remove incrustations. Rinse in running warm water and dry all parts with a soft cloth (non-abrasive).
The jar and the cover can be autoclaved by placing the parts into the autoclave and running one sterilization stem cycle at 121°C
(1 bar relative pressure – 15 min) making sure that the jar is positioned upsidedown. Mechanical resistance of the jar is
guaranteed up to 30 cycles of sterilization and cleaning at the indicated conditions (EN ISO 10079-1). Beyond this limit the
physical-mechanical characteristics of the plastic may decrease and replacement of the part is therefore recommended.
After sterilization and cooling at environment temperature of the parts make sure that these are not damaged.
The aspiration tubes can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
The conical connector can be sterilized on autoclave using a sterilization cycle at 121°C (1 bar relative pressure – 15 min).
DO NOT WASH, STERILIZE OR PUT IN AUTOCLAVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL FILTER
The AS-12V BR suction equipment does not need maintenance or lubrication.
With regard to training, given the information contained in the user manual and since it is easy to understand the said device, it
doesn't appear to be necessary. It is, however to inspect the unit before each use. Unpack the instrument and always check
integrity of plastic parts and feeding cable, they might have been damaged during previous use. Connect cable to electrical network
and turn switch on. Close the aspirator outlet with your finger and with suction regulator in maximum vacuum position check that
the vacuum indicators reaches – 75 kPa (-0.75 bar) minimum (internal battery). Rotate the knob from right to left and check the
aspiration regulating control. The vacuum indicator should go down – 25 kPa (-0.25 bar). Verify that loud noises are not present,
these can indicate wrong functioning. The equipment may also be used with the power cord hooked up to the electricity mains (the
yellow light switches over to the fixed green light). Ensure that the green light comes on and that, after a few seconds it switches
over to the yellow light (meaning that the charged battery is operating).
A protection fuse (F 1 x 630mA 250V) reachable from exterior and it situated in the plug protects the instrument.
For fuse replacing, always the type and the range. The device is made up of a lead battery which cannot be accessed by outside.
In order to replace it, consult the technical staff authorised by the manufacturer.
The device is protected by a safety fuse (F 10A L 250V) situated in the cigarette lighter adapter. For fuses replacing, always the
type and the range. Before changing the fuse, disconnect the plug from the power supply socket.
Internally, the device is protected (see electrical specifications) by fuse (F 3.15A L 250V) that cannot be reached from the outside.
Therefore, contact the manufacturer to request the assistance of an authorized and qualified technician when they need to be
replaced. If it's replaced make sure that its replacement is always the same type and value, as indicated.

cord hooked up to the electricity mains: the
yellow light comes on and then switch over to the
Unscrew the cap, and re-screw it
Unscrew the cap and insert the seal properly in
its seat
 Turn the vacuum regulator clockwise and
check the value of the vacuum on the gauge
