1.2 Product safety and dangers
The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured using
high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They contain the
latest technology and comply with recognised technical safety regulations. However, there are
still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended. These are described below.
Warning!
After removing covers, live parts may be exposed. You may receive
an electric shock if you touch these parts. Disconnect the mains plug
before removing any covers. Only electrical technicians may work on
the electrical equipment of the appliances.
Warning!
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous
or explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause

2.2 Function
Appliances of the UN, SN and
IN type series feature
natural circulation
(convection). For the UF, SF
and IF type series, air is
circulated by a fan at the
working chamber rear panel
(Fig. 3 , No. 1). It increases
the air flow and provides
stronger horizontal forced
air circulation than natural
convection.
In both the convection and
fan ventilated appliances,
supply air (2) is preheated
in a pre-heating chamber
(3). Through the ventilation
slits in the side panel of
the working chamber, the
preheated air is introduced
into the interior of the
chamber. The supply and
exhaust air (5) volume (air
change) is controlled by the
air flap (4) on the rear panel
of the appliance.

5.3 Loading the appliance
Warning!
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous
or explosive vapours or gases may be produced. This could cause
the appliance to explode, and persons could be severely injured or
poisoned. The appliance may only be loaded with materials which do
not form any toxic or explosive vapours when heated up and cannot
ignite (see also “Intended use” on page 8). If there is any doubt as to
the composition of materials, they must not be loaded into the appliance.
Caution:
Check the chamber load for chemical compatibility with the materials of the appliance
(see page 11).
Insert the sliding steel grids or sliding shelves. The maximum number or grids / shelves and the
load capacity are specified in the technical data overview on page 13.
The chamber must not be
loaded too tightly, so that
proper air circulation in the
working chamber is guaranteed. Do not place any
chamber load on the floor,
touching the side walls or
right below the ceiling of the
working chamber (Fig. 12 , see
also the "correct loading"
sticker on the appliance).
In case of improper loading
(chamber loaded too tightly),
reaching the set temperature
may take longer than normal.

For sterilisers SN/SF, the timer is by default setpoint-dependent. To ensure that the
required temperature is maintained for a sufficient period of time, this setting cannot be
changed. If the temperature is no longer within the tolerance band, the sterilisation time
is, for reasons of safety, restarted as soon as the required temperature is reached again.

7.5 Adjustment
The appliances are temperature calibrated and adjusted at the factory. In case readjustment
should be necessary later on – for example due to influence of the chamber load – the
appliance can be calibrated customer-specifically using three calibration temperatures of your
choice:
► CAL1 Temperature calibration at low temperature
► CAL2 Temperature calibration at medium temperature
► CAL3 Temperature calibration at high temperature
For temperature adjustment, you will need a calibrated reference measuring device.

appliance's working chamber.
7. Close the door and, in manual mode,
adjust the set temperature to 120 °C.
8. Wait until the appliance reaches the set
temperature and displays 120 °C. The
reference instrument should display
122.6 °C.
9. In the SETUP, adjust the calibration value
CAL2 to +2.6 K (actual value measured
minus setpoint temperature) and save the
setting by pressing the confirmation key.

With CAL1, a calibration temperature below CAL2 can be programmed accordingly, and with
CAL3, a temperature above. The minimum difference between the CAL values is 20 K for
universal ovens UN plus/UF plus as well as sterilisers SN/SF and 10 K for incubators IN/IF.
If all calibration values are set to 0.0 K, the factory calibration settings are restored.

Sterilisers SF/SN
8. Sterilisers SF/SN
8.1 Intended use
The SF/SN appliance serves for sterilising medical material through dry heated air at
atmospheric pressure.
8.2 Note in accordance with Medical Devices Directive
The product lifetime as intended by the manufacturer is eight years.
8.3 Guidelines for sterilisation
For hot air sterilisation, there are different guidelines on the temperature and sterilisation
time to choose, as well as on packaging the sterilisation load. The values to be chosen depend
on the type and characteristics of the load to be sterilised and on the type of germs to be
neutralised. Before beginning sterilisation, make yourself familiar with the sterilisation method
laid down for your application.
Process parameters for hot air sterilisers are temperature and minimum hold time. The
following process parameters have been defined in recognised standards:
► According to WHO: 180 °C with a minimum hold time of 30 min
► According to the European Pharmacopoeia: 160 °C with a minimum hold time of 120 min
For the inactivation of endotoxin (pyrogenes), dry heat of at least 180 °C can be applied. For
the depletion of pyrogenic substances, you have to keep a combination of temperature and
time going beyond the requirements of sterilisation.
Inactivation of endotoxin is possible using the following process parameters (data in
accordance with ISO 20857:2010):
► 180 °C with a minimum effective time of 180 min
► 250 °C with a minimum effective time of 30 min
Caution:
The temperature and time requirements normal for hot air sterilisation do not destroy
endotoxins.
Especially when the appliance is heavily loaded, using these parameters without checking
them will not be sufficient. For safe sterilisation, validation of the individual sterilisation
process is required. The requirements for the validation of sterilisation by dry heat are e.g.
defined in standard ISO 20857:2010. Also valuable is the "guideline on validation and routine
monitoring of sterilisation processes using dry heat for medical products" issued by the
German Society for Hospital Hygiene (DGKH).

agents. Make sure that no rusty objects come into contact with the working chamber or with
the stainless steel housing. Rust deposits can lead to an infection of the stainless steel. If rust
spots should appear on the surface of the working chamber due to impurities, the affected
area must be immediately cleaned and polished.
9.1.2 Plastic parts
Do not clean the ControlCOCKPIT and other plastic parts of the appliance with caustic or
solvent-based cleaning agents.
9.1.3 Glass surfaces
Glass surfaces can be cleaned with a commercially available glass cleaner.
9.2 Regular maintenance
Once a year, grease the moving parts of the doors (hinges and lock) with thin silicone grease
and check that the hinge screws are not loose.
