Warnings
Warning messages are not malfunction messages. They help to ensure malfunction-free operation and to recognise
undesirable situations. Comply with these warning messages early in order to avoid malfunctions.
Malfunction messages
Malfunction messages are issued on the display with an event number. This number serves identification purposes. Mal-
function messages are issued when it is not possible to ensure safe operation or safety of sterilization. These can appear
on the display shortly after activating the steam sterilizer or during a program run.
If a malfunction occurs during a program run, the program will be aborted.
WARNING
Danger of infection from early program abort
Aborting a program before the drying phase begins means that the load is unsterile. This endangers the health
of your patients and practice team.
n Re-pack the load if necessary.
n Repeat the sterilization of the load.
