reservoir is not enough.
Page 12 of 17
CHAPTER 5. WARNING & CAUTION
12. Please attend the “LOW WATER” as follows:
a. The water in water reservoir is not enough, please pull the water in.
(PLEASE DON’T POUR WATER TO OVER THE “FULL” SIGN IN THE WATER
RESERVOIR, BECAUSE IT STILL HAVE A LOT OF WATER IN THE CHAMBER,
WILL RETURN AFTER STERILZATION.)
b. The water level sensor have problem. Please clean the surface of the sensor. And try
again. If the indicator still light-on, please call the engineer to check it.
13. The
!
DANGER ( OVER HEAT / PRESSURE ) indicator light-on, that means the
main Heater over heat and out of control. Please call the engineer to check it. Of course,
at the same time all the power in the machine will be cut-off immediately.
14. Please keep the chapter and gasket clean.
15. Please don’t forget to put in the sterilization indicators, before sterilization. And don’t
