Sterilizer Manufacturer:
Pelton & Crane
Model of Sterilizer:
OCR
Problem Title:
OCR+ takes 1 hour to reach temperature of only 210 F
Problem Description:
OCR+ only gets up to 210 degrees F as shown by temperature guage and it takes an hour to get that far!
Reasons
1. The most probable reason for this is the door switch not being fully in the closed position.

Solutions

1. With the door in the closed position, stick a small piece of cardboard between the door handle and the switch button and see if it heats up faster. If it does, you need to remove the top cover and adjust that button so that it is pushed in closer to the front panel when the door is closed. Do this by loosening the set-screw on the block where the button shaft attaches and turn the button head c-c-w
while testing the door and then tighten when properly adjusted to push in the switch a little past the click sound.
