1. ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The maintenance operations described in this chapter have been defined after careful examination of the
average operating conditions of the sterilizer. If substantially different requirements occur, you should
promptly contact the manufacturer.
This chapter describes the preventive maintenance procedures applicable to the sterilizer; as regards the
individual components of the sterilizer, please refer to the specific maintenance data sheets.
In preparing an adequate maintenance schedule for the sterilizer, you should also consider that any periods
of inactivity of the sterilizer must be considered according to its duration.
Short periods of inactivity
There are no particular issues regarding periods of inactivity of less than two months.
Long periods of inactivity
For periods of over two months, in order to prevent sticking or early deterioration of the gaskets, treat them
with silicone oil. Following particularly extended sterilizer downtimes, it may be necessary to replace the
gaskets and the seals.
; CAUTION
Correct and accurate maintenance allows to prevent most of the anomalies and to preserve
over time the performance of the sterilizer in addition to facilitate its longer durability.
! WARNING
Before performing any maintenance operation on the sterilizer, unless otherwise specified,
ALWAYS shut it down, disengaging the main switch and disconnecting the sterilizer from the
mains electric power supply and from any other power sources.
! WARNING
The sterilizer has to be subjected to a preventive maintenance program, realized by qualified

personnel. FEDEGARI suggests to perform this maintenance program at least once in a year.
Anyway, the maintenance frequency has to be dimensioned according to several specific
factors such as:
- High number of cycles performed
- Quality of process fluids
- Characteristics of the treated product
- Installation environment
This above mentioned factors can generate the need to increase the frequency of the
maintenance program. Authorized dealers, service centers and technicians perform the
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 3 / 26 January 2011

maintenance program following check-list developed according the prescriptions of the

present manual.
NOTE
Overloads of an electric motor are almost always caused by mechanical anomalies. These
anomalies usually become apparent by producing abnormal vibration and noise, which should
always be given appropriate attention from their first occurrence. When in doubt, promptly
contact the Technical Support Service of FEDEGARI.
1.1. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
This subsection lists the procedural steps recommended for correctly performing ordinary preventive
maintenance to be performed on the sterilizer. These procedures are organized by subject and list, in
addition to any warnings, the frequency and the tools, materials and instruments to be used during
maintenance.
! WARNING
Perform maintenance activities only while wearing adequate clothing, suitable for the type of
maintenance to be performed and at the same time capable of protecting the operator from the
danger of bruising, abrasions, and contact burns, even with jets of fluids at high temperature.
! WARNING
Do not perform maintenance operations unless you are certain of being able to operate in an
environment that is not contaminated by chemical, bacterial, or microbiological agents, i.e.,
ONLY WHEN the previous sterilization cycle performed on the sterilizer has ended successfully
and the materials that constitute the load have been regularly sterilized without any leakage
(breakage or opening of bottles, bags, containers or others). Maintenance activity on the
sterilizer in the presence of chemical, bacterial or microbiological agents MUST BE authorized
expressly by the departments in charge of the company that owns the sterilizer, and must be
performed by using suitable protective equipment in accordance with the safety standards
applicable in the country of use.
! WARNING
Some parts of the sterilizer inside the technical area are constituted by components and
surfaces where high temperatures accumulate during operation. The operator MUST AVOID
strictly any attempt to access these parts without first putting on suitable protective clothing.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 4 / 26 January 2011

1.2. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The procedures are organized according to the following subjects:

) Visual inspection
) Cleaning
) Periodic checking
1.2.1. VISUAL INSPECTION
Once a week, visually check the integrity of the system and of its main components as described in the
following subsections.
1.2.1.1. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Before performing the visual inspection of the sterilizer, check that:

) according to the work reports, the last sterilization cycle ended successfully;
) the door/s of the sterilizer is/are open;
) when the door/s is/are closed, the pressure in the chamber is equal to the atmospheric pressure
and the temperature is, with a 10% tolerance, equal to the ambient temperature;
) the sterilizer is switched off and the process controller is deactivated; otherwise, deactivate the
sterilizer and take the safety steps for isolating the sterilizer from the electric power source.
1.2.1.2. LIST OF CHECKS

and in particular:
1. Check that the hydraulic ducts and the pneumatic lines are intact and do not have cracks or
deformations, and that there is no evident dripping, leakage of liquid, or jets of fluids under pressure.
Check moreover that all the plastic ducts do not touch the metallic parts because these one reach,
during the working, high temperatures;
2. check the physical integrity of the electrical lines that carry signals, power supply and commands;
they must not have portions that are frayed or without insulation, or loose portions with excessively
tight radius of curvature;
3. inspect the surfaces of the internal sterilization chamber. They must be perfectly smooth and
polished and must show no dents, abrasions or scuffing of any kind;
4. check the physical integrity of the magnetic-driven fan: check for an easy rotation of the shovels on
the shaft;

compressor is normal and continuous without changes in intensity and/or tone.
! WARNING
While the sterilizer is active, perform this checks ONLY VISUALLY and with suitable personal
protection means. Avoid absolutely any physical contact with the sterilizer parts.
1.2.2. CLEANING
Normal operations for cleaning the sterilizer must be performed in accordance to what has been described in
this subsection. Specific products must be used to treat each part. Use of unsuitable substances or tools
may cause severe damage to the sterilizer and to its components.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 6 / 26 January 2011

; CAUTION
In FEDEGARI sterilizers, the parts in contact with the process fluids are made of austenitic
stainless steel; if correctly maintained, it has excellent corrosion resistance characteristics.
Maintenance cleaning of the internal surfaces should be performed regularly.
Unless otherwise specified, never use abrasive cloths or tools. Always use gentle natural or
synthetic sponges and lint-free cloths.
! WARNING
Austenitic stainless steel surfaces, when in contact with chlorine or with its compounds, may
lose their resistance to corrosion and be damaged irreversibly. When using and cleaning the
sterilizer, absolutely avoid the use of solutions and detergents that contain chlorine or
chlorides.
1.2.2.1. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Before cleaning the sterilizer, check that:

) according to the work reports, the last sterilization cycle ended successfully;
) the door/s of the sterilizer is/are open;
) when the door/s is/are closed, the pressure in the chamber is equal to the atmospheric pressure
and the temperature is, with a 10% tolerance, equal to the ambient temperature;
) the sterilizer is switched off and the process controller is deactivated; otherwise, deactivate the
sterilizer and take the safety steps to isolate the sterilizer from the electric power source.
1.2.2.2. PARTS TO BE CLEANED
The parts of the sterilizer that require periodic checking and cleaning in order to ensure their correct
operation and preserve the best levels of reliability and efficiency are listed below.
Sterilization chamber
The instructions in this regard are easy to apply, following an approach that avoids permanently damaging
the passive film that coats the chamber. As a rule, a wash with soap and water is sufficient, followed by
rinsing in plenty of purified water and drying with a soft cloth. Excellent results are also obtained by washing
the surfaces with hot water and a mild detergent. It is particularly important to make sure that washing is
“always” followed by abundant rinsing with purified water, and that non-abrasive cloths are used for drying.
The stainless steel surfaces do not deteriorate as a result of frequent cleaning operations, which can be
carried out whenever they are considered necessary.
Manual cleaning must be performed with movements that follow the same direction as the finish and do not
go against its grain.
Particularly thick deposits of lime can be dissolved using very hot water with the addition of acetic acid, or
using a specific descaling solution for stainless steel.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 7 / 26 January 2011

Spots of oil and grease are eliminated using a mild detergent in very hot water. Very stubborn spots can be
removed using products based on ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, or other solvents such as acetone.
These products do not corrode stainless steel, but can harm gaskets made of elastomers. Traces of rust
(contamination) are usually not due to corrosion of the stainless steel, but to iron particles transferred from
work carried out using contaminated tools. If the application of a detergent proves ineffective, it will be
necessary to use a pickling agent specific for stainless steel (product in gel form are available for local
application). Pickling could alter the appearance of the treated surface so it may be necessary to consider
polishing it afterwards.
What to avoid
To avoid damaging the stainless steel surfaces, the following must not be used:
- abrasives such as pads, brushes or abrasive disks made of other metals or alloys or which have
previously been used to clean other metals or alloys;
- abrasive detergent powders that could ruin the appearance of the surface finish;
- silver cleaners;
- hydrochloric acid (commercial muriatic acid) and its fumes;
- detergents that contain chlorides.
To put it briefly, where more complex problems are involved it is advisable to consult specialists, but in most
cases users can proceed using information and products available on the market.
NOTE
This information is included in the document DM#175289 Operating instructions for pressure
vessels developed according to PED Directive enclosed into the Pressure Vessel Folder.
Filter in chamber
Check daily the cleaning condition of the filter in chamber and start cleaning as follows:
1. pull out the filter’s body from its seat using its handle;
2. release the metallic filter from macroscopic residuals (fragments, glass, substances like Agar, etc.);
3. wash the filter with hot water in solution with non-abrasive detergents and using a soft bristles brush
of vegetable or synthetic fibres;
4. rinse out abundantly and carefully and then dry the metallic net forming the filtering element with a
low pressured compressed air jet (not over 1.5 bar);
5. put in the chamber filter in its seat.
! WARNING
Do not extract the filter if on the chamber’s bottom there are fragments, glass, substances like
Agar etc. First of all remove carefully the solid substances and check during the pulling out of
the filter they do not fall in the overflow well: these could clog and damage the sterilizer valves.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 8 / 26 January 2011

Temperature checking sensor
Check weekly the cleanness of the temperature probe. Proceed cleaning as follows:
1. pull out the temperature probe from the chamber and clean the head of the sensor using water in
solution with neutral detergents and a cotton cloth;
2. with the same solution and using a non abrasive sponge, clean the sheath. Dry the head and the
sheath using a clean lint-free cloth.
User’s interface devices
Weekly, proceed cleaning as follows:

1. hoover on the reflecting device’s surfaces;
2. clean the surfaces using a natural sponge lightly soaked in water;
3. dry the surfaces using a clean lint-free cloth or a non abrasive damp cloth.
NOTE
While cleaning the Touch Screen do not exert pressure on the display.
Door/s and external cabinet
Monthly, clean the door/s and the external cabinet using a damp cloth.
Product transport basket
Weekly, wash and rinse out the baskets.

1. Wash with hot water and normally commercially available non-abrasive, non-acid detergents;
2. rinse out with water abundantly and thoroughly.
Line filter
Monthly check the cleaning condition of the filters on the air, water feeders and, if present, steam.
; CAUTION
Besides the above-mentioned operations, we recommend to check the cleaning procedures as

indicated in the maintenance sheets.
1.2.3. PERIODIC EFFICIENCY CHECKING

1.4. ANALOG SIGNALS CALIBRATION
The purpose of this paragraph is to describe the operating procedures for correctly performing the calibration
of analogical signals. In our view, it is advisable for users to have their own internal operating procedures,
and this document can be useful when drafting or reviewing such procedures.
1.4.1. SELECTION OF THE INSTRUMENTS TO BE USED
One key aspect of the sterilization process is the level of accuracy with which the sterilizer (autoclave) is able
to control the temperature. As a part of this control, the ability to read process variables (temperature and
pressure) accurately is obviously particularly important. In order to better qualify the sterilizers that it
manufactures, FEDEGARI has always devoted particular attention to the choice of all the components of
measurement chains (and in particular of sensors).
Analog signal measurement chains generate errors anyway and therefore are subject to being inaccurate
(i.e., to having accuracy limits); systematic errors, however, can be corrected by implementing suitable
procedures for adjusting the signal or the reading. The process controllers more recently installed on
FEDEGARI sterilizers are equipped with suitable software operations that allow to correct the reading
without acting on hardware components (such as trimmers).
Clearly, in order to maintain the accuracy characteristics that distinguish FEDEGARI sterilizers, it is
necessary to perform periodically (typically once a year or once every six months) a regulation and
calibration (i.e. a partial correction and certification of errors).
Correct regulation and calibration of analog signals require suitable procedures and instruments and in
particular reference instruments that are periodically certified with reference to first-line national standards.
The precision (or more exactly accuracy) characteristics of the instruments used for regulation and
calibration are also crucially important in maintaining the levels of accuracy that FEDEGARI sterilizers are
required to have.
For years, FEDEGARI has had procedures and instruments suitable to maintain the accuracy of the control
of the sterilization process within the limits of ±0.5°C (i.e., as required by the FDA for the sterilization of LVP),
even when applying the strict 1:4 Uncertainty Ratio (the ratio appropriate according to Brunner). It is
therefore evident that in order to maintain the required accuracy, the individuals who perform periodic
regulation and calibration services on sterilizers manufactured by FEDEGARI too should be equipped with
instruments and procedures capable of ensuring the same performance. Based on these criteria, the
following is deemed adequate:
1) For temperature measurements:
Reference instruments (sensor + reader) with an accuracy equal to or higher than:
±0.5°C / 4 / 4 ≅ ±0.03°C,
with certification renewed annually by an EA-accredited laboratory (SIT or equivalent body) in the range from
0 to 250°C and with a typical measurement uncertainty of ±0.03°C or higher.
Thermostatic baths and methods suitable to maintain the probes in an environment with temperature
uniformity equal to ±0.05°C with good stability at set point (indicatively, ±0.005°C per hour).
2) For pressure measurements:
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 21 / 26 January 2011

Reference instruments (sensor + reader) for reading absolute pressure values, with accuracy equal to or
higher than:
±0,002 bar,
with certification renewed annually by an EA-accredited laboratory (SIT or equivalent body) in the range from
0.1 to 7 bar, with rising and falling calibration, with a maximum uncertainty of measurements of ±0.001 bar or
higher. Calibration of the reference instrument at the following points is recommended: 0.1, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2,
1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 5.0, 7.0 bar.
1.4.2. PERIODIC CALIBRATION OF THE MEASUREMENT CHAINS
Preliminary operations
After selecting the reference instruments based on the criteria described in chapter 1 of the present
document and on the operative limits of the sterilizer, the person in charge of the calibration shall verify the
following:
• the reference instrument shall be able to operate (operative range) at values > than the defined HIGH
POINT and at values < than the defined LOW POINT,
• the reference instrument shall be calibrated (we recommend to define the frequency of calibration based
on the frequency of use, to perform the calibration no later than one year after the last calibration and
always to ask the laboratory for the "as found" certification besides the calibration certificate).
Operative modes – temperature
The person in charge of the calibration shall define the measurement points to be used as reference. We
suggest the following values:
• LOW POINT equal to 100°C,
• HIGH POINT equal to 140°C.
After positioning the reference probe (Intelligent probe IRTD) and the probe belonging to the measurement
chain to calibrate inside a thermostatic bath (dry well – portable temperature reference), the person in charge
shall verify the signal stability, positively evaluating variations not higher then 0.2°C in three minutes.
The temperature values measured by the reference instrument shall be indicated in the specific box
contained in the process controller section dedicated to calibration (see subsequent paragraphs).
The comparison between the values read by the measurement chain and the values indicated by the reading
of the reference instrument allow the process controller to take these variations into account in the operative
management of the sterilizer.
The End-User has to define in its calibration procedures the acceptance criteria to be applied in the
evaluation of the difference between a value read by the measurement chain and a value that can be
referred to a reference instrument (whose characteristics are specified in chapter 1 of the present
document).
In case these acceptance criteria are not satisfied, one item of the measurement chain shall be replaced and
the calibration activities shall be repeated starting from the modalities described in chapter 3 of the present
document.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 22 / 26 January 2011

Sequence of operations for performing temperature calibration

Low temperature – Low point
− heat the autoclave sensor to 100°C in a measurement oven
equipped with a reference sensor.
− wait for the temperature to stabilize.
− access the temperature calibration page by pressing in

sequence the keys shown on the right.
− insert the value read by the controller on line L and the value
read by the sample sensor on line C in the “Basso” (Low)
column (100°C), in the box corresponding to the sensor to be
calibrated (e.g. T1).
High Temperature– High point

− heat the autoclave sensor to 140°C in a measurement oven
equipped with a reference sensor.
− wait for the temperature to stabilize.
− perform the calibration following the instructions given for the

Low Point.
− to check the calibrations performed, it is advisable to set the
measurement oven at 121°C and compare the readings of the
controller sensor and the reference sensor.
Suggested acceptance criteria – temperature
Deviation accepted after calibration:

− ±0.1°C at the calibration low point;
− ±0.1°C at the calibration high point;
− ±0.3°C at the checks point (at least one check point at 121°C).
Operative modes – pressure
The person in charge of calibration shall define the measurement points to be used as reference. We
suggest the following values:
• LOW POINT, the best vacuum value obtainable – for instance about 0.060 bar (if KX20 Vacuum pump is
present) - or equal to atmospheric pressure;
• HIGH POINT, less then 0,2 bar with respect to the set point of the installed safety valve VS - for instance
3.300 bar (VS 2,5 bar g) – or 4,8 bar (VS 4 bar g).
In order to reduce the thermal shift typical of the pressure transducers, before performing the calibration the
instrument installed on the autoclave shall be evenly heated performing at least one sterilization cycle. At the
end of this adjustment phase it will be possible to connect the pressure calibrator to the autoclave by means
of the specific flange.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 23 / 26 January 2011

Chamber pressurization shall be performed using air as working fluid in order not to damage the reference
instrument; to obtain the maximum vacuum value it will be necessary to regulate the specific activations
manually.
At this point, the person in charge shall verify the stability of the signal, positively evaluating variations not
higher than 5 mbar in one minute.
The pressure values measured by the reference instrument shall be indicated in the specific box contained in
the process controller section dedicated to calibration (see subsequent paragraphs).
The comparison between the values read by the measurement chain and the values from the reading of the
reference instrument allow the process controller to take these variations into account in the operative
management of the sterilizer.
The End-User has to define in its calibration procedures the acceptance criteria to be applied in the
evaluation of the difference between a value read by the measurement chain and a value that can be
referred to a reference instrument (whose characteristics are specified in paragraph 1.4.1).
In case these acceptance criteria are not satisfied, one item of the measurement chain shall be replaced and
the calibration activities shall be repeated.
Sequence of operations for performing pressure calibration

Low pressure with KX20 vacuum pump
− close the door/s and pressurize the sealing gasket.
− close manual valve VM.
− connect the pressure calibrator to the validation port.
− access the pressure calibration page by pressing in

sequence the keys shown on the right:
− on the pressure calibration page, press key Calib. P to

activate the three pressurization keys P--, P=, P++
(active=blue, not active=grey).
− press key P--: the vacuum pump and discharge will be

automatically activated until a pressure of 0,060bar is
reached.
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 24 / 26 January 2011

− let the pressure stabilize and insert the values read: in the
Basso (Low) column, line L, insert the value read by the
transducer; and in line C, the value read by the reference
measurement instrument.
− after they have been entered, press key P= to activate baric

balancing.
Low pressure without KX20 vacuum pump
− access the pressure calibration page following the
same instructions given above.
− simply insert the values read by the controller
transducer and the pressure calibrator, taking care to
record the readings with the door/s open
High pressure for sterilizers with direct compressed air feed
instructions given above.
− on the pressure calibration page, press key Calib. P to
activate the three pressurization keys P--, P=, P++
(active=blu, not active=grey).
− press pressurization key P++ to activate E010 and
S003: the pressure will rise to 3,300 bar and stop
automatically at that level.
− to calibrate at a different pressure (<3,300bar) press
P++ when the desired value is reached when the
pressure is rising.
− allow the necessary time for it to stabilize then enter the
values in the Alto (High) column: in line L enter the
value read by the transducer, in line C enter the value
from the reference instrument.
− once the values have been entered, press P= to
activate baric balacing.
High pressure for sterilizers with compressed air feed from an external compressor
− connect the external compressor and the reference
instrument to the free validation port DN22 located on
the chamber.
same instructions given above.
− perform the calibration following the same instructions
given above for sterilizers with direct compressed air
feed.
Suggested acceptance criteria – pressure
Deviation accepted after calibration:

− ±0.01 bar at the calibration low point;
ID no. 171666 Rev. 7 25 / 26 January 2011

− ±0.01 bar at the calibration high point;

− ±0.03 bar at the checks point (at least one check point at 2 bar).
1.4.3. INSTALLATION OF NEW SENSORS
The contents of this paragraph can be applied when new sensors installed on the sterilizer are to be
calibrated in order to substitute those provided by the manufacturer.
For this purpose, FEDEGARI recommends the use of original spare parts, in particular the PT100 probes
and the pressure transducers. The technical manual provided with the sterilizer explains how to order the
spare parts correctly.
Before starting the calibration of the entire measurement chain, a preliminary check of the new sensor shall
be performed in order to evaluate its compliance. The activities are the same as those reported in chapters
1.4.1 and 1.4.2 of the present document, with the difference that, if the following acceptance criteria are not
satisfied, no value will be indicated in the process controller as the sensor undergoing verification shall be
rejected because it is not considered sufficiently accurate
The acceptance criteria for temperature relevant to the preliminary check of a new sensor before to perform
the calibration are:
− ±0.6°C at the calibration low point
− ±0.7°C at the calibration high point
The acceptance criteria for pressure relevant to the preliminary check of a new sensor before to perform the
calibration are:
− ±0.025 bar at the calibration low point
− ±0.025 bar at the calibration high point

OPERAZIONI PRELIMINARI
1. DESCRIZIONE FUNZIONAMENTO
OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Installato con asse verticale sul corpo dell’apparecchio, il dispositivo (fig. 1) permette l’inizio della
manovra di apertura della porta solo se la differenza tra la pressione all’interno della camera
e la pressione atmosferica è inferiore a 0.05 bar.
Installed in vertical axis, this device (fig. 1) allows the opening manoeuvre only if the difference
between the pressure inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure does not exceed 0.05 bar.
Se la differenza tra la pressione all’interno della camera e la pressione atmosferica è superiore a
0.05 bar, il pistone si porta in vicinanza del microinterruttore, che attivato, interrompe
l’alimentazione elettrica del sistema di apertura della o delle porte.
If the difference between the pressure inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure exceeds
0.05 bar, the piston moves closer to the micro switch. If activated, this microswitch interrupts the
electrical power supply of the door opening system.
Per effetto della forza di gravità il pistone discende quando la differenza tra la pressione all’interno
della camera e la pressione atmosferica è inferiore a 0.05 bar; allontanandosi dal
microinterruttore, il pistone provoca il disinserimento, permettendo il ritorno
dell’alimentazione elettrica al sistema di apertura della porta.
By gravity, the piston lowers when the difference between the pressure inside the chamber and the
atmospheric pressure does not exceed 0.05 bar; by moving away from the micro switch, the piston
disengages the switch, allowing the door opening system to be supplied with electric power again.

4. VERIFICA SOGLIA DI INTERVENTO

INTERVENTION LIMIT CHECK:
Verificare l’efficienza dell’intervento del dispositivo controllando che permetta l’inizio della
manovra di apertura alla condizione che la differenza fra pressione all’interno della camera e
la pressione atmosferica sia inferiore a 0.05 bar.
Verify the efficiency of the device intervention checking it allows the opening manoeuvre only if the
difference between the pressure inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure does not exceed
0.05 bar.
Per la verifica si utilizza il vapore e sarà necessario istallare, in comunicazione con la camera
interna, un manometro con scala sufficientemente valida per apprezzare lo 0.01 bar e con
fondo scala non superiore a 0.5 bar.
This check is carried out by using steam. It is necessary to install a pressure gauge connected to the
internal chamber. The scale of the pressure gauge has to be able to read 0.01 bar and the top of the
scale has not to be higher than 0.5 bar.
Nella camera interna, con coperchio perfettamente chiuso, occorre immettere il fluido fino a
raggiungere una pressione di circa 0.2-0.5 bar. Il fluido deve poi essere scaricato lentamente,
aprendo il rubinetto frontale (fig. 3).
Introduce the fluid in the internal chamber, keeping the cover perfectly closed, until a pressure of
approximately 0.2-0.5 bar is reached. Discharge the fluid slowly, opening the frontal cock (fig. 3).
Durante la fase di scarico, l’operatore dovrà continuamente tenere sotto controllo l’ingresso
digitale n° 1 e la pressione indicata sul manometro. Nell’istante in cui l’ingresso digitale passa
dallo stato 1 allo stato 0, se il dispositivo è efficiente, la pressione letta non deve essere
superiore a 0.05 bar.
During the unloading phase, the operator will check continuously the n° 1 digital input and the value
on the pressure gauge. When the digital input state varies from 1 to 0, the pressure displayed has not
to be higher than 0.05 bar. This condition is satisfied when the device works correctly.
Qualora il valore letto durante il passaggio di stato risulti inferiore a quello ammesso, la taratura
rientra nei parametri di sicurezza. Se la commutazione avviene ad una variazione di pressione
superiore a 0.05 bar, una volta riportata la pressione della macchina a zero, sarà necessario
smontare e revisionare il dispositivo agendo come al punto 4.
If during the variation of the digital input state the readout is lower than the allowed value, the valve is
calibrated correctly and satisfies the safety measures. When the level commutation varies over the
allowed pressure value 0.05 bar, it will be necessary (when the pressure has reached zero) to
disassemble and overhaul the device, proceeding as described in subsection 4.

Remove the fixing clamp connecting the steam pipe to the generator , the centering ring and the O-
ring (fig.2).
• Procedere al lavaggio utilizzando soluzione disincrostante o acido acetico diluito (fig. 3).
Wash the steam generator with a descaling solution or by diluted acetic acid (fig. 3).
• Rimontare l’anello di centraggio, l’O-ring e il morsetto di fissaggio.
Reassemble the centering ring, the O-ring and the fixing clamp.
• Ad istallazione ultimata chiudere il rubinetto di scarico e riempire il generatore di vapore con
acqua deionizzata.
After the installation, close the drain cock and fill the steam generator with deionized water.
Fig. 1
Fig. 3 Fig. 2
NOTA
NOTE
L’acqua deionizzata deve avere caratteristiche ben precise.
Ad esempio una minore conducibilità consente di minimizzare le operazioni di pulizia
del generatore di vapore dalle incrostazioni calcaree.
Pertanto si consiglia di utilizzare acque aventi le seguenti caratteristiche.
- PH: 6÷7.5
- TOC: <500 ppt
- CLORURI: max 30 ppm
- Conducibilità raccomandata: da 1 a 30 µS/cm ( suggeriti 15 µS/cm) , a 25° è ammessa
una conducibilità fino a 30 µS/cm, però la pulizia del generatore di vapore deve essere
eseguita ogni anno.
The deionized water has to have precise characteristics as for example a lower conductivity
that reduces the cleaning operations of the steam generator from calcareous scales.
We recommend to use water with the following characteristics:
- PH: 6÷7.5
- TOC: <500 ppt
- CHLORIDE: max 30 ppm
- Recommended conductivity: 1 ÷ 30 µS/cm ( suggested 15 µS/cm ) at 25°C - TOC< 500 ppb –
pH: 6.0 ÷ 7.5 – Chlorides max 30 ppm, with yearly steam generator inspection.
ll seguente controllo e relativa manutenzione devono essere eseguiti a sterilizzatore

spento.
The following checks and maintenance have to be carried out while the sterilizer is switched
off.
3. CONTROLLO E PULIZIA TERMOSTATO

THERMOSTAT CHECKING AND CLEANING
• Sfilare il bulbo del termostato dal generatore di vapore (fig. 4); verificare l’assenza di
incrostazioni e se necessario pulirlo impiegando una soluzione disincrostante o acido acetico
diluito.
Unthread the thermostat bulb from the steam generator (fig. 4) and check it is not scaled; if
necessary, clean it with a descaling solution or diluted acetic acid.
Fig. 4
• Mettere in funzione lo sterilizzatore e verificare che immergendo il bulbo del termostato di

sicurezza in un bagno termostatico a 169°C, il teleruttore di pilotaggio delle resistenze del
generatore di vapore intervenga disattivandone l’alimentazione.
Switch on the sterilizer and check that plunging the safety thermostat bulb in a 169°c temperature
bath, the main switch of the steam generator heating elements operates deactivating the power
supply.
• Sfilare il bulbo dal bagno termostatico, attendere che si raffreddi e rimontarlo sul corpo del
generatore di vapore.
Unthread the bulb from the temperature bath. When it cools, reassemble it on the steam generator’s
body.
• Ripristinare il termometro premendo con l’aiuto di un cacciavite il pulsante di ripristino
interno accessibile dall’apposita feritoia.
Reset the thermometer pressing with a screwdriver the internal button accessible from the proper
loophole.
4. SOSTITUZIONE TERMOSTATO (CODICE RICAMBIO CD220008)

THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT (SPARE PART CODE CD220008)
• Scollegare elettricamente iI termostato e rimuoverlo dallo sterilizzatore.
Disconnect the thermostat and remove it from the sterilizer.
• Montare un nuovo termostato e riposizionare il relativo bulbo.
Install a new thermostat and reset its bulb.
NOTA
NOTE
Lo sterilizzatore si blocca quando l’acqua nel generatore di vapore giunge al livello
minimo. A causa delle inerzie termiche dei componenti, l’acqua residua continua però a
riscaldarsi e ad evaporare surriscaldando il generatore di vapore; ciò fa intervenire il
termostato che manda in blocco lo sterilizzatore. Per riprendere le normali attività dello
sterilizzatore, sarà necessario riportare a livello l’acqua nel generatore di vapore e poi
ripristinare il termostato come descritto sopra.
The sterilizer stops working when the water arrives at a minimum level in the steam generator.
Because of the thermal inertia the residual water goes on evaporating, overheating the steam
generator causing the block of the machine. To restore the activities of the sterilizer, bring back
to level the water in the steam generator.

PULIZIA DEL FILTRO E SOSTITUZIONE

FILTER CLEANING AND REPLACEMENT
Non estrarre il filtro se sul fondo sono raccolti frammenti, vetri, sostanze come Agar, ecc…
Rimuovere tutte le sostanze solide accuratamente ed accertarsi che, durante l’estrazione del filtro,
non ne cadano nel pozzetto di scarico: queste intaserebbero e danneggerebbero le valvole
dell’autoclave.
Do not extract the filter if, on the bottom, fragments, glasses, substances like Agar, etc are collected.
Remove carefully all the solid substances and verify during the extraction of the filter they do not fall in the
drainage trap. The substances could stop or damage the autoclave’s valves.
• Aprire la porta della camera di sterilizzazione

Open the sterilizer’s chamber door.
• Estrarre dalla propria sede il corpo del filtro agendo
sull’impugnatura di cui è dotato.
Remove the filter body from its housing by its handle.
• Liberare il filtro metallico da residui macroscopici
eventualmente presenti (scaglie di vetro, frammenti
organici, ecc...).
Clear the metal filter from any macroscopic residues (glass
splinters, organic fragments, etc...).
• Pulire accuratamente tutti gli orifizi della rete metallica
con l’ausilio di un getto d’aria compressa o bagno ad
ultrasuoni.
Clean carefully all the wire net orifices, also using, if
necessary, a jet of compressed air or an ultrasound bath.
• Verificare l’assenza di rotture, incrinature o
danneggiamenti vari sulle parti costituenti il filtro ed il
corpo filtro.

ATTENZIONE!
WARNING!
Si sconsiglia di effettuare frequenti verifiche di apertura della valvola per controllare lo
stato di taratura. Le valvole di sicurezza installate sono prodotte da fornitori qualificati e
quindi corredate da un certificato di taratura conforme alle normative vigenti applicabili.
We do not recommend performing frequent opening checks on the valve to check its
calibration. The safety valves installed are supplied by qualified manufacturers and are
provided with calibration certificates in accordance with the regulations currently in force.
FEDEGARI consiglia di procedere alla revisione o alla sostituzione di tali dispositivi
ogni tre anni indipendentemente dalla frequenza di utilizzo e dalle condizioni di
esercizio. Ogni nuova fornitura di valvole di sicurezza di ricambio, viene corredata da un
nuovo certificato di taratura emesso dal fabbricante.
FEDEGARI recommends that you replace these devices every three years regardless of their
frequency of use and operating conditions. Each consignment of new safety valves for
replacement purposes is accompanied by a new calibration certificate issued by the
manufacturer.
La manomissione delle valvole di sicurezza può causare gravi danni sia
all’apparecchiatura sia all’operatore. FEDEGARI declina ogni responsabilità derivante
da manomissione o incuria dei sistemi di sicurezza.
Tampering with the safety valves can cause serious damage to the equipment and injury to the
operator. FEDEGARI rejects all liability arising out of tampering or carelessness with the safety
systems.
Qualora vengano trattati materiali potenzialmente pericolosi per l’ambiente e/o per
l’uomo, si raccomanda di convogliare tutti i fluidi di scarico dello sterilizzatore in modo
opportuno. FEDEGARI declina ogni responsabilità derivante da un non corretto
convogliamento di suddetti fluidi
When processing materials potentially dangerous to the environment and/or to human beings,
we advise you to collect and dispose of all discharged fluid from the sterilizer in a correct and
appropriate manner. FEDEGARI rejects all liability consequent to incorrect disposal of the said
fluids.
ATTENZIONE!
WARNING!
In caso lo sterilizzatore operi ad altitudini dove la pressione ambientale risulti
sensibilmente diversa da 1 bar g, si richiede che tale informazione venga trasmessa a
FEDEGARI in sede di richiesta di una valvola di ricambio.
If the sterilizer is to be used at altitudes where the environmental pressure differs significantly
from 1 bar, we request you to inform FEDEGARI of this fact when requesting a replacement
valve.
1. VERIFICA EFFICENZA SFOGO

CORRECT VENTING CHECKING
• Allentare la ghiera dell’otturatore mentre lo sterilizzatore è ad un valore di pressione inferiore
rispetto a quello massimo di esercizio.
Loosen the upper ring of the shutter while the sterilizer pressure is lower than the maximum operating
value.
• Questa prova è necessaria per controllare che tra otturatore e sede della valvola non ci siano
incollamenti o impedimenti che ne impediscono l’apertura.
This test is necessary to check there is no jamming or obstacles between the shutter and the valve
seat that could hinder opening.
2. VERIFICA TARATURA E CAPACITÀ DI SFOGO

CALIBRATION AND VENTING CAPACITY CHECKING
• Elevare la pressione all’interno del recipiente (camera o generatore di vapore) fino alla
pressione massima ammissibile e controllare il momento in cui la valvola comincia ad aprirsi.
Verificare che la sovra pressione (o il valore di pressione) alla quale la valvola è
completamente aperta non superi del 10% il valore della pressione massima ammissibile.
Raise the pressure inside the vessel (chamber or steam generator) to the maximum allowable
pressure value and then check at which point the valve begins to open.
Check that the overpressure (or the pressure) at which the valve is fully open is not more than 10%
above the maximum allowable pressure value.
• Durante questa prova si deve controllare che la pressione all’interno della camera e del
generatore, con aperte le valvole d’immissione fluido e le valvole di sicurezza completamente
aperte, non aumenti oltre il valore della pressione massima ammissibile.
During this test it is also necessary to check that the pressure inside the chamber and the generator,
while the safety valves fully open, does not increase beyond the maximum allowable pressure value.
• Lo sterilizzatore è equipaggiato con valvole di sicurezza calibrate dal fabbricante e controllate
da FEDEGARI ad una pressione ambiente di 1 bar.
Nel caso lo sterilizzatore venga istallato in località con pressione ambiente diversa da 1 bar (±
10%), FEDEGARI raccomanda che il personale qualificato e/o i tecnici autorizzati per
l’istallazione ricalibrino le valvole in relazione alla nuova pressione ambientale prima della
messa in servizio. Questo accorgimento garantisce sicurezza e corrette condizioni di utilizzo.
The sterilizer has been equipped with safety relief valves calibrated by manufacturer and controlled
by FEDEGARI in its workshop at a room pressure equal to 1 bar.
If the sterilizer should work at an external pressure different from 1 bar (± 10%), FEDEGARI
recommends that qualified personnel and/or engineers authorized to install it recalibrate valves
according to new room pressure before starting to work. This device assures safety and correct
operating conditions.
3. SOSTITUZIONE DELLA VALVOLA DI SICUREZZA
SAFETY VALVE REPLACEMENT
• Accedere al vano tecnico dello sterilizzatore rimuovendo la pannellatura per effettuare la
sostituzione o la revisione completa delle valvole di sicurezza della camera e del generatore
di vapore.
Access the technical area of the sterilizer removing the panel of the machine in order to replace or
revise the chamber or steam generator safety valves.
