Difficulty: EasyDirect Fact Retrieval

Field medical personnel use portable steam autoclaves to sterilize surgical instruments in remote operating environments. Before starting the heating cycle, technicians must fill the primary reservoir exclusively with distilled water up to the marked fill line. According to operating guidelines, the automated sterilization timer begins its countdown only after the internal chamber pressure reaches 15 pounds per square inch (psi).

Based on the passage, technicians are required to fill the primary reservoir exclusively with distilled water before starting the heating cycle.
