To test if water is working on a VHF E4 without running a job:
1. Open the working chamber door. 2. Ensure the cooling liquid tank is properly filled and inserted until it clicks into place. 3. Check that the cooling liquid tank is connected and not defective. 4. Observe for any water flow or leakage when the machine is powered on (but not running a job).
There is no specific test function mentioned, but ensuring proper setup and looking for water movement or flow can help confirm functionality.
