(—(Supplementary note)-
Pour water for evaporation
MLS-3020U units : 2 liters

water are used, they could cause the inside of the cham-
ber to corrode or mineral deposits to form.
4. Turn the power switch on.
# The sterilization temperature and sterilization time ap-
pear alternately on the digital display to indicate that
power is being supplied. This condition is called as the
standby status.
5. Insert items to be sterilized.
# Do not place items to be sterilized directly on the top of
the heater cover. Put them in stainless steel baskets and
place them gently into the chamber.
# Remove any caps from empty jars, canisters, and non-
porous containers and place them upside down in the
stainless basket to facilitate sterilization. Place hard
goods (i.e.metallic instruments) on the bottom when pro-
cessing mixed loads combining fabrics and hard
goods. This prevents wetting of wrapped packs from
condensed water dripping from the hard goods load.
Note
Be careful not to block openings inside the chamber or
inflict the impact on sensors, when placing the items to
be sterilized into the chamber. Doing so could cause the
unit to malfunction.
Also refer to page 17-18 (Items to be sterilized) for more
information on placement of items to be sterilized.
6. Close the exhaust knob.
# Close the exhaust knob by turning it clockwise as far as
it will go.
Note^
Performing of sterilization with opening the exhaust knob
will cause all water for sterilization to evaporate, resulting
in a dry scorch. There is also a danger to cause burns, if
steam and hot water are forced out from the opening of
the exhaust tank under high pressure. Always check to
make sure that the exhaust knob is closed before start-
ing the sterilization.
