As soon as the ideal temperature for the sterilization is reached, the
autoclave will begin the sterilization stage, it will beep once and the
indicative LED Sterilizing will light, remaining like that for 16 minutes
(Fig. 21).
Note 1: For altitudes above 2.000 meters, the sterilization time will be
20 minutes. In case the autoclave does not reach the ideal
pressure/temperature for the sterilization within 60 minutes, due to lack
of water, overloaded chamber or leakage, the cycle will be
automatically canceled. Fluctuations in the voltage of the power
supply may also cause the cancellation of the cycle at any time.
Note 2: In case the autoclave does not work when the START key is
pressed, see “Troubleshooting” (Page 21).

At the end of the sterilization, the solenoid valve will open producing a characteristic click sound, the autoclave will
beep once and depressurize. When the depressurization is over, the indicative LEDs bar will show pressure “0”. Next,
the autoclave will beep 10 times and begin the drying stage, the indicative LED Heating/Drying will flash (Fig. 20,
page 13). At this moment, the operator must open the door of the autoclave and leave it ajar for the drying
cycle (Fig. 22);
Note: During the heating and drying stages, the solenoid valve makes a humming noise, similar to the one produced
by electric motors.
ATTENTION! Even after the beeps that indicate the conclusion of the cycle (the End of Cycle/Standby LED will be
flashing), the contents of the chamber will still be very hot. Never touch the internal parts of the autoclave directly
(chamber, trays, materials, etc.) when hot, wait for them to be cool enough before handling. Remember to use
safety gloves for thermal protection. Wait from 15 to 20 minutes for cooling before initiating a new cycle.
At the end of the drying stage, the autoclave will beep once and the LED End of Cycle/Standby will be flashing
continuously. In order to finalize the process and bring the system back to the standby mode, press the CANCEL key;
Turn the equipment off after use. To do that, just unplug the autoclave.

ATTENTION!
When opening the autoclave for drying, observe the correct
position of the door in the picture. The autoclave Vitale
dries with the door ajar, its opening is necessary to allow
steam evaporation, this will provide an efficient drying process).
