AUTOCLAVE....??How long does it take?

. So i have this new Autoclave

I connected it, and it is filled with the amount of water asked for (3.5 liters)

But how long Does it take for it to heat up,

It says im suppose to wait till it heats up enough that steam shoots out the valve, and then Just close the valve and start counting the sterilization time from there on...

But how long does it take before the Steam starts to shoot out of the valve????????

Sterilization mostly occurs above 121C. The steam shooting out is at 100C.

Time to steam depends on energy input rate.
