Power cable and power plug
nOnly the power cable included in the scope of delivery may be connected to the device.
nThe power cable may not be replaced by a cable determined to be insufficient.
Danger of short circuit
nLiquids may not be permitted to reach the interior of the device. This could result in an electrical shock or short circu-
iting.
Repair
nNever open the device housing. Incorrect opening and repair can compromise electrical safety and pose a danger to
the user. The guarantee and warranty are forfeited as soon as the device is opened by anyone other than a MELAG-
authorised technician.
Fan
nThe fan in the device floor must be free at all times and may not be allowed to become blocked or congested. Failure

nEnsure that small components (e.g. from instrument) do not enter the in-feed with the sterilization packaging to be
sealed. The small components could cause damage to the transport mechanism of the device, the sterilization mate-
rial and the sterilization packaging.
nNever introduce any objects into the sealing device other than the packaging materials specified in the user manual.
