• Charge
– Chamber charges with steam to the programmed sterilize
temperature.
• Sterilize
– Sterilize phase begins when chamber temperature is equal to
or greater than the programmed sterilize temperature. Chamber tempera-
ture is printed every 2 minutes (or printed after each programmed print
interval). The steam-to-jacket valve is regulated to maintain the chamber
at the sterilize control temperature (control temperature = sterilize tem-
pe overdrive temperature).
