STARTING THE CABINET 

The cabinet is switched on by the green rocker switch to the right of the control 
panel. If the safety screen is fitted the fluorescent light will come on and the fan 
will remain off. The fan will start when the safety screen is removed.

Fit the Safety Screen and turn the cabinet on. 
 
Press the UV button on the membrane panel to select the duration of the cycle. 

• 

1 Press = 5 minutes 

• 

2 Presses = 10 minutes 

•

• 

4 Presses = 20 minutes 

• 

5 Presses = 25 minutes 

• 

6 Presses = 30 minutes 

 
The UV pre-set timed cycle will start, the fluorescent light will switch off and the 
UV lamp will switch on. The red UV warning light on the membrane panel will 
flash to indicate the cycle selected – (1 flash = 5 minutes, 2 flashes = 10 
minutes etc.)  
 
When the UV timing cycle is finished, the UV light will switch off, the UV 
warning light will flash slowly and the audio will beep every 4 seconds to inform

A cycle may be interrupted at any time by pressing and holding the UV button. 
The audio beep will stop and the cabinet will return to normal mode.
