To replace this valve, remove lock nut from inside the lid with a 13mm spanner and lift out complete valve
(Fig.1). Replace the valve with new one. Ensure cutouts in the aluminium valve body fit into notches on top
handle.
Always replace the seal when refitting the valve. These locate the valve in position.
PRESSURE INDICATOR:
To remove this indicator, locate M16 hexagonal nut in a socket and use the specified tool to undo the red cap.
The gasket offset device (GOD spring) is a very important safety device. It ensures that if the lid is incorrectly fit-
ted pressure cannot build up.The spring is forced away from the gasket by the body lug as the lid is rotated. The
spring allows the gasket to seal when the lid and body lugs are in a half lug engagement or better interlock position.
To work correctly the spring must be firmly riveted to the lid. It must protrude on the inside of the lid, past the
flange by a minimum of 1mm (with gasket removed). See figures 3 and 4.
A new spring cannot be fitted without the correct factory equipment, spring and riveter.
If the limits are outside the specification, then the GOD spring has to be adjusted using long nose pliers.

Ensure the lid is flat and stable and apply the pliers vertically. Locate the pliers onto the back edge of the spring
and twist inwards carefully. Do not buckle the spring. Check visually and measure the distance again.
Fig 4.
Remove the lid and gasket to ensure that the spring is protruding from the edge of the flange by 1 mm. (Fig. 5.).

To remove the top handle, first remove the steam release valve as previously described, (Fig 1.)
Once the top handle is removed the steam duct can be removed by releasing the two retaining pins.
After removal the steam duct will need to be replaced with a new one. Insert the two pins into the appropriate
holes in the lid and secure in place by melting the ends using the tip of a hot soldering iron, ensuring that the
pins cannot pass back through the holes.
Replace new side handles and top handle following the reverse of the sequence previously described.
New seals must always be used when refitting the top handle, steam duct and steam valve.
To remove, first take off steam release valve and top handle as previously described (on the 210134 and 210006
you need to remove the steam duct as well). Break off retaining clip and throw away old assembly. (Never re-use
assemblies). Fit new air bleed device with ‘O’ ring, push into lid hole, place washer over valve stem and force
‘push fix’ down to lock the device in position. Use special tool to push clip over air bleed device spigot.
LID GASKET:
Simply extract the old gasket from the lid flanges and replace with a new one.
However, if the lid is difficult to put on, Vaseline (petroleum jelly) can be lightly smeared around the edge and
underside of the body flanges.
BASE MOULDING:
Place body on a flat surface upside down. Then remove the three ‘posi’ screws, which hold the electronic
module in place
Lift out heatsink to remove module from base moulding. Disconnect the display ribbon cable connector.
Next, remove the earth wires from the body stud, then loosen the nut for the thermistor wire clamp (All M5 size).
Fig 6.
Disconnect the push on terminals from the wiring of the base and the heater element.
The electronic module is now free (Do not remove the thermistor fixing nuts).
Next, remove the fixing screw M5, in the centre of the base moulding and pull off the base moulding complete
whilst feeding the module between the moulded support legs.
Replace the base moulding with a new one in reverse order. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREW (2.5Nm
torque). Check to ensure the silicone caps are in position
Make sure no wires are trapped between the base and the body.
Ensure the thermal fuse is in contact with the base, making sure the white putty supporting the thermal fuse is
replaced 1
Refitting is in reverse order of the above. The M5 nuts should be tightened to 1 .4Nm. Note:
1. Each earth wire must be fixed to the body stud with a nut (2 wires and 2 nuts).
5. Ensure that the wires between rear mains inlet and module are retained in the location slots provided.
6. Always check that the push on connectors are tight and do not show signs of overheating.

THERMAL FUSES:
The thermal fuse is in the base moulding, to gain access to this part, remove the base as previously described.
The thermal fuse is in the brown wire and must be replaced as a complete assembly with wires and terminals (Fig 7).
Do not replace the fuse only, as this cannot be reconnected to the brown wires without a proper crimping tool.
Fig 7.
Remove base as previously described and remove push on terminals from input socket (Fig.7).
Always check that the push on connectors are tight and do not show signs of overheating.
Place body on a flat surface upside down. Then remove the three posi screws, which hold the electronic
module in place
Lift up the control module (complete) and disconnect the push on terminals from the wiring of the base and
element (as previously described).

Disconnect display ribbon cable. Remove thermistor wire cleat. Remove 2 x M5 nuts on earth stud.
Remove both M5 thermistor pocket retaining nuts. Control module may now be removed.
Note:
2. When refitting thermistor pocket, apply compound to base of the body centrally between studs (small quan-
tity of compound - 3mm bead size).
Mazak pocket must be pushed towards element. Excess compound must not touch the element - See Fig 8.
Fig 8.
Position Thermistor pocket to create gap - min O.5 mm; max 1 mm - between pocket & element
3. Refit module in reverse sequence for removal including replacement of white putty under the thermal fuse.
6. Always check that the push on connectors are tight and do not show signs of overheating.
Remove the three ‘pozi’ screws, disconnect the ribbon cable and take the LED Switch board out.

To replace a damaged or faulty pressure gauge, the 1/4 BSP nut must be removed.
To replace a damaged or faulty temperature gauge the 3/8 BSP nut must be removed.
The gauge to lid seal is provided by a knife edge machined onto the gauge boss. On a stainless steel lid an
aluminium washer is required to complete the seal
Care must be taken to ensure the knife edge seat on the replacement gauge is not damaged. On stainless steel
lids always replace the aluminium washer when replacing a gauge. The gauges must be correctly orientated
(nuts to be re-tightened to 35Nm.)
Note: Entry port may be removed by undoing the locknut. Ensure knife edge seal is not damaged and that
there is a continuous seal indent in the lid.
This device consists of connector body, locknut (25mm across flats) and a 3/8 BSP plug (fitted with an ‘O’ ring.)
The purpose of the entry port is to enable a qualified engineer to fit a thermocouple pressure probe to check the
calibration of the autoclave.

Fill to water level with de-ionised/distilled water (0.75L). Put on the test lid with pressure gauge and digital ther-
mometer connected. Then open the vent valve.
Note: Pressing the Start Button when the Yellow sterilizing light is illuminated will automatically set the
electronic timer to zero and re-start the sterilizing cycle timer.
After about 10 minutes from the start time, the sterilizing light should be lit with the heating light pulsing.
When the sterilizing light has been on for 5 minutes the temperature should be stabilised at between:-
Note: On the 134°C autoclave it will be necessary to press the start button after 2 minutes to reset the
sterilizing timer.

If this temperature is too low, turn the pot trimmer clockwise one click at a time to increase the temperature by
0.5 to 1.0°C, allow 1 to 2 minutes for the temperature to stabilise on thermometer.
If the temperature is too high, turn the pot trimmer anti-clockwise one click at a time, open the steam release
valve for 1 to 2 seconds to drop the temperature quickly.
Note: It is important that the temperature is dropped below target value before vent valve is closed.
When the temperature is stable, switch of and vent with the steam release valve for 1.5 minutes until the
temperature is 105°C to 110°C, close the valve and switch on and start another cycle.
Check water level, put furniture in the chamber together with a sterile indication (T. S.T) strip.
Fit product lid, close vent valve and start a cycle. Check the heating light, note the cycle time
Check that the sterilizing light goes out after cycle complete light comes on.
When cooled down, check the TST indicator strip has changed from yellow to purple/blue.
Note:
1. If the autoclave is in an ambient temperature of 0°C or less, it will not start a heating cycle. In the
event of this occurring, warm up autoclave by moving to another room or add hot water.
