When the program is running
After the start of the program, you can monitor its progress in the
display. When the program is running, the different steps are shown
on the display.
Any remaining water is first rinsed out before a new cleaning cycle begins.
A pre-wash takes place with water that does not contain
any processing media and is temperature-controlled. This
serves to mechanically remove any large organic particles
adhering to the instruments. Any proteins remaining on the
instruments must be removed entirely in order
to prevent denaturation caused by water temperatures that are too high.
This is where the actual cleaning cycle begins. The washing chamber is
heated continually to a temperature specified by the program and the
temperature maintained during the maintenance time.
The processing medium is added automatically before the maintenance time
begins.
An intermediate rinse takes place as a preparatory step before
disinfection, in order to reduce the concentration of any remaining
processing media.
Disinfection
A thermal disinfection with water takes place in this step.
Drying
Finally, the instruments are dried on the inside and outside by
opening the door.
Narrow-necked instruments must be dried manually.
You can monitor the current progress of the program currently running
on the display and the current time remaining.
