Operation fault
The prerequisites for getting power and water into
the steam cylinder are as follows:
- on/off/drain switch must be switched on
- control circuit 8-10 must be made
- modulation humidistat, if present, must be calling
- control circuit 82-83 must be made
- control circuit 84-85 must be made
- cabinet mounted humidistat, if present, must be
calling
- door interlock switch must be made (interlock switch
can be pulled out to operate unit)
Most water does not contain enough conductivity
for full boil on initial start-up. Units will need to
concentrate the water over a time period (hours to
days). During this process both lights are on.

switch is first pushed on. The microcomputer pc board
will check the system components, display in words
what it is doing and provide a message if any faults
are found. The start-up self-test sequence will be
displayed as follows:
