Sterilizer Manufacturer:
Pelton & Crane
Model of Sterilizer:
OCR
Problem Title:
will not increase temp & pressure in dry heat mode
Problem Description:
We have an OCR+ sterilizer, and in the dry mode, it will not increase any temperature & pressure as instructed. In the regular steam mode, it was working fine to reach to the green zone on both the temp and psi gauge. Need to know if I am missing the door adapter or something that will make it work in the regular mode. Thanks.
Reasons
1. When set to dry, there should be no water in the chamber...it should already have been vented and is usually run with the door cracked open after a sterilization cycle.

Solutions

1. This is normal. No pressure or temp will read on the gages because it only brings the temperature up high enough to dry.
