stage, it will leave the load unsterilized.

At the end of the aborted process (before completing the sterilization
stage),
"Cycle Failed"
message, error message and a warning
symbol
are displayed on the screen. Refer to "Displayed Error
Messages/Symbols".

key cancels the displayed message and
enables opening the door.

If the door is not opened, the vacuum pump will stop automatically
after 30 minutes (ELPV model only).

The load has not completed a sterilization cycle, therefore it is
not sterile. Handle it as contaminated load.
