What follows is a phase by phase explanation of the execution of a sterilization cycle, using as
an example, the most complete and important cycle, the 134 POROUS/WRAPPED program.
This cycle is characterized by a fractionated pre-vacuum.
When the S T AR T button is pressed, the first phase is PREHEATING, which brings the
