Screens

6.1 Screens following a completely successful cycle –

"Cycle Ended"

6.2 Screens following aborted cycles after complete

sterilization stage

The sterilization phase ended successfully – cycle ended and the

reason of failure is displayed
For example the next two scenarios:

6.2.1

Canceled by user after complete sterilization stage

The cycle ended successfully, the reason for aborted cycle is

displayed.

1. System Ready

2. Pulse Low (ELPV

model only)

3. Pulse High (1/1)

(ELPV model only)

4. Heating

5. Sterilization

6. Exhaust

7. Drying (ELPV

model only)

8. Ending

9. Cycle Ended
