Frequency of sterilization
Pause times between the individual programs are not necessary, as the sterilization chamber is main-
tained permanently at the same temperature. After the end/abort of the drying time and removal of the
sterile material, you can load the steam sterilizer again and start a new program.
Duration of the operating pause
Duration of the operating pause Measure
Short pauses between two sterilization
processes
▪ Keep the door closed to save energy
▪ Set the energy-saving mode correspondingly
Pauses which last longer than an hour ▪ Switch off the steam sterilizer
Longer pauses e.g. over night or the
weekend
▪ Open the door and switch off the steam sterilizer
▪ Leave the door ajar to prevent premature wear and the
sticking of the door seal
Longer than two weeks ▪ Perform a vacuum test
▪ After a successful vacuum test, perform an empty
sterilization run in Quick-Program S
After pauses, perform the checks described in chapter Function tests [}page43] depending on the length
of pause.
