Changes

* Carefully load items to be autoclaved, DO NOT overload the autoclave.

* Bottles containing liquids should be placed inside a heat resistant plastic tray (secondary container) containing an inch of water.

* Individual glassware pieces should be within a secondary container on a shelf or rack and never placed directly on the autoclave chamber bottom or floor.

* Make sure that the door of the autoclave is fully closed and latched and ensure that the correct cycle for the items being autoclaved has been selected before starting the cycle.
