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;

• Pollution Degree 2.

Pollution degree 2: Equipment must be installed in an environment where normally only non-conductive pollution occurs but

where occasional, temporary conductivity caused by condensation can be expected (as determined according to International

Standard EN/IEC 61010-1, Second Edition).

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).
