Opening the outer door leads to prematurely terminating the running sterilization cycle. If this happens
during the heating up or holding phase (during 4 hours after starting the sterilization cycle), sterilization
will be ineffective (chap. 21.3.4.1).
CAUTION
Opening the outer door during the heating up or holding phase.
Interruption of the temperature reaction time.
Ineffective sterilization.
∅ Do NOT open the chamber doors during the heating up or holding phase of the
sterilization cycle
CAUTION
Glass door and inner chamber become hot during sterilization.
Danger of burning.
∅ Do NOT touch the glass door and inner surfaces during sterilization
Note: Since the stored sterilization program cannot be changed, it is not accessible via the program path
Main menu > Programs > Time program
The sterilization program must not be interrupted using the Program pause icon.
CAUTION
Pausing the sterilization program during the heating up or holding phase.
Interruption of the temperature reaction time.
Ineffective sterilization.
∅ DO NOT interrupt a running sterilization program during the heating up or holding
phase of the sterilization cycle.
If necessary, repeat the sterilization.
21.3.4 Prematurely terminating the sterilization cycle
Three events lead to terminating the sterilization cycle prematurely:
• Cancelling the program via the controller menu
To prematurely terminate the sterilization cycle via the controller menu, press the Program cancelling
icon and confirm the confirmation prompt with the Confirm icon (chap. 9.2.2).
• Opening the outer door
• Turning off the chamber at the main power switch, or a power failure
Prematurely terminating the sterilization cycle means terminating it before the entire 10-hour duration is
completed. Whether effective sterilization has occurred depends on the time that has elapsed before.
