Safety Precautions for Sterilizer Use:
- It’s essential to use the sterilizer exclusively for its intended purpose. Please refrain from using it for culinary activities or food processing.
- Ensure that the sterilizer is operated securely, out of reach from children and pets.
- The machine can become exceedingly hot; therefore, wearing heat-resistant gloves is crucial to prevent burns.
- Regularly monitor the pressure gauge for safe operation.
- While the machine is pressurized, do not attempt to move or lift it. Avoid making direct contact with its hot surface.
- Before opening the sterilizer post-cycle, confirm that the pressure has reduced to zero. Proceed to release any trapped steam cautiously, keeping your hands and face at a distance to avoid potential steam burns.
- Under no circumstances should the machine be operated without water.
