1. DESCRIPTION OF UNIT (FIG. 1) The steam sterilizer “TIMO” consist of: PRESSURE GAUGE (Pos.1) The pressure gauge registers pressure in both pounds (outer scale) and metric measure (inner scale). The pointer moves around the dial indicating precisely the pressure within the unit. PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPTOR The pressure gauge adaptor connects the pressure gauge to the vessel cover. PRESSURE REGULATOR (Pos. 2) The pressure regulator is a solid one-piece unit. Accurate pressure readings can be controlled and maintained by adjusting heat settings. AIR VENT PIPE The pressure regulator fits over the vent pipe and allows excess pressure to be released. AIR VENT COVER LOCK The air vent/cover lock automatically "vents" or exhausts air from the vessel and acts as a visual indication of pressure in the unit. LOCKING BRACKET The locking bracket on the inside of the vessel body engages with the air vent/cover lock to prevent the cover from being opened when there is pressure in the unit. SEALING RING (Pos. 3) The sealing ring fits into the vessel cover and forms a pressure-tight seal between cover and body during sterilisation. OVERPRESSURE PLUG 2 1The overpressure plug is located in the vessel cover. It will automatically pop out and release steam in case the vent pipe becomes clogged and pressure cannot be released normally.

2. ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

220 - 240 Vac SINGLE PHASE 1300 W. This unit must be earthed. It is delivered with a mains plug with safety contacts. If replacing the mains plug, the mains lead colored green and yellow must be connected to the earth terminal on the new plug. If using a mains supply without a protective earth, the unit must be connected to a safe earth.

3. BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME 3.1 Remove the air vent/cover lock from the vessel cover. The cup portion of the air vent/cover lock, on the inside of the cover, unscrews from the pin. 3.2 Remove the sealing ring by simply pulling from the sealing ring groove. 3.3 Wash the cover and body with hot, soapy water. Do not submerge the cover in water or let the gauge come in contact with any liquid. The inside mechanism of the gauge may be damaged if it is submerged or if water is allowed to run over it. Scrub the sealing ring groove to remove the manufacturing oils. Scour the inside of the canner body and cover with a nonalkali, aluminum cleaner or a steel wool pad. Rinse with warm water and dry. 3.4 Reinsert the air vent/cover lock making sure the small gasket is in place. 3.5 Replace the sealing ring in the sealing ring groove. The sealing ring is pre-lubricated, therefore, it is not necessary to apply oil to it. Frequent oiling may cause swelling of the sealing ring. 3.6 If the cover is difficult to open or close use a pastry brush, a piece of cloth or your fingertips to apply a light coating of oil to the underside of the lugs on the vessel body. The cover should open and close easily. Be sure the vent pipe is open before each use by holding the cover up to the light and looking through the vent pipe. If the vent pipe is blocked, excess pressure cannot be released through it. Pressure will continue to build until the over pressure plug pops out of its cover opening. Pressure is indicated on the dial gauge which registers the pressure inside the unit at all times. The pointer will move across the dial as pressure is developed or reduced within the vessel. The one-piece regulator is designed to rock only at 15 pounds pressure. Do not strike the rim of the vessel body with any utensil as this will cause nicks which may damage the rim and allow steam to escape. Pouring water into a dry overheated vessel may crack the metal. The vessel has been designed so the cover will go on in only one position and rotate only in the directions indicated for closing and opening. Press down on the cover handles to compress the sealing ring and make the cover easier to close. The cover has the words CLOSE / OPEN embossed on the top surface near a cover handle. Align the "V" on the cover with the mark on the body handle for proper cover and body alignment. Turn the cover in the direction indicated to close until the cover handles are centered directly above body handles. Do not rotate cover beyond this point. When the cover is rotated to the closed position, the air vent/cover lock passes under the locking bracket. When the handles are aligned, one over the other, the pressure regulator is placed on the vent pipe, and heat is applied, pressure will begin to build within the vessel. At this point, the air vent/cover lock lifts and locks the unit. The cover will remain locked as long as there is pressure in the vessel. When pressure is completely reduced, the air vent/cover lock drops allowing the unit to be opened.


4. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS 4.1 This steam sterilizer must only be used for a maximum pressure of 1,08 bar (121 °C). 4.2 The steam sterilizer should be positioned in an area where there is adequate means for removal of steam. 4.3 Connect plug to mains supply. 4.4 Introduce distilled water or demineralized water into the sterilization chamber to cover the heating system. The use of distilled water avoids the production of calcareous deposits on the heating element. 20 minutes of sterilizing will use approximately 500 ml of water. 4.5 Two displays are lighted on time/temperature command panel. 4.6 Before programming, it is necessary to erase the protection of the parameters (safety keys), see paragraph 15.

5. STERILIZATION TEMPERATURE SETTING 5.1 Press “ENTER” four times in quick sequence to obtain “SP1” on lower display. 5.2 Select the sterilization temperature using the arrows. The sterilization temperature will be shown on the upper display. 5.3 Press “ENTER” to memorize.

6. STERILIZATION TIME SETTING 6.1 Press “ENTER”. The “t in 1” will be shown on lower display. 6.2 Select the sterilization time using the arrows. The sterilization time will be shown on the upper display. 6.3 Press “ENTER” to memorize. 6.4 The starting values will be shown on the display after 30 seconds (vessel actual temperature and the word “OFF”).

7. STERILIZATION CYCLE 7.1 Press the “START/STOP” button for 3 seconds to start the cycle. The following indications will be shown:

• flashing green led until the selected sterilization temperature is reached on lower display; • vessel actual temperature on upper display; • programmed temperature on lower display; • “HEATING” led on, during heating time; • “AUTOCONTROL” led on for automatic control of selected parameters.

7.2 When the sterilization temperature has been reached, the time left to reach end of the cycle is shown on the lower display. 7.3 The end of the sterilization cycle is indicated by an acoustic alarm for ten seconds. The “CYCLE END” led will light up for ten seconds. 7.4 The upper display will show the actual vessel temperature; the lower display will show the word “OFF”. 7.5 At the end of vessel cooling, open the lid to take out the sterilized material.

The selected parameters remain memorized also after the instrument is turned off.

9. CLEANING AFTER USE 9.1 The outside surface may be kept bright and shiny by cleaning with a good silver polish or simply by washing with soap and water. Iron and various minerals in water may darken the inside but this discoloration will in no way affect sterilization. These stains are harmless and may be removed by using a solution of water and cream of tartar. For each quart of water, use one table-spoon cream of tartar. Pour enough solution into the vessel to cover the discoloration (do not fill over 2/3 full), then close cover securely. Place regulator on vent pipe and heat until 15 pounds pressure is reached. Switch off and allow the unit to stand two to three hours. Remove regulator, open and empty contents. Scour thoroughly with a soap impregnated steel wool cleaning pad; wash, rinse and dry. 9.2 Each time the vessel is washed, remove the sealing ring and wash in warm, soapy water, rinse, dry and replace in cover. 9.3 The air vent/cover lock may be removed for occasional cleaning or for replacing the small gasket. Wash all parts in warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or small nylon brush to clean the cover hole. The small gasket must be in place when reassembling the air vent/cover lock. 9.4 The overpressure plug can be removed for cleaning by pulling it out of its opening from the bottom part of the cover. After cleaning, reinsert the plug by pushing the round side of the plug into the opening from the bottom part of the cover. When the overpressure plug is properly installed the word (TOP) will be visible when viewing the outside of the cover. The dented portion of the overpressure plug is visible when the bottom part of the cover is viewed. If the overpressure plug is ever forced out of its cover opening due to excess pressure while sterilising, it is important to have the vessel properly inspected before further use. Do not attempt to replace the overpressure plug and ask for servicing. 9.5 Be sure the vent pipe is open before each use. Clean the vent pipe with a small brush or pipe cleaner. 9.6 When your unit is not in use, invert the cover on the body and store in a dry place. Storing the unit with the cover locked on may deform the sealing ring.


10. GENERAL MAINTENANCE 10.1 CAUTION: To ensure safe operation and satisfactory performance, replace the overpressure plug every time you replace the sealing ring or sooner if it becomes hard or deformed. In any case replace the overpressure plug every two years. Failure to follow these instruction could result in bodily injury or property damage. 10.2 If the body or cover handles become loose, tighten with a screwdriver. 10.3 If leakage of moisture or steam develops while using your unit, check the following possible causes: The formation of a small amount of moisture under the pressure regulator is normal when heating first begins. This condensation is a result of the temperature of the pressure regulator being lower than the rest of the vessel. If excess condensation continues, the vent pipe may be loose and should be tightened with an adjustable wrench. Leakage between the cover and body is usually caused by shrinkage of the sealing ring after prolonged use. Replace the sealing ring, overpressure plug and pressure gauge adaptor. A slight amount of leakage around the air vent/cover lock is normal when sterilising first begins. If leakage continues, the cover handles may not be fully aligned with the body handles and, therefore, the cover lock cannot engage. Clean the air vent/cover lock occasionally to assure that it operates correctly. A small amount of steam or moisture may be visible around the overpressure plug as sterilisation begins. This will stop when the overpressure plug seals. If leakage continues, clean or replace the overpressure plug. 10.4 If the Pressure vessel becomes difficult to open or close and the sealing ring has expanded, replace the sealing ring. 10.5 IMPORTANT: In time, the sealing ring may shrink and the air vent/cover lock, small gasket, overpressure plug and pressure gauge adaptor may become hard and deformed. When this happens, replace the sealing ring, small gasket, overpressure plug and pressure gauge adaptor. The sealing ring, overpressure plug and pressure gauge adaptor should be replaced at least every two years. Before inserting a new sealing ring, clean the sealing ring groove with a brush. To insure safe operation of your unit, it is recommended that the pressure gauge adaptor and overpressure plug be replaced whenever the sealing ring is replaced.

11. REPLACEMENT OF THE HEATING ELEMENT Disconnect the electric supply, unscrew the two fixing nuts on the outside bottom of the sterilisation chamber and insert a new heating element. To re-assemble, repeat the same steps in reverse order. Ensure that the water level in the sterilisation chamber always covers the heating element.
