Carefully inspect the chimneys in the wash station to ensure that they are:
•
In good condition and free of deformities. The chimneys must not be
damaged, such as those shown in the figure (possibly from a head
collision).
•
Of equal height. When the chimneys are fully seated in the wash station
their height should be consistent (less than 1 mm difference in height).
If any chimney is taller than the others, use your thumb to press down on
the chimney so that it touches the bottom surface (hard stop) of the wash
station. Use care when seating the chimney to avoid damaging it.
Good condition chimneys and consistent chimney height are critical for proper
wash station function. To replace damaged chimneys, see the
