5. THE VOLCANO MED IC HOT AIR GENER ATOR

5.4. Commissioning

Do not leave the device unat-
tended while it is being opera-
ted. Put the Hot Air Generator
on a flat and stable surface.
Check whether the mains voltage cor-
responds to the voltage rating stated
on the device. The power cord and
the plug must be in perfect condition.
Only connect the Hot Air Generator to
a properly installed socket. The man-
ufacturer will not bear any responsibil-
ity whatsoever if this accident preven-
tion measure is not taken.
The device is safely disconnected
from the mains only when the plug is
removed from the socket.
When the power plug is plugged in,
the LED display of the device lights
up briefly. At the same time, an inter-
nal software query is performed. The
green dot on the display shows that
the Hot Air Generator is connected to
the power supply.

5.5. Heating Up

To switch on the heater, push the but-
ton labeled "HEAT". The set/actual
temperature will light up, signaling
that the heater is switched on. At the
same time, the yellow control lamp
will light up to indicate that the device
is heating up. The upper, red display
shows the actual temperature in the
Filling Chamber with the air pump
switched on, and the lower, green
display shows the desired set tem-
perature. The heating process is com-
pleted when the set value is equal to
the actual value. Heating up can take
up to 5 minutes depending upon the
chosen temperature. After the heating
process is completed, the tempera-
ture is constantly maintained at the
set value. The luminous intensity of
the yellow control lamp corresponds
to the intensity of the heating process.
For technical reasons the
temperature in the Filling
Chamber cannot be meas-
ured during vaporization. During op-
eration the temperature is measured
at the heat exchanger. The display in-
dicates the reference values for the
attached Filling Chamber with the air
pump switched on.

5.6. Temperature Setting

Actual temperature

button
When you press the plus button, the
set value is increased, and when you
press the minus button, the set value
is decreased.
When you briefly tap on the plus or
minus button, the set values are in-
creased or decreased respectively in
1-degree increments.
If you keep the plus or minus button
pressed, the set values start running
continuously in the corresponding di-
rection.
If you simultaneously tap on the plus
button and the minus button, the dis-
play changes from degree Celsius to
degree Fahrenheit and vice versa.
If the actual value is higher
than the set value, you can
speed up the cooling down
process by switching on the air pump.

30 minutes after the last time
a button is pressed, the devi-
ce automatically switches off.
As long as the heater has a substan-
tial amount of residual warmth, the
temperature is displayed until it drops
below +40°C (+104°F).
Then the display turns off, and the
green dot on the display indicates that
the Hot Air Generator is connected to
the mains supply.
The device is safely discon-
nected from the mains only
when the plug is removed
from the socket.
