The sterilizer must be set up on a perfectly flat surface and left standing
free. Make sure to allow enough room at the back for easy access to the
terminal strip for connection of the power cable to mains.
Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance
with applicable regulations in force.

type (min. H05RN-F 3 x 1.5 mm2).
The (yellow/green) earth cable on the
end of the cable to be connected to the
sterilizer should be at least 20 mm
longer.

Make sure that plug and wall socket are of the same type and are in
conformity with regulations in force. Also check that the power supply
line is provided with adequate earthing. Avoid using adapters or
shunters.

In case of permanent connection, ensure that power cable is equipped
