What does USB saving warning mean on W&H Steriliser?
If you're getting a warning about USB saving (HTML and SCL files) on your W&H Steriliser, the USB pen drive might not be connected or properly connected to the sterilizer. Check the connection of the USB pen drive. If the problem continues, contact service.
What does programmed maintenance warning mean on W&H Steriliser?
If you receive a warning about programmed maintenance on your W&H Steriliser, it indicates that a component needs to be replaced as part of the sterilizer's programmed maintenance. Contact service to order the necessary component, such as a door seal, dust filter, or bacteriological filter.
Why isn't my W&H Steriliser filling water automatically?
If your W&H Steriliser is connected to an automated water supply system and there's no clean water in the tank, but the automatic water filling isn't working, there could be a few reasons. First, ensure the water fill system is properly connected to the sterilizer. If the water fill system attempted to fill the tank when water was temporarily unavailable, switch the sterilizer OFF and then ON again, and check the external water supply system for any issues or leaks. If neither of these resolves the problem, there may be a faulty MIN water level sensor in the clean water tank, in which case you should call service.
