Inlet (IN) clogged

Step

Description

1. Malfunction:

"Inlet clogged"

Cause: Medium cannot make its way into the vacuum chamber

Check locking features in the suction line. Open if blocked.

Check suction strainer and clean if necessary

To reset the failure, press the RESET key

Does malfunction reappear after

≈

4 minutes?

->a. Yes

-> proceed to Step 7.

->b. No

-> proceed to Step 8.
