Operating Phases of Steri-Run sterilization:
The displayed remaining run time of the Steri-Run sterilization routine describes the time between the
start or the current time status to the end of the cool-down phase. The indicated remaining run times
are not measured values but merely used for estimation.

The routine is divided into three phases:
1. Heating phase,
2. Sterilization phase,
3. Cool-down.
Heating phase: approx. 2 h.

The workspace is heated up to 180 °C.

The incubator locks the door when the workspace temperature surpasses 65°C.
Sterilization phase: approx. 1.5 h.

After the sterilization temperature has been reached, the sterilization phase of approx. 90 minutes is
started. The temperature is maintained at 180 °C.
Cool-down phase: approx. 8 h.

The device cools down until the originally set temperature set value is reached.

The door lock is released automatically when the temperature in the workspace drops below 65°C.
