•To disable a step, set the number of cycles to “0“. Only cleaning wa- 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.
