7.2.2.4 Post-Treatment of Sterilization Material
When unloaded from the sterilizer, all material sterilized with
steam contains residual moisture, which should evaporate
freely when the material is cooled.
Compared to containers made from aluminium or wire
baskets, the conditions for stainless steel and chromium
plated brass are particularly unfavourable.
Overloading the sterilizer has negative consequences for the
drying result.
Passing the commended times of sterilization without
additional cooling the drying of the sterilization goods is
significantly reduced so that additional drying times (e. g. 510 minutes evaporation with slightly opened door) are
recommended (see chapter 6).
INDICATION:
If dishes or trays are used, they should not be set onto flat
and solid surfaces. The condensate coat created by cooling
down to room temperature may subsequently cause soaking
of the wrapped sterilization material. Therefore, dishes and
trays are better set on grids or other structured surfaces.
CAUTION!
When loading or unloading the chamber, the door plate and
the chamber walls are preheated. Do not touch these areas!
Danger of burning!
