Permissible Environmental Conditions
The AMSCO 7053L Single-Chamber Washer/Disinfector is designed to operate under the following conditions:
• Indoor use only;
• Altitude of operation up to 6560 ft (2000 m);
• Temperature of 41 to 104°F (5 to 40°C);
• Relative humidity of 30% to 80% non-condensing;

obstruction and door will not close. Wait until water flow has stopped before removing
an obstruction.
Regularly scheduled routine maintenance, as well as preventive maintenance, are
required for safe and reliable operation of this equipment. Routine maintenance
procedures are explained in this manual. For preventive maintenance, contact STERIS to
schedule preventive maintenance or obtain the necessary Maintenance Manual

WARNING
SLIPPING HAZARD
To prevent slips, keep floors dry. Promptly clean up any spills or drippage. For spills or
drippage of detergents or other chemicals, follow safety precautions and handling
procedures set forth on detergent or chemical label and/or Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
CAUTION
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Always position manifold rack over the manifold connector before operating
washer/disinfector. If manifold rack and/or bottom rotary spray arm assembly are not
positioned correctly, damage may result and washer/disinfector will be unable to
effectively wash load.
Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed. Failure to do so may
result in product damage.
Suction tips (as well as other items) must be fully enclosed within the accessory (curved
suction tips facing inward) to prevent obstruction in conveyor system.
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in
a back-and-forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will
damage stainless steel. Cleaners rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire
brush or steel wool on door and chamber assemblies can damage stainless steel. Do
not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low-chloride content. Detergents with a
high-chloride content must not be used, as such detergents may damage stainless
steel.
Wipe all plastic surfaces or painted surfaces with 70% isopropyl alcohol cleaner (such as
glass or countertop cleaners).
