the temperature and pressure of the sterilization chamber as well as the time until the end of sterilization / the drying time
which has passed.

Sterilization
The sterilization phase is unsuccessful if the user or the system (responding to an malfunction) aborts the program run. A
system abort returns the sterilization chamber to a pressureless state.
If the user aborts, a warning appears. If the program is aborted by the system, a malfunction message will be displayed.
Drying phase
The regular drying time is approx. 1 min for the Quick-Program S and approx. 8-9 min for all other programs.
The steam sterilizer provides excellent drying of the }load. If difficult-
to-dry items require better drying, you can improve drying as follows:
1. Always use the package holder for wrapped instruments.
2. Activate Additional drying, see Selecting additional drying
[}page34].
