Sterilizer Location
The sterilizer must be placed on a level surface to ensure proper gravity filling of water in the chamber. If the sterilizer is going to be operated under the unusual condition of heavy duty continuous cycles, locate the sterilizer where excessive emission of steam will not damage materials and equipment in the surrounding area.
Allowing sufficient time between cycles for cooling the unit or refilling the reservoir with water (as outlined in step one of the operating instructions) minimizes the emission of steam from the water reservoir fill area.
DANGER – EQUIPMENT ALERT: Do not use this sterilizer where explosive anesthetics are stored.
A.) Table Top Height: 31″ (760 mm) to 37″ (920 mm) above the floor. 
B.) Table Top Surface: Formica, stainless steel or stone. Material to resist spilled water, steam blow-off, discoloration of paint, etc. Heat from bottom of sterilizer will produce about l60°F (71°C) temperature on the surface of the table for short periods of time.
C.) Back Ventilation: Allow about 22″ (540 mm) of counter depth which gives
2 1/2″ (60 mm) of space behind the sterilizer for air circulation when there is a wall behind the sterilizer.
D.) Distance to Side Walls: The sides of the sterilizer should be a minimum of
2 1/2″ (60 mm) from walls, equipment, or other obstructions that might inhibit side air ventilation of the unit.
E.) Distance Above Sterilizer: Wall cabinets or shelves should be no less than 25″ (600 mm) above the counter to provide space for filling the reservoir with water and cooling processed trays.
