Operating mode For thermal disinfection, the temperature at the reference sensor will be moni- tored. Protection is ensured when, during the monitoring period, the disinfection temperature is continuously exceeded for the entire disinfection period. The monitoring period starts as soon as the temperature at the reference sensor falls below the disinfection temperature.
