OPERATION
Once the DDS 7000 is loaded, it is time to begin the sterilization process. Close the door by gently
pushing the door against the rubber door gasket and turning the knob counter-clockwise. This will
engage the cam lock, which pulls the door against the gasket, sealing the chamber.

Once the “Cycle Start” switch is pressed, the “warm up” LED lights up indicating that the DDS 7000 is
in the warm-up phase of the cycle.
The Safety Door Interlock engages as chamber exceeds 122ºF (50ºC). The lock activation is
indicated by a dot that appears in the lower right corner of the display. The device will
continue warm-up until the set point is reached. The time required for warm-up is
dependent on the size of the load.
