CAUTION
The glass door and inner chamber become hot during sterilization.
Danger of burning.
Do NOT touch the glass door and inner surfaces during sterilization.
CAUTION
Interruption of the temperature reaction time.
Ineffective sterilization.
Do NOT open the unit doors during sterilization.
The sterilization cycle ends after approx. 12 hours, when the lower display shows “End”.

Turn off the unit or press “180 °C”, or open the outer door.
When the inner chamber has cooled down to a value below 60 °C / 140°F, turn off the unit and plug in
the CO
2
sensor.
The CO
2
sensor is temperature resistant up to a maximum temperature of 60 °C / 140°F.
Turn on the unit (chap. 5).
The unit is now ready to operate.
15.5 Aborting the hot-air sterilization
If the sterilization procedure is aborted prematurely, whether effective sterilization has occurred depends
on the time that has elapsed:
Aborting sterilization after less than 6 hours: Prevents effective sterilization.
Aborting sterilization after more than 6 hours: The unit is definitely in the cooling-down phase, meaning
that the necessary duration for the proper sterilization phase has occurred.
Aborting sterilization during the cooling-down phase (after more than 6 hours)
The duration of the entire sterilization is approx. 12 hours. If you want to shorten the sterilization proce-
dure in order to save time, you can abort it during the cooling-down phase, i.e. no sooner than after 6
hours. At this point, the inner temperature is still approx. 140 °C / 284°F.
