Aborting sterilization after less than 4 hours
When aborting the sterilization prematurely, it may be that the cells/pathogens inside the unit have not all
been killed. You should repeat the sterilization.
CAUTION
Interruption of temperature reaction time.
Ineffective sterilization.

Repeat the sterilization.
CAUTION
Glass door and inner chamber become hot during sterilization.
Danger of burning.
∅
Do NOT touch the glass door and inner surfaces for approx. 7 hours after aborting
sterilization.
Following abortion of the sterilization cycle:
•
If necessary, repeat the sterilization.
• When the inner chamber has cooled down to a value below 60 °C / 140°F, turn on the unit (chap. 5).
18.3.4 End of the sterilization cycle
The effective sterilization phase (holding phase) is automatically finished after 4 hours..
This symbol on the controller display indicates a successful hot-air sterilization.
The sterilization cycle is now in the cooling down phase or in the subsequent holding phase of
37 °C / 98.6°F.
The inner chamber and parts inside can still be hot. Do not touch.
The defined cooling down phase lasts 6 hours until reaching 37 °C / 98.6°F and is followed by a holding
phase at 37 °C / 98.6°F of unlimited duration
If you prefer accelerating the cooling- down phase, proceed as follows:
• Turn off the unit.
• If required, open the outer door.
• Cooling-down time:
• Front door open: at least 1 hour
• Front door closed: at least 4 hours
• If required, open the glass door.
CAUTION
The glass door handle reaches a temperature of approx. 150 °C / 302 °F.
Danger of burning.

Use gloves or a tool (e.g. pincers) to open the glass door.
• When the inner chamber has cooled down to a value below 60 °C / 140°F, turn on the unit (chap. 5).
Note: in the case when two units are directly stacked on top of each other without using the original
BINDER stacking stand or the BINDER stacking adapter, the exact maintenance of the incubation set
parameters in one of the units while carrying out sterilization in the other one cannot be assured.
