ter steps can be disabled.
The following characteristics of each step can be edited:
• Reagent name - only those reagents that are compatible with the re-
agent station being edited will be displayed.
• Number of cycles - the duration displayed is calculated based on
the number of cycles.
• Retort temperature - temperatures from 50 to 65 °C can be set.
Station 13-ext
• The term “13-ext“ stands for an additional station which can be used
instead of station 13.
• Station 13 always contains cleaning water.
• If a program contains a “13-ext“ step, during the clean cycle the op-
erator is prompted to insert bottle “13-ext“ when needed, and to re-
move the bottle as soon as the step has been completed.
Only reagents belonging to the cleaning water group can be al-
located to station 13-ext.
Station 13-ext may be used for clean programs only.
