This function is deactivated in the device’s as-delivered state. Setting the required Use the air temperature potentiometer (10) to setpoint set the required temperature.
After a drive motor overload, you must reset the electronics in order to continue working. To do this, you must disconnect the FUSION 1 from the power by pulling out the power plug. 9.1 LCD display for warnings and error messages...
Drive overload, switch off FUSION 1, disconnect power plug, and allow FUSION 1 to cool down. Try again with a higher Error prewarming temperature. If the error keeps occurring, contact the Service Center. The drive for output regulation is not reaching the setpoint Warning speed.
The carbon brushes of the blower are used up after approx. 550 operating hours and must then be replaced at your Leister Service Center. To protect the heating element, the heater is no longer activated if the carbon minimum length is undercut.
