at least once a month.We recommend Cleaning Kit #201009.When cleaning
the inside of the chamber, spray cleaner on cloth first and avoid contact with
heating elements. Use a wet cloth to wipe away any cleaner residue and then
follow with a dry cloth to wipe dry.
Replace the inner door gasket once a year, or sooner if it becomes loose.
Order gasket #201108 for Model 200 or #301108 for Model 300.
Replace the thermostat if the temperature control becomes erratic or every
3 years. Order part #201032 for Model 200 or part #301032 for Model 300.

Steri-Dent sterilizers are the result of a design that has been in use for
many years by dentists, hospitals, and the U.S.armed forces. This design
has been refined and improved over the years to make it safe and simple
to operate, easy to use, and low in cost to operate. It is user friendly and
very reliable, but requires the operator to choose the proper loading,
temperature, and time setting to ensure complete sterilization.
Operating Instructions for
Steri-Dent Dry Heat Sterilizers
Model 200 and Model 300
Steri-Dent Dry Heat Sterilizers come equipped with a mechanical automatic timer,
bi-metal thermostat, and thermometer.
MECHANICAL AUTOMATIC TIMER
The timer switch serves as the ON/OFF switch for the sterilizer. To activate the
timer and turn the sterilizer on, turn the knob clockwise (right) past the number
"10". You can then set the timer for the desired time as indicated on the
calibrated scale dial.
To set the timer for continuous operation or "warm up," turn the knob counter
clockwise (left) to the "HOLD" position. CAUTION: The sterilizer will remain
on until it has been manually turned off or set for a timed sterilization cycle.
THERMOMETER & THERMOSTAT
The bi-metal thermostat is used to adjust the temperature of the sterilizer.
The glass thermometer on the front of the unit indicates the sterilizer's
chamber temperature.
STERILIZER SET UP (First time only)
Before using the sterilizer for the FIRST time, it is necessary to establish a
thermostat setting that will maintain the selected temperature.
For 320 Degrees F (160 Degrees C) set the number "7" on the thermostat dial to
match and line up with the marking dot on the side of the sterilizer. Set the timer
to "HOLD" position.
After approximately 30 minutes for the Model 200 and 45 minutes for the Model
300, check the thermometer temperature. The thermometer temperature should
be near 320 Degrees F (160 Degrees C). If not, adjust the dial.The smaller the
number of the dial setting, the lower the temperature setting. Temperatures may
vary during the heat-up period.
PILOT LIGHTS
The sterilizer has two (2) pilot lights. The left light will be on as long as the time
switch is in the "ON" position. The right light is on only while the heating
elements are operating and heating the sterilization chamber.
MAXIMUM LOADING
Model 200 Sterilizer - 1.3 pounds per tray (includes the weight of the tray)
Model 300 Sterilizer - 1.4 pounds per tray (includes the weight of the tray)
SPORE TEST STRIPS
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommend the sterilizer be tested
weekly. For Dry Heat Sterilizers, use Bacillus Atrophaeus spore test strips.
