Foreword
This manual has been created for the steam sterilizers Vacuklav®41 B+ and Vacuklav®43 B+. They are
identical except for their chamber depth and device depth.
The device name "steam sterilizer" is used to designate the steam sterilizers Vacuklav
B+.
You also receive a User Manual with the steam sterilizer. It contains important safety instructions and
information which you need to operate the steam sterilizer. Read the User Manual completely through in proper
sequence before beginning operation with the steam sterilizer.
This Technical Manual among other things includes suitability statements and recommendations, instructions
for setting up, installing and initial start-up of the steam sterilizer, extended technical information on the
software and hardware and other technical data. The Technical Manual is meant for interested persons and
service personnel.
