Gorilla Sterilisers – Quick Reference Guide The Sterilisers are programmed to blow down the Steam Generator each night and start an Auto Warm Up cycle each morning. The Generator blow down will occur at around midnight unless the steriliser is in use, any loads still in the chamber will not be harmed during the blowdown. The steriliser will then shut down (deep sleep) until the Auto Warm Up starts around 6.30am. Loads that remain in the chamber during the warm up must be discarded. One steriliser will remain off on the weekend. Auto WarmUp A warm up cycle is not a sterilising cycle, sterilising parameters may not be achieved, When releasing the Warm Up the steriliser will prompt you to enter a code to acknowledge you are aware of this.
