.
The machine will go through an automatic test process and if it is fitted with autofill, will fill
with water. Provided all is correct the machine will display the current time and the message
'Waiting for start'. The machine will start when the preset time is reached.
If the delayed start is pressed accidentally, press it again to turn the function off.
Note
The delayed start time is not part of the program and has to be entered whenever required.
Standby
This button only functions on some machines. To speed up the heating process it is possible
for the machine to maintain the water at a preset temperature, in the case of in chamber
heated machines the water will be maintained at 40C, this function can be turned on or off for
each individual program so that sensitive loads will not be effected by prolonged heat
exposure. The standby button allows manual override of this function. If the Standby
indicator is alight then the water will be maintained at this temperature.
Program set up
Any of the 25 programs can be changed to suit your specific needs. If the Smart card
function has been enabled then you will require a card that has valid access to the program
you wish to change (see section regarding Smart cards for further details).
Program changes must be carried out while the machine is in standby (Displaying
Select
prog.
) Any changes to a program will be automatically saved when they are changed,
changes made at the slave end will be passed back to the master end when the program is
started. When setting times they are displayed in minutes except for the sterilise time which
is in hours and minutes, temperature is always in degrees centigrade. Note that some
functions described may not operate on your machine; if they are disabled then you will not
be able to select them.
To make changes to the program select the required program number using the up and down
keys then press the Enter key (5) to return to the Select prog screen now press the Options
key (5) to display the options menu with the arrow alongside the ‘change program’ function,
press the Select key (5) again to display the Program settings function, the current ‘free steam
temperature’ will be displayed, use the buttons marked select (1 & 2) to scroll through all the
different program options available and use the adjust keys (3 & 4) to change the set value, if
either key is held down the value will start to index rapidly. Note that some of the items
listed may not be available on your machine and will not therefore be displayed.
If no keys are pressed for a short while the display will return to the ‘Select prog’ screen,
parameters are as follows:
Free steam time: Controls the duration of free steaming, the maximum time is 60 minutes
NOTE Extended free steam periods could result in a low water lock out.
Ramp up time: For sensitive loads it is possible to limit the rate of temperature rise from the
free steam temperature to the Sterilise temperature. Set the time in minutes that you require
the system to take to heat up or set to zero to enable the fastest rate of heating. Note that the
machine cannot heat instantly, setting a time that is equal to or less than the maximum rate
that the machine can heat up will have the same effect as setting to zero (ie if it takes 10
