The functional description will start by presenting the basic functions of the
VARIOKLAV Type 25 T benchtop sterilizers. In addition, you will find here a
description of the expansion options.
The VARIOKLAV Type 25 T benchtop sterilizer is microprocessor-controlled. This
means that sterilization can proceed without supervision. You must set the desired
sterilizing program on the control panel (5).
The P
1
, P

, and P
3
program keys (18) are preset for programs for different types of
sterilizing items. The program settings can only be changed permanently
(configured) when the key-operated switch is turned to the configuration position
(“Konfig.”) (see Chapter 9).
Once the program has started, the sterilizing chamber is first closed automatically.
The control panel (door indicator, 20) indicates the electronic and mechanical door
lock (yellow). Now the sterilizing chamber is sealed with the pneumatic door seal:
the inflatable seal is pressed onto the door using pressurized air.
The sterilizing chamber (8) is automatically heated and deaerated. At a chamber
temperature of 96 °C, the sterilizing chamber (8) is again deaerated for further 3
