- Adjustable cycle programs give the user full control in setting the right combination of water temperature, detergent and rinse aid amounts, wash and rinse times, and number of rinses.
- Memory stores both factory set and user set programs for reproducible protocols.
- The RS-232 port provides a means to document settings and actual washing conditions.
- The unique viewing window with light lets you see each cycle in progress.
- Temperatures up to 93° C (199° F) may be programmed for wash and rinse cycles to remove lipids and sanitize glassware.
- Up to 6 purified water rinses may be programmed to ensure that no water soluble contaminants are introduced.
