WARNING

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD

Risk of pinch point between door and threshold when the door opens. Keep fingers away from threshold.

Risk of pinch point between door and upper panel. Do not push on top portion of doors; do not push on

door when door is rising; do not push on door when door is jammed.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK AND/OR BURN HAZARD

Fasteners and star washers are used to ensure protective bonding continuity. Always reinstall any star

washer which may have been removed during installation or servicing.

Pressing bottom portion of POWER (ON/OFF) toggle switch to turn off washer/disinfector DOES NOT cut

off electrical power. Lockout/Tagout building electrical disconnect switch to turn off power to

washer/disinfector for maintenance or repairs.

Repairs and Service adjustments to this equipment must be made only by STERIS or STERIS-trained

service personnel. Service personnel must disconnect all utilities to unit before servicing. No one should

service unit unless all utilities have been properly locked out. Always follow local electrical codes and

safety-related work practices.

WARNING

POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD

When washer/disinfector is installed on a combustible floor, floor must be covered with a metal sheet

extending to the outer edges of washer/disinfector.

WARNING

CHEMICAL BURN AND/OR EYE INJURY HAZARD

Chemicals are caustic and can cause adverse effects to exposed tissues. Do not allow chemicals used in

the washer/disinfector to contact eyes, skin, or do not attempt to swallow. Read and follow the

precautions and instructions on the chemical label and in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling

the chemical, refilling the chemical container or servicing the chemical injection pump. Wear appropriate

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever handling the chemical or servicing the chemical injection

pump and lines.

Wear gloves and eye protection when using a chemical. Avoid contact with the eyes or skin. If a chemical

spills or splashes on you, flush the affected area with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce

vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

Except for an emergency, do not open door while cycle is in progress. In an emergency, first stop cycle by

pressing STOP followed by Abort on touch screen. Wait for water flow to stop. Once door is opened, wear

appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whenever reaching into the chamber.

If an obstruction is present in chamber door, DO NOT attempt to remove the object. Door automatically

raises and remains open. Hot water and steam may be sprayed through door opening. Always wear

appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and wait for water flow to stop.

Inner surfaces of washer/disinfector are very hot after cycle is completed. Allow washer/disinfector to

cool down before touching chamber. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),

including gloves as well as a face shield, and avoid all contact with inner walls when reaching into

chamber.

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 select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed. Failure to do so may result in product

damage.

Filters may be damaged from foreign oils and other contaminants. When replacing the filters, do not

touch new filter with bare hands. Open plastic wrapping and hold filter through the wrapping when

inserting into the filter housing.

Suction tips (as well as other items) must be fully enclosed within the accessory (curved suction tips
