2. Screen #11 allows operator a final chance to continue with the current cycle
in progress instead of aborting cycle operation.
3. Press
ABORT
on screen #11. Printer records time the cycle was aborted.
• If cycle is aborted while pressure is in the chamber, cycle automatically
advances to the exhaust phase. Control system safely exhausts chamber
and removes vapors before unsealing the chamber door.
• If cycle is aborted while a vacuum is in the chamber, cycle automatically
advances to the air break phase. Control system safely relieves chamber
vacuum before unsealing the chamber door.

sterilizer may be unloaded.
IMPORTANT:
The operator/supervisor must decide if the chamber load must
be reprocessed after the cycle was aborted.
