SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1
The following Safety Precautions must be observed when operating or servicing the Reliance® 400XLS Laboratory
Glassware Washer or the Reliance® 500XLS Laboratory Glassware Washer. WARNING indicates the potential for
personal injury and CAUTION indicates the potential for damage to equipment. For emphasis, certain Safety
Precautions are repeated throughout the manual. It is important to review ALL Safety Precautions before
operating or servicing the glassware washer.
If an obstruction is present in wash chamber door, door safety sensor will detect obstruction and door
will automatically stop closing. Wait until door is fully open and water flow has stopped before removing
obstruction.
If an obstruction is present in wash chamber door and door is unable to raise, DO NOT attempt to
remove obstruction from under door. Call a qualified service technician to safely remove an obstruction.
Regularly scheduled preventive maintenance is required for safe and reliable operation of this
equipment. Contact STERIS to schedule preventive maintenance or obtain the necessary maintenance
manual if preventive maintenance is performed by Customer.
Repairs and adjustments to this equipment must be made only by STERIS or STERIS-trained service
personnel. Repairs and adjustments performed by unqualified personnel or installation of unauthorized
parts could cause personal injury, result in improper equipment performance, void the warranty or result
in costly damage. Contact STERIS regarding service options.
Risk of pinch point between door and upper panel. Do not push on top portion of doors; do not push on
door when door is rising; do not push on door when door is jammed.
1-1
Safety Precautions Operator Manual 920514-444
WARNING – POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD:
When glassware washer is installed on a combustible floor, floor must be covered with a metal sheet
extending to the outer edges of glassware washer.
Wear gloves and eye protection when using a chemical. Avoid contact with eyes or skin. if spilled or
splashed, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek
medical attention immediately.
Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and allow piping to cool before inspecting and/
or cleaning supply-line strainers.
Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) before opening wash chamber door, wait until
water flow stops before slowly opening door. Hot water/steam may be sprayed through door opening.
1-2
920514-444 Operator Manual Safety Precautions
CAUTION – POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE:
Always position each manifold and/or bottom rotary spray over a manifold connector before operating
unit. If manifolds and/or bottom rotary sprays are not positioned correctly, damage will result and unit
will be unable to effectively wash load.
Always position each accessory header over a manifold connector before operating unit. If accessory
headers are not positioned correctly, damage may result and unit will be unable to effectively wash load.
Always select a cycle appropriate for the items being processed. Failure to do so may result in product
damage.
Once chamber door has been lowered, ensure cable is correctly aligned and routed on all six cable
pulleys.
Use nonabrasive cleaners when cleaning unit. Follow directions on containers and rub in a back-and-
forth motion (in same direction as surface grain). Abrasive cleaners will damage stainless steel.
Cleaners rubbed in a circular motion or applied with a wire brush or steel wool on door and chamber
assemblies can be harmful to stainless steel. Do not use these cleaners on painted surfaces.
When choosing a detergent, select one with a low-chloride content. Detergents with a high-chloride
content must not be used, as such detergents may harm stainless steel.

To properly clean items and to avoid personal injuries, always follow
these general loading guidelines:
• Ensure no items stick out or hang out of the rack. Always use a
rack designed to handle the appropriate type of items to be
processed.
• Glassware washing accessories must be placed over every
manifold connection before starting a cycle, if a manifold station
is left empty, washing performances will be highly affected.
• Miscellaneous articles can be placed in a general purpose
basket with or without a general purpose basket cover.

Preventing Glassware Breakage
IMPORTANT: Refer to SECTION 8, REPLACEMENT PARTS AND
PRODUCTS, for part numbers.
Some types of glassware are particularly fragile. If chipping occurs
in the neck area, the following can be done to improve the situation:
1. Place a glassware protective mesh on top of the spindle
headers. The same matting fits on all spindle headers and can
also be used in the General Purpose Basket.
2. On KM-2XLS, KM-5XLS and KM-8XLS accessories, a plastic rod
can be added to protect the neck of the glassware. The plastic
rod must be inserted over the accessory stainless-steel spindles.
3. The inside portion of some flasks may tend to chip during
handling. Insert a plastic sleeve over the spindles to help
minimizing this type of breakage. The tubing can be ordered by
the foot and cut on site to appropriate length. If scratching or
etching of the internal surface of larger glassware occurs,
special spindle tips with silicone o-ring can be provided for
KM-2XSL, KM-5XLS and KM-8XLS. The silicone o-ring prevents
glassware from being directly in contact with the tips.
NOTE: This system may also improve coverage for tall cylinders
and large Erlenmeyer flasks.
4. Some very small or very large pieces may be more difficult to
clean and require different spindles for optimal result. Below is a
list of shorter and longer spindles that can be ordered as
required.
