4.1. PRE-HEATING
When the autoclave is turned on, the pre-heating setting screen is displayed, set by default to ON with a time of 60’.
Depending on the user’s choice, it can be:
- PRE-HEATING not active (OFF)
- PRE-HEATING active (ON)
The pre-heating phase, depending on the user’s choice, can be modified from the menu “SETTINGS” -
“PREFERENCES” - “PRE-HEATING”.
With PRE-HEATING not active, the following components will not be powered nor activated:
- solenoid valves
- fans
- water pump
- vacuum pump
- chamber tube bundle heating element
- generator heating element
With PRE-HEATING active, the chamber tube bundle heating element is activated and managed through a
temperature control that allows keeping:
- chamber temperature at 50°C with open door
- chamber temperature at 100°C with closed door
When the device is started with PRE-HEATING active, the actual operation starts:
- after one successfully completed cycle (test cycle or sterilization cycle)
- after one aborted cycle (except in case of “vacuum test” cycle)
The pre-heating is disabled:
- when a cycle is performed with delayed start
- at the end of the set pre-heating time
