temperature and pressure reduction 

process.  As more lamps are illuminated,  

the exhaust valve opening increases.

When no lamp is illuminated, the exhaust 

valve is closed.

Cooling fan display

Displays the fan setting for cooling the 

chamber for the temperature and pressure 

reduction process and the temperature 

reduction process.  One or more fans are 

activated corresponding to the number of 

one or more illuminated lamps.

 

Indication lamp for the external 

temperature sensor for articles to be 

sterilized

Used when the optional external 

temperature sensor for articles to be  

sterilized is connected.

Timer indication lamp

Lights when timer is selected.

Lid indication lamp

The lid indication lamp lights up when 

the lid is opened or the door status is not 

confirmed by the lid open/close detection 

system.  While the lid indication lamp is 

illuminated the operation cannot start.

Lights when the exhaust bottle is removed. 

When the exhaust bottle indication lamp 

is illuminated, operation cannot start.

Low water level indication lamp

Lights when the water level of sterilizing  

water in the chamber is low.  When 

the low water level indication lamp is 

illuminated, operation cannot start.

Operation indication lamp

Lights up yellow during operation.  Lights 

up red when the pressure in the chamber 

is higher than the atmospheric pressure.

Temperature display

Displays the set temperature for the 

sterilizing or heating process during  

preparation.  Displays the temperature in 

the chamber during operation.

 

Time display

Displays the set time for the sterilizing 

or  heating process during preparation. 

During operation, displays the remaining 

time until the sterilizing or heating process 

is completed.  Displays the elapsed time  

during warming.

Warming/timer display

Displays the set temperature for the 

warming process.  When the [Timer] key 

is pressed, the waiting time is displayed.
