Page 20: Altitude Adjustment
Altitude Adjustment For proper operation, the sterilizer program accounts for the altitude in controlling certain functions. The sterilizer is shipped with a factory-set altitude value suitable for all alti- tudes up to an altitude of 1000 feet above sea level. If your altitude is above 1000 feet above sea level, you will need to enter a new value for the altitude adjustment. -
