FILLING DISTILLED
WATER
Manual filling
Automatic filling
The first time the sterilizer is used or when the MIN water level indicator comes on, you will
have to fill, or top-off, the internal distilled water tank.
With reference to the figure (and with the door open), follow these steps:
1. Fill the manual container (2 litres/ 0.52 US gal)
with distilled water, keeping it horizontal.
2. Connect the tube’s quick connector to the
corresponding female connector under the
chamber entrance (marked ), pushing until
you hear a click.
3. Place the container in a vertical position and
loosen the cap and taking care not to spill water
on the machine.
4. The water will begin to flow into the tank.
5. Continue filling until the MIN level indicator turns off or the MAX level indicator turns on.
6. At this point, lower the bottle below the connection point on the unit, keeping it horizontal.
7. While pinching the tube with your fingers press the metal lever on the side of the connector
and detach the quick connector.
8. Refill the container (2 litres/ 0.52 US gal) and repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 a second time until
the MAX level icon appears on the display.
9. When the MAX level icon comes on (accompanied by a beep), stop filling and detach the
quick connector as described in steps 6 and 7.
THE MAX ICON DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ON TO START A STERILIZATION PROGRAM.
THERE IS SUFFICIENT WATER IF THE MIN INDICATOR IS OFF.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO FILL ONCE M A X I C O N AP P E AR S AN D YO U HEAR A BEEP. DOING
SO MAY CAUSE WATER TO DRAIN FROM THE UNIT’S WATER TANK DRAINING POINT AT THE
BACK OF THE MACHINE.
THE AUTOMATIC FILLING SYSTEM MUST NEVER RUN DRY. THIS WILL
CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR TO THE AUXILIARY WATER-INJECTION
PUMP. PERIODICALLY CHECK THE WATER LEVEL IN THE EXTERNAL
TANK.
IF AUXILARY WATER-INJECTION PUMP RUNS DRY, THIS MAY BE AN
INDICATION OF AN EMPTY EXTERNAL WATER TANK, AND THE UNIT
WILL DISPLAY A CYCLE FAULT A040. TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE
UNIT AND FILL THE EXTERNAL BOTTLE WITH DISTILLED WATER. THEN
TURN THE UNIT POWER ON.
