Fire or overheating hazard warnings
Only put products that are resistant to steam sterilisation
inside, in accordance with the manufacturer's provisions.
Do not place the device on a flammable surface.
The device is not suitable for use in oxygen-rich or
potentially explosive atmospheres.
Do not block the air vents on the equipment casing
during installation or operation.
Comply with the minimum distance requirements in detail
if the autoclave is recessed.
Electrical hazard warnings
The device must be connected to the electrical mains.
The electrical system must comply with the IEC 364-1
standard and the "National regulations for installation
of electrical systems in premises intended for medical
purposes".
Check that the mains supply matches the power supply
voltage indicated on the plate on the autoclave rear
panel. If in double, consult your dealer.
The plug on the autoclave has an earth connection. Make
sure that you use an earthed socket and position the
device where it is not difficult to disconnect the plug.
If you use an extension cable, make sure that the cable
type is adequate for the equipment consumption.
Do not attempt to carry out maintenance on the autoclave
when it is connected to the power. Disconnect the power
cable from the mains before working on the machine.
Maintenance or repair operations must be carried out by
persons that have obtained a training certificate issued
by the manufacturer or Dürr Dental in the capacity of

Equipment explosion hazard warnings
Do not use any acids or corrosive substances to
clean any parts of the autoclave. Specifically, do not
use hydrochloric acid or any detergent that contains
chlorine. Using these substances may compromise the
mechanical integrity of the equipment and create an
explosion hazard.
The pressure chamber is protected by a safety valve:
annually check that it is working correctly.
Do not carry out maintenance work other than that

Contamination hazard warnings
The autoclave must be installed in a suitable hygienically
controlled environment.
Clean the chamber before using the device for the
first time. The autoclave works with distilled or
demineralised water (see the technical specifications
on page 74). The device would not work properly
with any other substance. Consult DÜRR DENTAL
technical service if an unsuitable liquid is put inside.
Do not use toxic substances during the sterilisation
process. Do not touch the contents of the discharge
tank.
Do not put substances or products that contain heavy
metals (lead, mercury, bromine, hexavalent chromium)
into the chamber. If released, these products could
contaminate the autoclave plumbing circuit and render
it unusable.
NEVER REUSE WATER
Do not carry out maintenance work other than that
described in the manual.
Only put heat-resistant products that do not release
hazardous substances into the sterilisation chamber.
Always consult the manufacturer's technical specifications
to ensure that the products can be sterilised.
All items must be decontaminated and thoroughly
cleaned and dried before being sterilised.
We recommend using chemical indicators to confirm the
sterilisation process.
