Selecting the program
Select by rotating between the initial state and the desired program with the program selection key 'P'.
Select the sterilization program according to whether and how the }load is packed. Also note the temperature resistance
of the load.
The following table shows which program is to be selected for which load.

Selecting automatic preheating
Automatic preheating is activated in delivery state.
If preheating is activated, the cold chamber is heated up to the preheating temperature of the particular program before
program start, or this temperature is held between two program runs. This reduces program times and the accretion of
condensation, thus improving drying results.
PLEASE NOTE
The steam sterilizer must remain continually activated for the automatic preheating.
MELAG recommends activating the automatic preheating function.
To alter this setting proceed as follows:
1. Select the Function menu by pressing the '+' and '-' keys
simultaneously until the display showsFunction:Last
batch number.
2. Navigate using the '+' or '-' keys until the display shows
Function: Autom. preheating.
