Solution
If kinked, straighten the tube. If the tube cannot be
straightened, remove it from the push-in fitting
attached to the STATIM. Depress the collar on the
fitting and with the other hand pull firmly on the tube.
Once the tube is free of the fitting, cut the damaged
section of tubing away using a sharp instrument.
Be sure that you leave enough tube to reach the unit
when you re-attach the tube to the exhaust fitting.
If the tube is too short to remove a section, contact
your SciCan dealer for a replacement.
Make sure the compressor is working. To check,
remove the exhaust tube from the waste bottle.
Start the Air Drying Only Cycle, and place the free
end into a glass of water. If there is not a strong,
steady flow of bubbles, the compressor is not
functioning properly. Contact your SciCan dealer.
Wait a few minutes and attempt another cycle before
proceeding to the next solution. Remove the cassette.
Be careful. The metal parts will be hot and the
cassette will contain hot steam. Inspect the cassette
to ensure that the holes in the back of the seal are
perfectly aligned, and that the flexible lip of the seal is
completely free. Check the exhaust tube for kinks or
obstructions. If kinked, straighten the tube.
If the tube cannot be straightened, remove it from the
push-in fitting attached to the STATIM. Depress the
collar on the fitting and, with the other hand pull firmly
on the tube. Once the tube is free of the fitting, cut
the damaged section of tubing away using a sharp
instrument. Be sure that you leave enough tube to
reach the unit when you re-attach the tube to the
exhaust fitting. If the tube is too short to remove a
section, contact your SciCan dealer for a replacement.
Check that the STATIM has not inadvertently been
exposed to any electrical interference.
Refer to section 3.1 Positioning your Unit.
Try running another cycle. If the problem persists,
record the cycle fault message number and contact
your dealer.
