1. Press the POWER key on the control panel. The "Select Program" screen (see Figure
20) will appear on the monitor after approximately one minute.
2. Flip down the Touchpad located below the Control Panel Keypad.
Note: If the machine is filled with disinfectant or Rinse is the only option that appears in the
"Select Program" screen, the machine must complete a rinse cycle before being used for
treatment. Select Rinse to start the rinse cycle. Upon completion of rinse cycle test the
machine for any residual disinfectant according to the established guidelines of the facility.
Note: During the power up sequence a message is displayed for a few seconds: "Press
Confirm for Service Mode". If this is done, the machine enters the calibration screens
instead of the "Select Program" screen.

the bibag disposable.
2. Open the bibag door on the machine by lifting up on the dark-gray handle.
3. With the white bibag handle facing outward, hang the bag on the bibag connector
nozzles.
4. Close the door, making sure it latches firmly in place. An audible click means the
door is closed.
Note: The bibag disposable must hang freely below the bibag connector. Make certain that
there are no jugs or other objects obstructing or touching the bibag disposable.
