5. Operating Instructions
- Pre-heating: After turning on, the sterilizer will automatically begin heating. The process of heating from 0°C to 250°C (302°F) takes approximately 12 minutes. The green light indicates the sterilizer is heating towards 150°C.
- Sterilization: Once the green light turns off, it signifies that the temperature has reached the desired level (150°C) and the sterilizer has stopped heating. At this point, insert only metal tools into the glass beads. Ensure the tools are clean of debris before insertion.
- Sterilization Time: For effective sterilization, tools should remain in the heated glass beads for at least 30 seconds.
- Tool Removal: After the required sterilization time, turn off the sterilizer. Using heat-resistant gloves or appropriate tools, carefully remove the sterilized items.
- Cooling: Allow the sterilized tools to cool down completely before handling with bare hands or storing.
