7.8 Function description

Vacuum sterilizer divided into the following process: preheating process;the

vacuum step-up process; sterilization process; exhaust drying process; the
pressure balance process.

7.8.1 preheating process:

Select the program firstly, then close the door, press start button to enter the
preheating process,electrify heated steam generator heater reaches 100 ℃,
electrify heated the chamber wall heater to set temperature 50 ℃.

7.8.2 vacuum process:

Chamber wall temperature to 50 ℃, when the steam generator temperature

reaches 100 ℃, into the vacuum heating process, open the vacuum selection valve,
exhaust valve (normally on) and start the vacuum pump, 300 seconds later Close
the vacuum selection valve, exhaust valve (normally on) and the vacuum pump to
stop pumping the vacuum. Pot inlet valve intermittent pumping power, as steam
generator to generate steam. If the system is set up one pre-vacuum, the pressure
rise to +50 kPa until the pot stops pumping, open the drain valve to drain the
exhaust 0.0kPa to close drain valve, intermittent steam generator to pump water to
generate steam, when the pot the temperature reaches the set value, the end of the
vacuum and transferred to sterilized itinerary. If the system is set three times
pre-vacuum, then when the pressure inside the chamber rise to +50kPa ,end the
first pulse. Start the pump again, begin the second pre-vacuum process.

7.8.3 Sterilization process:

This trip is insulation packing process, when the pot temperature dropped to the
set sterilization temperature of +0.5 ℃ , the pump starts pumping water to the
steam generator, the pot temperature rise to the set sterilization temperature of
+0.9 ℃ ,open the exhaust exhaust valve, allowing the pot temperature is kept
between the set sterilization temperature +0.3 ℃ to the set sterilization
temperature +0.9 ℃.

7.8.4 Exhaust drying process:

7
When the sterilization time, reduced to zero, into the exhaust stroke dry, open the
drain valve to drain the pressure reduced to +0.0then the vacuum pump to start.
When the drying time only 3 minutes ,open the intake valve to vacuum drying.

7.8.5 Pressure equilibrium process:

When the drying time is reduced to zero, turn off the exhaust, dry intake valve
opens, so that the pressure to achieve and external balance, open the automatic
doors, complete sterilization.

7.8.6 Sterilization program is as follows:

9. Maintenance and Service

Shut off the power before service or components’ replacement, and the
service or replacement work shall be done by the technician.

Working environment minimum brightness to 215 + 15 lx,

9.1 Clean the top water tank by disinfectant or alcohol once a week.
9.2 Disinfect and clean the interior surface of the Steam Sterilizer chamber
monthly.
9.3 Replace the fuse.
Fuse Type: 250V,15A

Check the parameters of new fuse is correct .

1) Before change the fuse, turn off the power, and must pull out the plug.
2) Revolve the fuse base by counter-clockwise by screwdriver to bring out the
melting fuse to be replaced;
3) Replace the new fuse and reset the fuse base on the original position, then use
the screwdriver to fasten the base by clockwise.
4)Check the correctness of the data of the new fuse replaced.

9.4 Clean the sealing ring periodically

The operator shall clean the sealing ring periodically for avoiding the influence to
the seal caused by the dust/dirt left due to the long period use. Use the smooth
cloth with distilled water to wipe the surface of the sealing ring or sealing cap
gently. The user shall discharge the sealing ring for further cleaning or
replacement if the air-leaking problem can not be resolved after the above process
(The user shall discharge the sealing ring periodically for cleaning and inspection
as recommendation by the supplier).

9.5 The replacement work for sealing ring

Tool: One flat screwdriver (No sharp edge at the head)
1) One hand catches the lip of the sealing ring, the other hand insert the
screwdriver into the clearance between the sealing ring and the door for raise up
the sealing ring.
2)After raising up part of the ring, you can use hand to draw the whole ring out.
Wash its groove after drawing out the ring and pay attention to see whether it’s
spoiled or not in consideration of the necessity of replacement.
3)Put back the ring to the original door groove after cleaning. Most Important: the
inset work must be done equably to the groove During the installation, the laid
four equal points of the ring must be inserted to the groove firstly, later for the
same work for the remaining segments of the ring. After finishing, press the
sealing ring equally by the force of hand.

10
4)Note: The inner circle of the ring may be raised up when insert the ring into the
groove. Please press it to the groove by using the screwdriver carefully.
Shut off the power and cooling the Steam Sterilizer sufficiently before inserting
the ring for avoiding scald.
9.6 Check the safety valve
In order to prevent the safety valve in the blocking state, Under normal use, allow
the steam pressure release through it once a month.
1)operation sterilizing procedure
2)When the pressure in the sterilizer reaches 100 kpa，Pull rings on safety
valve, make the safety valve open,about 2S, if steam jet, the safety valv
e work is normal. Ifnot, the safety valve need for effective inspection or
replacement

Pull rings on safety valve will steam jet, It is best to use tools such
as screwdriver when pull. Do not use finger directly, Operator also need ke
ep away from it , prevent burns!

Replace the safety valve:

This operation is limited to the professionals

1) Loosen the set screws of the safety valve, take the safety valve down f
rom the panel,
2) replace with a qualified safety valve (must provide by manufacturers).
3) Test a sterilization process

The machine maintenance and replacement of electrical components must cut

off power supply first. And only the manufacturer or professional person
designated by the manufacturer can operate

10. Transportation and Storage

10.1 The preparatory work before
transportation and storage:
Shut off the power, draw out the plug and cool the Steam Sterilizer down.

10.2 Draining
