Problem
Unit does not power ON.
There is water under
the machine.
Instruments do not dry.
Solution
Check that the unit is plugged into a properly grounded
outlet and that the power cord is firmly seated at the rear of
the machine.
Try another power outlet. Power unit OFF for 10 seconds
and then power ON again.
Check the condition of the line circuit breaker or fuse.
Check that water was not spilled when refilling the reservoir.
Make sure the plug in the exhaust tube is secured. Remove
and reinsert the cassette. Attempt another cycle.
Be careful. The cassette and / or contents may be hot and
contain hot steam.
The cassette is leaking. If water drips from the underside
of the unit during operation, check the cassette seal for
misalignment or damage and replace the seal if required.
Be careful. The cassette and / or contents may be hot and
contain hot steam.
Attempt another cycle. If it still leaks attempt another cycle
using a different cassette if possible.
If the leak persists, turn the unit OFF, remove and unload
the cassette, unplug the unit, and call your dealer.
Best drying occurs when the cycle continues to completion.
Allow the cycle to finish. Make sure the instruments are
loaded correctly in the cassette.
Check to ensure the unit is place on a level working surface.
Clean the inside of the cassette and treat with Stat-Dri
drying agent. Refer to section 5.1 Cleaning the Cassette.
Examine the exhaust tube (tube to the waste bottle) for
kinks. 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.
Adjust the drying time via the user menu.
