90 °C decontamination routine procedure
Figure 18 – 90 °C decontamination routine procedure
The routine is divided into four phases. Each individual phase or several phases can be canceled
(i.e. skipped). If the operating step “Cancel decontamination routine” is executed, the routine
moves to the next program phase. To cancel the routine completely, the operating step must be
executed repeatedly until the remaining run time display shows the value 0. When the glass door is
opened, this operating step cancels the routine completely.
