Technical data
18
(9) DN
Pressing these keys in combination with TEMP. (5), STE
TIME (6), DRY Time (7) and CLOCK (9) lowers these
values.
(10) CLOCK
Pressing the CLOCK programming key displays the date,
with the cursor under the day. Pressing the UP or DN keys
changes the date. Pressing the CLOCK key again moves the
cursor to the month, then year and then time (hour, minute,
second). At this point the display shows the currently set date
and time. If no key is pressed during a 10-second interval, the
system exits the clock-programming mode and returns to the
current program display.
(11) Water Inlet
Pressing
this
key
continuously,
allows
for
manual
filling
of the
chamber with water. Once the key is released the water pump
stops, the fill valve closes and water stops entering the
chamber.
(12) START
Pressing this key starts the sterilization (or DRY ONLY)
process according to the selected program. Water flows
automatically into the chamber, HEAT and STE. stages
commence and the respective LED indicator lights up.
On completion of the sterilization program the Exhaust stage
will automatically begin, at the end of which a Drying stage
(if previously programmed) will initiate. The respective LED
indicators light up, indicating which stage is operating. Once
all
stages
have
been
completed, the final indicator
extinguishes and the screen displays the “Cycle Finished”
message.
The process will not start if:
• The door is not closed and the DOOR CLOSED
indicator is off.
• The “DOOR UNLOCK” message is displayed.
Note:
Due to inherent elasticity of the door gasket, the CLOSE
DOOR indicator may be illuminated green before a
complete seal is made between the door and the chamber.
Therefore, in order to ensure the door is fully sealed,
tighten the door bolt until ‘hand tight’. Do not
overtighten the bolt as this may result in damage to the
gasket. Should the autoclave fail to reach sterilizing
temperature/pressure, always check first if the door is
fully sealed. If not, tighten the door further, as described
above, until completely sealed.
• There is not enough water in the reservoir, (the red
ADD WATER indicator lights and the “ADD
WATER” message is displayed).
