It may cause burn injury by blow-out of boiling water and / or steam, water lack, and/or malfunction.
Do not open lid forcibly after pressing START KEY.
Opening lid forcibly after pressing START KEY may cause fatal accident or serious injury.
Do not open lid until chamber pressure goes down to “0MPa” when operation completed or
operation interrupted.
Steam spouts out of chamber by residual pressure which may cause burning.
In case of sterilizing liquid objects, to avoid exclusive boil, objects must be taken out of chamber
after cooling down enough taking time properly and unload quietly without any impact.
Liquid objects keep high temperature after sterilization completion since temperature of liquid cool down slower
than temperature in chamber. Therefore extreme temperature change when unloading may cause high temperature
liquid spouting by which operator may burn.
In case of sterilizing liquid objects, metallic or heat-resistance glass container must be used.
A glass container without heat-resistance may be easy to break by extreme temperature change and operator may
be injured by this breakage.
In case of sterilizing liquid objects (EX. liquid media), do not close container with lid or bung which
has no breathability.
It may cause rise of pressure in container, because temperature in container cool down slowly. Especially glass
container is easy to explode if it is damaged.
Use a heat-resistance glove when operator unloads objects after operation completion.
If operator touches chamber and/or objects without heat-resistance glove, operator may burn.
Do not open drain valve when there is residual pressure in chamber.
It may cause burn injury by blow-off of boiling water.
Do not touch exhaust bottle and stainless drain hose during air evacuation, exhaust, and drain.
It may cause burn injury. Do not touch them till cooling down enough.
Objects (especially sterilization bag) must be put in stainless wire basket or stainless bucket when
sterilization.
If operator loads objects into chamber directly, it may cause stopping up pipes which may lead to serious accident.
CAUTION
Do not put too much object in chamber for sterilizing.
(Quantity of object to be put inside chamber shall be less than 60% of capacity of chamber)
Putting too much object may cause sterilization incomplete.
In case of sterilizing containers, do not aim their open mouths upward nor overlap them each other.
Residual air may cause sterilization incomplete.
Sterilization bag shall be used with 100mℓ~200mℓ water inside. And open its mouth widely.
Residual air prevents penetration of steam which may cause sterilization incomplete.
Genuine accessories and spare parts made by ALP Co., Ltd. must be used.
Using other company’s products may cause serious accident and /or breakage of autoclave.

Failure to use proper water may decrease life of heating element and/or chamber.
17
5.4 Load object
① Objects must be put in stainless wire basket or stainless bucket (optional accessory),
then set in chamber slowly.
WARNING
Be sure to use stainless wire basket, stainless wire basket with pan or stainless bucket.
In case of sterilization without above accessories, chamber pressure become out of control
due to the objects choke up pipe which leads to serious accident such as explosion.
Be sure that objects do not make contact with the inside of the lid.
If the lid is not closed properly, it may cause serious injury by blowing steam /or serious accident.
CAUTION
In case of sterilization of flagons such as vial container,screw cap bottle,conical flask, take out
cap or screw down it.
(Do not close mouth of flagons with impervious material such as silicon or rubber.)
In case of sterilization of liquid objects, quantity of object to be put inside container shall be less
than 50% of capacity of container.

Too much object in container may cause bumping when objects are taken out of chamber after operation
completion.
18
●How to use the sterilization bag
①. To avoid breakage of sterilization bag, use with stainless bucket or stainless wire basket with pan
for sterilization. Don’t put the sterilization bag into chamber directly without using stainless
bucket or stainless wire basket with pan. Because exhaust holes located in the wall of chamber
may choke by sterilization bag which cause sterilization incomplete. In addition, pipes for control
and safety device may choke by sterilization bag which cause serious accident.
Be sure to put sterilization bag into stainless bucket or stainless wire basket with pan.
②. Don’t put too much objects into the sterilization bag. Quantity of object to be put in the
sterilization bag shall be less than 60% of chamber volume. Too much objects in the sterilization
bag may cause sterilization incomplete.
③. Sterilization bag must have open mouth. Sterilization bag must be set being open. (Refer to next
figure). If sterilization bag need to be tied with band, be sure to secure space for the steam going
out of sterilization bag. Closing the sterilization bag when sterilization may cause burst in addition
to the sterilization incompletion.
Close the bag when sterilization bag is disposed after sterilization.
④. For sure sterilization, it is advisable to put some water (about 200ml) into sterilization bag before
sterilization. Steam is generated in the sterilization bag which leads to better sterilization. In case
of sterilization without water in the sterilization bag, sterilization time must be set longer than in
case of sterilization with water.
⑤. If sharp pieces such as broken petri dish, test tube, and needles are directly put in the sterilization
bag, it may be cause of breakage of sterilization bag.(In case of using heat shrinkable sterilization
bag, it may break when a large quantity of hard materials such as disposable petri dishes are put
in the bag.)
⑥. It is difficult for linen and gauze to penetrate steam. They must not be put too much in
sterilization bag. This may cause sterilization incomplete.
⑦. Be sure to check the water level before every operation. In case of water lack, sterilization bag
may melt and stick to bottom of chamber by heat from heating element.

※ Sterilization conditions may vary depending on the objects. Use the chemical indicator and so on to get
suitable sterilization condition for each object.
※ If above ②⑥ happen and/or failure to do ③④, following safety device may work due to over pressure
in chamber by residual air.
- Pressure safety valve (Steam evacuates out of chamber)
①. Do not stack stainless buckets up in chamber. If the space between buckets is not enough, the
sterilization may be incomplete as air convection in chamber is insufficient.
②. Load stainless bucket in the center of chamber. If the space between the bucket and the
chamber’s wall is not enough, there is a possibility that sterilization is incomplete as evacuating
air is bung up. Also overpressure may cause safety device working.
④. Do not overload objects which are difficult to penetrate steam (linen, gauze, etc…), or it may
cause sterilization incomplete.

5.14 Reliability of sterilization
In case of sterilizing following containers which hinder the circulation and penetration of
steam, the temperature rises slower than temperature in chamber. Because residual air in
following containers is difficult to be evacuated.
Also it may cause Er-1(over pressure error).
Especially, in case of using sterilization bag and stainless bucket, refer to 5.4 Load object to
prevent sterilization incompletion and/or danger of over pressure.

6.Trouble shooting
CAUTION
If the situation of autoclave correspond to following item(①or②) when you ask for repair
autoclave, make autoclave and accessories to be non-polluting condition.
When water lack alarm sounds, turn off power switch(breaker) and let stand for an hour because
the chamber is high temperature. And then pour water into chamber.
Or it may cause heater trouble.
In case of trouble on autoclave even if you operate correctly under this instruction manual,
check out the cause and suitable treatment according as follow table. If there are items which
do not correspond to follow table, or if it is difficult to treat, please contact local distributor
