Automated Wash Cycle
The automated wash cycle consists of the stages Pre-wash, Wash, Rinse, Final Rinse/Disinfection,
Cooling and Drying. Every stage of the cycle is configured by the Program Parameters stored in the
machines memory (see section 3-5-1). These parameters allow the cycle to be customised to select
the fill water type, skip stages, repeat stages, control temperature set points, set stage duration etc.
During a cycle, the remaining time for each stage will be shown on the right hand side of the display,
and the temperature/pump pressure on the left.
