Clave 16+ Instruction Manual v1.4
Thank you for choosing our steam sterilizer.
Prior to operating this device, please read the instruction manual carefully and follow all
installation instructions.
Regular maintenance:
If error code E88 appears on the screen when the device is powered on or if it appears on the
sterilization report, please contact your dealer or local service company for a maintenance
service. This device requires regular maintenance. Error code E88 will be displayed after 1 year
of use or after a certain number of cycles, whichever comes first. This is programmed into the
maintenance screen.
The Clave 16+ is the same as a Clave 16 except it has a built in compressor that speeds up the
drying process. It also has a bacteria filter that requires replacement approximately every 3
months.
Power on the unit with the door open. This will allow the unit to get a initial zero pressure
reading. The machine may not start a cycle and only beep when the start button is pressed if it
has a non-zero pressure reading on powering up.

4. Installation
* Ensure that the sterilizer is installed with 10cm (4”) ventilation space on all sides of the
sterilizer and 20cm (8”) on the top. The clearance required to open the door is 40cm (16”).
* The sterilizer should be placed on a level work table.
* Do not cover or block the door or any ventilation areas on the sterilizer.
* Do not install the sterilizer near a sink or in a location where it is likely to be splashed with
water.
* Do not install the sterilizer near a heat source.
5. Operation
5.1 Setup
5.1.1 Open the door and remove all of the inner contents.
5.1.2 Connect the power cord to an outlet of the appropriate voltage.
5.1.3 Power on. The switch is located underneath the control panel on the front of the
machine. After turning on the machine, the LCD screen will turn on and show the door
position, water level, working program, date, time, etc.

Clave 16+ Instruction Manual v1.4
5.1.4 Filling the distilled water tank
Open the cover and fill the tank with distilled water. When you hear the beep signal, it
means that the water level has reached the maximum level. The icon will be
displayed. Please stop filling immediately.
For the most effective sterilization and to preserve the instrument and tools, please follow
the suggestions below:
* Arrange the instruments of different materials on different trays or with at least 3cm of
space between them.
* Always insert a sterilization paper or cloth between the tray and instrument to avoid
direct contact between the different materials.
* Arrange the containers (glasses, cups, test-tubes, etc) on one side or in an inverted
position to avoid water pooling.
* Don’t stack the trays one above the other or put them in direct contact with the walls of
the sterilization chamber.
* Always use the instrument tray handle.
* Wrap the instruments one by one or, if more tools have to be set in the same bag, verify
that these are made of the same material.
* Don’t use metallic clips, pins, or other similar things as this jeopardizes the
maintenance of the sterilizer.
* Don’t overload the trays over the stated limit (see Appendix 2).

5.4.3 Sterilization Cycle Completion
Caution: Always use the tray handle to load or unload the trays from the sterilizer in
order to avoid injury or burning.
Notice: If you need to interrupt a cycle and remove materials urgently, you may hold the
button for 5 seconds after completing the holding time to skip the dry cycle. This will result in
the program skipping directly to the last step and eliminating the drying stage. After one minute,
the cycle will end.

6.3 S2 State
6.3.1 You can check the number of sterilization cycles run on the machine. It cannot be
changed by the operator.
6.3.2 Set the parameter for high altitude (if above 2.0 km or atmospheric pressure is
below 80 kPa, you may need to adjust for this parameter).

6.4 S3 State
6.4.1 Adjust the length of the sterilization and drying time. Press program button to
select the program. Press temperature button to select the
temperature of program. Then press to adjust the drying time and holding time.
Notice: The default sterilization parameters have been chosen to provide optimal sterilization
results. We do not suggest adjusting these parameters unless it is necessary.
A USB drive can be used as a method of storing the sterilization cycle report. To do so, insert the
USB drive in the slot on the right side panel. The information will be automatically recorded to
the USB drive after the cycle has completed. The name of the file is determined by the serial
number of the machine and the cycle number. For example: The serial number is E00001. The
cycle number is 00012. The file name on the USB drive is 01001200.txt. The first 2 numbers
represent the machine serial number. The middle 4 numbers represent the cycle number. The last
2 numbers represent the error code. 00 is no error, 01 is E01….
Press repeatedly until you enter the prior program storage screen.
This will show the cycle #. Press the button to toggle between
different cycles. To print or send details to the USB drive, press the
button. The most recent 20 cycle records are stored.
