The user has to ensure that the equipment is being operated on a supply system which meets this requirement. If necessary, details of the system impedance can be obtained from the local power supply authority. Quality of material Memmert is using stainless steel (Spec. 1.4301) for the external casing as well as for the interior, an outstanding material because of its high stability, optimum hygienic features and corrosion resistance against many (not all!) chemical combinations (Attention e.g. at chlorine combinations!). WARNING! Before removing top cover – pull out plug !

5 2.2 Installation options (special equipment) The cabinet can be set up on the floor or on a table (bench), model 500 - 700 on a subframe. Ensure at least 150 mm clearance between back of oven and wall. The distance between ceiling and oven should not be less than 200 mm and the minimum wall spacing to the sides is 80 mm. Generally, a sufficient circulation of air around the unit is required. After the cabinet has been set up horizontally the door can be adjusted if required (see chapter - MAINTENANCE). The model 800 is movable. The front castors are lockable by means of a fixation. In order to assure stability, the front castors must always be adjusted to the front side of the oven for locking. 2.3 Wall mounting (special equipment) Up to model 700 for all ovens metal mounting brackets (see Fig. a) are available. A mounting bracket is delivered with an incombustible plate. The dimensions of the fixing screws are to be choosen depending on the total weight (equipment and loading) of the charge and the quality of the wall.

6 2.4 Stacking device (special equipment) Where the requirement is for two ovens of the same size to be placed one on top of the other, the oven with the lower working temperature should be placed on the bottom . Mounting:  Remove the top of the bottom oven and turning it upside down place the drilling jig into the back corner. Mark out the hole position and drill a 4,2 mm diameter hole.  With the screws provided fix the centering cylinders into position. Re-fix top cover.  Model 700 can only be stacked with an intermediate frame. 3 Putting into operation Attention ! Extremely strong shocks during transport can cause a displacement of the temperature sensors in the holding clips inside the working space. Take care before the first putting into operation that the temperature sensors are checked on their correct position and if necessary are slided cautiously backwards or forwards in the holding clip (see fig.). Handling of the door The door is opened by pulling the door knob, and is closed by pushing in the door knob. Attention! When the oven is started up for the first time it should be run under supervision until steady conditions are reached. ceiling of working space temperature sensor glass temperature sensor metal back panel of working space

The decimal point in the display is flashing.  After releasing the set-button the setpoint remains on the display for approx. 3 seconds and is then stored. The decimal point in the display is flashing.  The decimal point stops flashing and the controller switches to display of the actual temperature.  On cabinets with fan, the fan can be switched on to run continuously or switched off. F A 0 = fan continuously off - F A . 1 = fan continuously on.  The cabinets can be operated and programmed with the MEMMERT software „CELSIUS for WINDOWS®” via the serial interface and using a PC In this operating mode the fan speed can be adjusted in 10% steps on cabinets with fan. Note ! If the cabinet is being operated from a PC via the serial interface and a thermostating programme is started in the main programme window in the MEMMERT software „CELSIUS for WINDOWS®“, the set parameters can only be viewed on the controller but can no longer be altered. On pushing the set-button the display shows: °C temp h delay h hold , °C temp h delay h hold For further information refer to the enclosed handbook „CELSIUS for WINDOWS®”

10 7 The serial communication interface 7.1 Communication protocol The communication protocol of the MEMMERT controllers has been defined in accordance with the rules of the Standards Working Party for Measurement and Control in the chemical industry (NAMUR). 7.2 Computer connection 9-pin serial back of oven A serial interface located on the back panel of the cabinet (see illustration) is provided to link your Type E cabinet to the PC. The cabinet can be connected to the PC using a commercially-available standard connecting cable (3 m). It is important to use a shielded cable. The shield must be connected to the plug case. If the serial interface is not used, the connector must be covered with the protection cap. 7.3 RS232C interface The cabinet E is equipped as standard with a serial interface RS232C. Using this interface it is possible to operate the cabinet from a PC. This is done with the software program „CELSIUS for WINDOWS®“. If several cabinets are connected to a PC via the RS232C interface, a suitable interface on the PC and a separate cable are required for each cabinet. The normal cable length is 15 m. Example: Three cabinets are connected to one PC via RS232C.

21 12 Loading Cabinets described in this instruction manual must not be used for drying or warming substances which generate ignitable vapours when mixed with air. The cabinets described here must never be operated in areas with an explosive atmosphere. For correct operation and uniform temperature distribution it is essential to maintain free air circulation throughout the oven. The contents of the oven should therefore not be packed tightly, furthermore they must not be placed close to any of the heating ribs on the sides, top or bottom of the oven (note the loading diagrams on the ovens). In order to ensure optimum air circulation the shelves should be arranged to have roughly equal gaps between door, shelf and the rear of the working chamber. For the maximum number of shelves with the permissible load, see table below. In the event that the load is packed tightly and the ventilation slide is fully open the oven may take a very long time to reach the set temperature. The following schedule gives recommended loading levels which will ensure homogeneous temperature distribution within the working chamber. Model Max. number of shelves Load each shelf max. kg Total load kg 200 3 15 30 300 3 12 30 400 4 30 90 500 5 30 60 600 7 30 80 700 8 30 100 800 10 30 160

22 13 Sterilisers 13.1 Application The apparatus is used for sterilizing medical materials by employing dry heat through hot air at atmospheric pressure 13.2 Directives for sterilisation in MEMMERT- hot-air sterilisers. For the hot air sterilisation, many directions exist concerning the temperatures and sterilisation times to be selected as well as the packaging of the sterilisation goods. The data to be selected, depend on the nature of the goods to be sterilised and on the type of the germs to be deactivated. Please make yourself familiar with the applicable direction for your application before carrying out a sterilisation with your MEMMERT steriliser. Some examples for the correct preparation of different medical instruments are shown in the following table: Charging Preparation Instruments with no soft soldered parts Place the cleaned instruments, twin-packed in aluminium foil (recommendable) Sharp Instruments or blades Place the cleaned instruments, twin-packed in aluminium, foil (recommendable) Modern Syringes Place flasks and cylinders separately, twin-packed in aluminium foil (recommendable) Glass and glass instruments Disassemble the cleaned glass containers and glass syringes. Place on trays-cool slowly Bottles and similar items must be sterilised with the opening pointing downward in order to prevent the development of cold air nests. Organic fabrics (e.g. cork) must not be used as closing material for bins. 180°C are usually recommended as sterilising temperature (cf. e.g., German drug book DAB 10 or other national standards). For sterilisation, the set temperature dependent operation should always be used. The applicable hold time consists of the equalizing time (i.e. the time it takes until the desired temperature is reached at any point of the working chamber), of the actual extinction time and the safety surcharge. The following table shows rough values for the hold time to be selected at the controller, in dependence of the weight of the sterilising load for cabinets with and without air turbine (fan). Please note, that this data can only be applied for correct, loose loading. Information on the right loading of the unit are given in this operation manual and on the adhesive label directly on the cabinet. Sterilisation Weight of the load (see chapter 12) temperature 180°C low medium high Unit size without fan with fan without fan with fan without fan with fan 200 0.50 h - 1.20 h - 1.50 h - 300 0.50 h - 1.20 h - 1.50 h - 400 1.10 h 1.00 h 1.50 h 1.20 h 2.00 h 1.50 h 500 1.10 h 1.00 h 1.50 h 1.20 h 2.00 h 1.50 h 600 1.30 h 1.00 h 2.20 h 1.30 h 2.20 h 2.20 h 700 1.30 h 1.00 h 2.20 h 1.30 h 2.20 h 2.20 h 800 1.40 h 1.10 h 2.20 h 1.40 h 2.50 h 2.20 h The sterilisation time has to be multiplied by about 4, if a sterilisation temperature of 160°C is selected. With large units and heavy loads, the use of grates (option) is recommended instead of the perforated shelfs.

23 In particular with heavy loads, the untested usage of these provisional values is not sufficient. For a safe sterilisation, a validation of the individual sterilisation process must be done, using e.g. additional temperature sensors or germ packets. When sterilising the air flap has to be closed after the humid load has been dried. 13.3 Notes on the work with sterilising cassettes: The cassettes should be placed in the apparatus so that the hot air can flow easily through the air ducts (in an oven with air turbine the airstream flows crosswise through the working space). The directives about correct loading, which can be found in this operating manual and on the unit have to be followed also when using sterilising cassettes. This makes sure that a good temperature distribution is obtained and that the development of cold air nests is prevented. The sterilisation load must be packed in aluminium foil as shown in the table and must be placed in the sterilising cassettes. The air ducts of the box must be opened for sterilising. A temperature sensor for the verification of the temperature can be brought into the sterilising cassette through opening 2. After the sterilising time has elapsed, the air ducts must be closed by shifting knob 1 in the direction of the arrow. In this way, the sterilised goods can be preserved in the closed cassette for some days. 1 2 WARNING! Models 700 and 800 are fitted with a door closure mechanism incorporating a lock. If the user, against our express warning, enters the interior of the steriliser it is essential that he first pulls off the key and keeps it on his person.

24 14 Sterilisation programme 14.1 Example – Steriliser SLE 600: The cabinet has to sterilise at a temperature of 180°C for 1 hour 30 minutes with an average weight of the load. temp °C 180°C t Aufheizzeit Sterilisierzeit Abkühlphase FA.1 hold 30 Minuten °C temp hdelay h hold °Ctemp h delay h hold Menu item main switch in position Ÿ power 0 alarm I power heat fresh air 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold °C temp h delay h hold F A . only indicated on cabinets with fan.

25 During the sterilisation programme the display of the working controller always shows the actual cabinet temperature. On pushing the set-button the display shows the programmed setpoint temperature. The sterilisation programme may be interrupted through a supply failure or through opening the door. After the fault has been rectified and the setpoint temperature has again been reached, the sterilisation process is restarted from the beginning in order to ensure reliable sterilisation (see graph). temp °C 180°C t Aufheizzeit Sterilisierzeit Abkühlphase FA1 hold 30 Minuten °C temp h delay h hold °Ctemp h delay h hold 15 Door interlock (option) On cabinets provided with a door interlock, the doors are locked throughout the entire sterilisation programme. In case of a supply failure or when the cabinet is switched off, the doors are unlocked for safety reasons.

26 16 Maintenance General information Memmert appliances require minimal servicing. It is recommended, that the moving parts on the doors (hinges and door lock) should be lubricated with a thin silicone grease once a year (with continuous use 4 times a year). In case of a malfunction which makes the opening of the cabinet necessary this work has to be performed by a qualified service engineer. A tightly closing door is an essential requirement for proper operation of the oven. MEMMERT-ovens ensure perfectly tight closing of the door through a seal on the oven casing. The door seal presses accurately against the casing seal. In continuous operation the flexible seal material may acquire a permanent set. For proper closing of the door it may be necessary to adjust the hinge or the locking plate. 16.1 Readjusting the door After releasing the screw No.12 (ATTENTION! Screw No. 12 is secured with glue. Loosen jerky with inner hexagon key wrench 2 mm) the door can be adjusted by turning the eccentric 13 in the direction of the arrow (using a screwdriver). Tighten screw No. 12 again. In addition the upper part No.14 of the door hinge can be moved slightly in the direction of the arrow after releasing the 2 screws at the top or bottom of the door. 14 12 13 The locking plate can also be readjusted in the direction of the arrow after releasing the screw No.15. Ensure that the cover is again screwed down tightly. 15

27 17 Cleaning By regular cleaning of the (easy to clean) interior, residues are avoided which may impair the outfit and function of the oven. The cabinet can be cleaned with commercial stainless steel cleaning agent. Please note that objects liable to rust must not be placed into the interior. Rust sediments lead to contamination of the interior or the external casing. If rust stains caused by contamination occur on the interior surface, the affected areas must be cleaned and polished immediately. 18 Check list for rectifying faults Fault Cause Main switch in position I, green lamp in main switch-module remains dark Equipment not connected Lamp faulty Main fuse defective No temperature indication on the display Microfuse defective T32mA 250 V∼ on printed wiring board 55139.x Yellow lamp in main switch module remains dark Ambient temperature too high, working temperature in oven higher than the working temperature set with rotary knob (setpoint).
