We recommend the following sterilizing times:
20 min for sterilization at 121 °C (liquids: solutions and culture media; solids:
glassware and instruments);
20 min for sterilization at 134 °C (destructive sterilization: waste).
Disinfection or steaming times will be governed by the type of articles you want to
disinfect or steam.
The feed water supply is limited; it will determine the maximum disinfection or
steaming times.

To facilitate longer sterilizing times, the steam sterilizer can be equipped with the water post-feed
expansion option. In this manner, it is possible to implement sterilizing and steaming times of up to
999 minutes (
∞
for the climatic chamber design). The feed water tank level must be checked at regular
intervals.
