1.4.- INSTALLATION 
The 21E has been tried and tested before reaching you. Therefore you do not need to adjust it before you install it or start to use it.
Bring it close to where it is going to be definitively installed before unpacking it.
Once you have unpacked the appliance, bear in mind the following points to make sure it works safely and correctly.
•When handling the unpacked appliance, hold it by the metal base and keep it as far as possible in a horizontal position. Given the steriliser’s size and weight, this operation should be carried out by at least two people.
•The steriliser should rest on a flat surface capable of withstanding a weight of 75 kg and keeping it stable.
•Level the chamber by adjusting the 4 threaded feet. For best results, the appliance should be slightly inclined towards the rear.
•Leave a space of at least 10 cm on either side of the appliance to ensure it is properly ventilated.
•Install the steriliser in a well ventilated place.
•Do not install the steriliser anywhere near explosive gases or liquids that might splash it.
•Make sure the mains lead, once installed, is neither bent nor deformed in any way.
