1 GENERAL
Read the Operating Instructions carefully, before beginning any operation
on the autoclave!
1.1 Incoming Inspection
Upon receiving your Tuttnauer Autoclave carefully inspect the outside
of the shipping carton for signs of damage. If any damage to the carton
is found note the location with respect to the autoclave and check that
area of the autoclave carefully once it is fully unpacked. Observe
packing method and retain packing materials until the unit has been
inspected. Mechanical inspection involves checking for signs of physical
damage such as: scratched panel surfaces, broken knobs, etc.
If any damage is found contact your dealer as soon as possible so
that they can file a claim with the shipping carrier and also notify
Tuttnauer.
All Tuttnauer products are carefully inspected prior to shipment and all
reasonable precautions are taken in preparing them for shipment to

maintenance to be performed according to instructions in
section 8.1 (Preventive and Scheduled Maintenance).
Tuttnauer warrantees all new Manual autoclaves for a period of one full
year, covering both parts and labor. This one year warranty covers
defects in materials and workmanship on every part in the autoclave.
Tuttnauer warrantees all chambers for a period of ten (10) years against
defects in materials and workmanship. This chamber warranty went
into effect January 1997.
This warranty does not apply to any instrument that has been subjected
to misuse, neglect, accident or improper installation or application, nor
shall it extend to autoclaves that have been repaired or altered outside
the factory without prior authorization from Tuttnauer.
Tuttnauer’s obligation is limited to the repair or replacement of parts
for the autoclave. This warranty will be void if the unit is not purchased
from an authorized Tuttnauer dealer. No other warranties or obligations
are expressed or implied.
The Autoclave should only be used in a manner described in this
manual!
1.3 Warranty Statement
To activate the warranty, the registration card must be completed and
returned to Tuttnauer within fourteen (14) days of purchase or you may
call our customer service department at the number listed below.
No product will be received or accepted for repair without prior return
authorization from Tuttnauer. All transportation charges to and from
Tuttnauer must be paid by the owner of the autoclave. During the first
90 days after purchase of an autoclave, Tuttnauer will pay shipping
costs on an individually evaluated basis and ONLY with pre-approval.

2 TECHNICAL DATA
2.1 Introduction
This table-top autoclave is designed for the sterilization of wrapped and
unwrapped instruments and related items found in dental, medical and
veterinary clinics, first aid rooms, hospitals, laboratories etc.
This autoclave is an electrically - heated sterilizer using steam as the
sterilizing agent. It is a manually operated devise, with a control system
based upon steam pressure.
The operator can select a sterilization temperature from within a range
of 212ºF - 273ºF (100ºC - 134ºC). This allows for the sterilization of
heat sensitive material at a low sterilization temperature, as well as
providing for faster sterilization at higher temperatures for materials
able to withstand the higher sterilization temperatures.
All models feature an easy to use control panel. The machines are
ruggedly built using 316L stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum.
To guard against rusting no iron components are used. All models
include a fully functioning drying system for wrapped items.
2.1.1 Safety features
The safety features include a double locking door
mechanism (door tightening bolt and locking bellows), a
mechanical pressure relief valve, over temperature
thermostats and a double pole circuit breaker.
Pressure Door Lock System (Door Bellow)
The Door Bellows is a safety device that prevents the door
from opening when the chamber is pressurized.
The system utilizes the build up of pressure in the chamber
to expand a flexible Silicon-rubber bellows. The bellows
then pushes a metal pin into a grove on the tightening bolt
of the Door Closing Device.
This prevents the operator from opening the door when
there is pressure in the chamber. When the steam is
released, this bellow returns to its original position, drawing
the pin with it and releasing the tightening bolt.
This manual is intended for the user and gives the user a general
understanding of the instrument and the best ways to operate and take
care of it in order to obtain optimum effective results.
After reading this manual, operating the autoclave will be easy.
However since this instrument is built with high technology sensitive
components, no attempt should be made by the user or any other
unauthorized person to repair or recalibrate it.
Only technical personnel having proper qualifications and holding
technical documentation (including a technician manual) and
adequate information are authorized to service the apparatus.
6
2.2 Storage conditions
The packed or unpacked autoclave shall be stored in “indoor
conditions” (protected from rain and water).
2.3 Operating Condition

follows:
● - Altitude up to 2000m.
● - Minimum room temperature 41ºF (5ºC).
● - Installation Category II.
● - Pollution Degree 2.
The environment shall not exceed an ambient temperature of 40ºC and
a relative humidity of 50% up to a temperature of 31ºC and a humidity
of 80%.
The sterilizer should be loaded only with autoclavable material.
