoms. Place trays at on shelves.

COMBINING FABRICS & HARD GOODS:

•

Place hard goods on lowest shelves.

PLASTIC UTENSILS: DO NOT stack or nest

•

plastic items.

LIQUIDS: Sterilize liquids separately from other

•

supplies or materials. Set vent to slow.

SMALL ITEMS: Sterilize small items in baskets,

•

or trays.

At this point you may release the handle and let go to avoid possible contact with the remaining escaping steam. When opening the door allow a

few seconds for steam to escape from the cham-

ber before opening completely.

NOTE: For more detailed Operating Instructions please refer to Section 3 titled ‘DETAILED OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS’

To assist in drying racks, release door handle af-

ter pressure has been attained at start of cycle. Pressure in chamber will keep door closed. The use of a wire basket will provide better drying for dressings. At end of sterilizing cycle, release door handle and open slightly. Do not lift door to open

SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

B. Controller Overview

The Digital Controller is made up of the Operational Keys, Digital LCD Display and the Data Logger/Printer. The

operator can set the controller to display in either degrees Fahrenheit (°F) with pressure in PSI or in degrees Celcius (°C ) with pressure in kPa.

During operation the Digital LCD Display will show the actual temperature within the sterilizer chamber, the time

remaining for the sterilizer cycle and the vessel pressure in digital form and bar form. It will also display the current cycle state, Heating up, Timing (sterilizing) or Venting.

The three operating parameters that can be set by the operator are sterilizing Temperature, sterilizing Time

and Venting mode.

The sterilizing temperature can be set in a range from 225°F (107°C) to 250°F (121°C). The sterilizing Time can be set in Minutes and Seconds (if desired). The Venting mode can be set to FAST (approximately 3 minutes) or SLOW (approximately 11 minutes). To initiate a sterilizing cycle you need to set three parameters, Temp, Time and Venting. Or you can set com-

monly used values for these parameters into three ‘Preset’ keys. Each Preset key can store a value for all three parameters. The parameter values stored in the Preset keys can easily be selected before running a sterilization cycle. This avoids you having to set all three parameters every time you run the unit.

Each sterilization cycle records the temperature, time and pressure at one minute intervals during the heat-up

cycle, the sterilization cycle and the venting cycle. These cycles are described in more detail below. The re-

corded data can be printed out after each complete run or printed out later, on an as-needed basis.

C. Setup

Make sure unit is connected to its electrical source. Make sure unit has recommended amount of water in its chamber. Make sure unit drain is closed. If a ventilation hood is required, make sure unit is placed accordingly

under the hood.

Be sure that the unit’s door is closed and locked before operating!

Once the unit has power, push the black Control Panel Power switch to On ( I ). This will bring power to the control panel and illuminate the Digital LCD Display screen. You are now ready to use the unit.

D. Manual Programming

The rst step is to decide what form of temperature and pressure measurement you want to use, Fahrenheit and PSI or Celsius and kPa. This can be changed at any point during operation.

Setting units (°F & PSI) or (°C & kPa);

●

Press and hold the UP key and the DOWN key while simultaneously pressing and releasing the TEMP

▪

key will toggle between (°F/PSI) and (°C/kPa).

Setting Temperature

● While the unit is powered up but not in use, considered the ‘Idle State’, the temperature being displayed

▪

is the current temperature within the sterilizer chamber.

Pressing and releasing the TEMP key will display the current set-point temperature for three seconds.

SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Press and hold the TEMP key until the display goes blank and shows only the temperature. Now press the appropriate UP or DOWN key to get to desired set-point.

When the full display returns the target set-point has been set.

Press and hold the TIME key until the display goes blank except for the minutes. Now press the appropriate UP or DOWN key to reach the desired sterilization set-time minutes.

After three seconds the minutes will blank and the seconds set-point will be displayed. If you

need to set the desired seconds, again, use the appropriate UP or DOWN keys. If seconds are not required than either don’t touch any key and after three seconds the full dis-

play will come back and the TIME is now set or immediately press the TIME key again and that

will also set the time.

At any point during any cycle the VENT mode can be toggled simply by pressing and releasing the VENT key.

Starting the unit

●

Once you have set your desired TEMP, TIME and VENT type you can now proceed in starting the unit.

▪

To start unit;

▪

Press the START/CANCEL key

▫

Stopping the unit

●

Once the unit is started it will run through all 3 cycles automatically (cycles are described below) and fin-

▪

ish in the DONE state (also described below). If at any time throughout the cycle you have to stop or cancel the cycle just press and hold (for 3 seconds)

▪

the START/CANCEL key. After stopping the unit in this manner the unit will still have to go through the VENT cycle to release the

▪

pressure within the chamber before you can open the unit door.

Description of cycles;

●

HEATING cycle – Once the START/CANCEL key is pressed the unit will flash the HEATING icon while

▪

the sterilizer is heating up to the sterilization temperature set-point. While it is heating the set-point TIME is displayed and will not change.

TIMING (sterilizing) cycle – When the unit reaches its set-point temperature the unit will enter the steril-

▪

ization or TIMING cycle. At this point the unit will display and count down the sterilization time. VENTING cycle – When the timing (sterilization) cycle time reaches zero the set VENTING cycle begins.

▪

The FAST VENT is programmed to vent for 3 minutes through the solenoid valve. The SLOW VENT is

programmed to vent for 11 minutes through a bleeder orifice.

DONE state – At the completion of the VENTING cycle the unit will display DONE and a beeper will

▪

sound. The beeper sequence will be ON for 1 second and OFF for 9 seconds. This sequence will repeat

until any key on the control panel is pressed or 3 minutes have passed.

Once in the DONE state it is safe to open the chamber door. Before opening the chamber door be sure

to have the Control Panel Flip Cover in the ‘Down’ position. This protects the LCD screen from coming into contact with too much escaping steam from the chamber. When the door is left in the closed position you may notice a rise in the temperature and pressure on the LCD screen. You should open the chamber

Page 18

SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

door to allow the chamber to cool.

NOTE: There is never any harm in releasing the chamber door latch. If there is pressure inside the chamber the door cannot open due to its design which does not allow the door to open under pressure.

E. Preset Keys

There are three PRESET keys numbered 1, 2 & 3. In each key you can save set-point values for the Tempera-

ture, Time and Vent mode. For example, if you commonly need to sterilize a media that requires specic set-

point values, you can save these specic values into a PRESET key. This way you don’t need to keep setting

the Temp, Time and Venting info before each running of a sterilization cycle.

Programming PRESET Keys

● To save values into a PRESET key;

▪

Press and hold the desired PRESET key (1, 2 or 3). The display

▫

shows the values currently stored in that preset key. When the

“PRESET” icon and the preset “number” icon in the display start to

flash, the values are now ready to re-program. At this point you can change any or all of the parameters, Temp, Time, Vent as described previously.

Every three seconds without an UP or DOWN key press the display

▫

will proceed from TEMP, MINUTES, then to SECONDS waiting for

new preset set-points then exits the program preset state.

During this programming state you can advance from the Temp

▫

menu to the Time menu simply by pressing the TIME key. Likewise, while in the Time menu you can advance from Time-min-

▫

utes to Time-seconds simply by pressing the TIME key.

In addition, while in the Time menu you can go back to the Temp

▫

menu by pressing the TEMP key. At any point during this programming state you can press the appro-

▫

priate PRESET number key and that will store the new values and

exit the programming state.

Using PRESET Keys

●

While the unit is in the ‘Idle State’ simply press the appropriate PRESET key

▪

(1, 2 or 3) to use the values previously stored into that PRESET key. At this point you just need to press the START/CANCEL key.

F. Printing/Data Logger

This unit is set up to record the Time, Temperature and Pressure during all phases of the full sterilization cycle. All three of these parameters are recorded at one-minute intervals. The data logging clearly labels the printed output with headers separating

the three cycles, HEATING, STERILIZING and VENTING.

Each run is assigned a unique ID number that is printed at the top of the printout. Each unique ID number is made up of two numbers separated by a dash (-).

(Example; #237-00053)

PRINT OUT EXAMPLE 

The rst 3 digit number is a number that never changes. It is a unique number that identies the sterilizer unit itself. The last ve digits are incremented by one for every time the unit is run.

Page 19

SECTION 3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Also included at the end of each printout is the following; Example:

The DATE, OPERATOR and COMMENTS elds can be hand written in if required.

PRINT Key

● In the LCD Display, if the word PRINT is displayed then the recorded data will be automatically printed

▪

at the end of the full sterilization cycle. Likewise, if the word PRINT is not displayed then the recorded data will not be printed automatically after the full sterilization cycle completes.

To toggle between PRINT enable and PRINT disable just press and release the PRINT key. This can

▪

be performed at any time during the Heating, Timing (Sterilization) or Venting cycles.

Printing previously run cycles

●

The data logger will store approximately 20 full sterilization cycles. This number may vary slightly de-

▪

pending on how long each cycle runs. For example, the data logger can store more cycles set at 30 minutes versus cycles all set at 60 minutes.

As stated before each full cycle is assigned a unique ID number. This number can be used to scroll

▪

back through the data logger and print out the exact cycle you want to print out. There is also an option to print out ALL the previous cycles.

To print out selected cycles;

▪

Press and hold the PRINT key. The display will show the ID of the last run cycle. To scroll back

▫

through the cycles just press the DOWN key. Likewise, during the scrolling, you can hit the UP key to scroll forward through the cycles. At your selected cycle ID number just press and release the PRINT key.

To print out all the cycles;

▪

Press and hold the PRINT key. When the display shows the last run ID number keep hitting the

▫

DOWN key until the word ‘ALL’ is displayed. Now press and release the PRINT key.

▫

H. Low Water Reset

If the water inside the chamber is allowed to run dry it will trigger the Low Water Cut-off. At this point the unit will;

Shut down all three heating elements

▫

Light the red Low Water indicator light.

▫

Start the Venting cycle

▫

The Data Logger will record the error code

▫

(Note: The sterilizer’s LCD display may show the temperature and pressure rising slightly during this venting period but that is normal.)

Once the unit completes the VENTING cycle the screen will flash ‘DONE’ and display ‘SERVICE’

▫

and the Beeper will sound.

Steps to Reset the unit;

1. The LCD display now shows ‘ERR 06’ and beeper changes to a constant tone.

(Note: An explanation of Error Codes is shown below in the Appendix)

Recommended steps but not required:

Shut off ‘ON/OFF’ power switch to controller.

▪

Wait until unit cools down. Opening the unit door will help the unit to cool down quicker.

▪

When power is restored the buzzer tone will continue and ‘ERR 06’ will be displayed again.

▪

2. Open the door and add water to the chamber.

3. Once the chamber has cooled enough you can press the Low Water Cutoff RESET button. Listen for the ‘click’ sound.

4. If constant tone continues press any menu key to turn off.

5. The unit is now back in the ‘Idle State’ and ready to be run again.

SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE

DAILY CLEANING PROCEDURE (AT THE END OF EACH DAY):

Remove bottom splash bafe.

NOTE: IMPORTANT! STERILIZING CHAMBER MUST BE CLEANED AND DRAINED DAILY US- ING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE. WASH WETTED PORTION OF THE CYLINDER THOROUGHLY BY ADDING A MILD DETERGENT TO WATER IN CYLINDER.

If a soft cloth or brush is used with the detergent and does not completely remove the surface lm, a nylon

soap pad should be used. After washing thoroughly rinse with clean water. Dry cylinder* and leave door open overnight.

* The Sterilmatic cylinder is constructed of corrosion resistant Alclad aluminum alloy. The protective properties

of this material afforded to the interior portion of the cylinder which is exposed to water may be destroyed by al-

lowing a lm to form. Such a lm can be caused by salts or other contaminants in the water. Corrosion may also occur if water is not drained daily.

Page 22

SECTION 5 FIELD SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS & ASSEMBLY

STERILMATIC OPEN STAND:

Market Forge Sterilmatic Stand can be supplemented with an Optional

Stand for utility use where maxi-

mum compactness is desired.

The sturdy, stainless steel unit is

equipped with adjustable leg ex-

tensions which allow the unit to be installed and leveled over existing contours in the oor.

The open design lends itself to maximum sanitary conditions because of the ease with which periodic clean-

ing can be done.

Though simple in design and appearance, the steril-

matic stand is the ideal arrangement for mounting in that it allows secondary air to circulate.

STERILMATIC OPEN STAND WITH CONDENSER:

Market Forge can provide the open stand with an op-

tional steam condenser system for use where steam exhaustion into the room is undesirable.

The condenser is automatically controlled by the ther-

mostat. The normal factory thermostat setting is 130°F

(54°C). The open under-shelf of the stand gives added utility providing a handy tabouret for utensils and access for drainage of water from the sterilizing cham-

ber.

Door Figure 1.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT:

The Door Adjustment is Located in the Fulcrum Cast-

ing at the base of the door opening. This adjustment

employs the use of a screw and locknut in order to adjust the Sterilmatic Door to a tighter closed position (to

prevent steam from leaking by the door gasket as pressure builds up), it is necessary to loosen the locknut

and back off the screw at least one-quarter of a turn and re-tighten the locknut (see Door gure 1 shown

above & Door Figure 2 shown below).

STERILMATIC DOOR ASSEMBLY:

The Door of the Sterilmatic has been engineered to

establish a positive method of sealing the steam pres-

sure within the sterilizing cylinder. As steam pressure builds up within the cylinder, the door seal will tend to become more positive.

However, the door should be adjusted to make a good

initial seal between the door gasket and the door open-

ing without the added assistance of internal cylinder steam pressure with the simple action of securing the

door handle down in a locked position, the door gas-

ket should be sufciently compressed against the door

opening, all the way around to prevent any steam leak-

age from occurring.

- 95-0124 Items 1 through 5

THE DOOR GASKET:

Keep the gasket clean. With normal closing and lock-

ing of the door assembly, a steam-tight seal should be made between the door gasket and the door opening. This seal cannot be maintained if particles of foreign matter are allowed to accumulate upon either of the contacting surfaces.

If there is leakage by the door gasket before a steam build-up within the steam chamber and leakage does

not stop when the sterilizer reaches sterilizing tem-

perature and pressure than regard the door assembly as improperly adjusted. A re-adjustment must then be made of the seal adjustment door screw.

To change the door gasket, remove the entire door as-

sembly as a unit. Discard the old gasket, replace it with a new one (no cement is required), and reinstall the door assembly. Make an operational check for leakage and adjust the door, if necessary.

DOOR LIFT SPRING:

Market Forge supplies door lift springs in sets only. This policy has been found to be in the best interest of the

customer. Through continuous use, some of the original qualities of the springs are lost and it becomes ad-

vantageous to make replacements to both the left and right door lift springs in the event that one becomes damaged or broken.

Replacement door lift springs are marked with tabs at the factory prior to shipment to identify a right from a left spring. These springs must be installed with the right door lift spring on the right of the door and the left door lift spring on the left of the door as viewed from the front of the sterilizer.

TO REMOVE THE DOOR ASSEMBLY:

The Door Assembly can be removed from the inner sterilizing chamber as a unit without the use of any

special tools or equipment. However, a systematic ap-

proach to this is warranted as the clearances through the portal are close, and much confusion can result if not removed in the sequence described below:

First, lift off and remove the two pan supports to

expose the door linkage on either side of the inner sterilizing chamber .

Raise the door to a fully opened position, and

disengage the door spring from each of the door spring studs. Accomplish this by counteracting the force of the door lift spring with one hand while working the end of the door spring off the spring stud with the free hand. Do this on both sides of the door assembly.

When the end of the door springs have been com-

pletely freed from their respective door spring studs, the door springs on either side of the door assembly can easily be slipped off their studs.

Rotate the entire door assembly out through the

door opening, passing the door handle through the opening rst, and then one end of the door spring as shown in the illustration. The remainder of the door assembly will then pass through the door opening quite easily.

To replace the door assembly, reverse the step-by-

step procedure described above.

Page 24

SECTION 5 FIELD SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS & ASSEMBLY

THE FULCRUM & DRAIN ASSEMBLY:

The fulcrum and drain assembly is located at the lower front of the sterilizing chamber and furnishes a sturdy anchorage for the door locking system of the door handle. Also

provided in this assembly is a means for ad-

justment of the door seal. The drain port and drain valve provide a means of discharging

accumulations of water from within the steril-

izing chamber.

ROLLER ASSEMBLY (Items 8 & 9):

The Roller Assembly must be kept free-rolling at all times. Should this assembly be allowed to become frozen due to lack of lubri-

cation, undue strain will be put on the door handle and the fulcrum casting while the door is being locked. Use only a dry lubricant such as graphite; as oil or grease will tend to attract dirt to this area.

CAST-IN HEATING ELEMENTS:

Located under the sterilizing cylinder is a bank of (3) U-shaped heating elements. These elements are welded in place in a protective aluminum shield. The elements cannot be removed, and in the unlikely event that one or all fail, the complete cylinder must be replaced.

THE LOW WATER CUT-OFF (

MANUAL RESET

Fastened to a special mounting brace behind the front panel, the Low Water Cut-Off acts to shut off the complete

unit, should the water run dry. The Low Water Cut Off is factory set, to shut the unit off when the cylinder tem-

perature rises between 380o and 440° Fahrenheit.

When the Sterilmatic is turned on without water or the water has been evaporated away, the temperature of the

aluminum sterilizing cylinder will rise and by heat induction effect the Low Water Cut-Off. Its inner electrical con-

tacts will be forced open from heat expansion, thus cutting off the ow of electric current to the heating elements. With the replacement of water into the cylinder the cylinder temperature will drop and the contacts of the Low Water Cut-Off can be again closed. The unit will only restart after the manual button has been re-set.

THE SAFETY VALVE:

The Safety Valve is factory set to automatically open and exhaust excess steam from within the sterilizing cylin-

der, thereby assuring that operating pressures remain within safe limits. The lever action of the safety valve must be free to operate unrestricted at all times. If the Safety Valve should leak continually with a pressure build-up

or should it cause an interruption on a sterilizing cycle prematurely (below 124° Centigrade on the temperature gauge), it must be replaced.

THE FLUE:

The Flue serves as a protective shield for the safety valve, exhaust valve, and electrical components as well as a mounting base for the control panel. The Flue cover may be removed to allow more room for servicing the

control components.

THE EXHAUST SOLENOID VALVE: The exhaust solenoid is normally

closed. It opens at the start of heating cycle to allow cold air to escape the chamber. It closes when chamber temperature reaches 209 opens during a FAST VENT cycle.
