Verifying Performance
Before using the ELx405

Washer for the first time, verify that it is operating properly
by turning the washer on. The washer will automatically perform a System Self Test to
check the manifold, and manifold-to-carrier positioning. It also performs a magnetic
carrier load test on the Magna models.
You can also choose to run this test from the washer's front panel. To run the washer’s
System Self Test, follow the washer menu path shown below.
UTIL TESTS SLFCHK
If the test passes , the Main Menu will be displayed.
If the test fails , the washer will beep repeatedly and the display will show an error
code. If this happens, note the error code and then press the Stop key on the keypad to
stop the beeping. Refer to
Appendix B
,
Error Codes
, to determine its cause. If the
problem is something you can fix, turn off the washer, fix the problem, and then turn
the washer back on. If the cause is not something you can fix, contact Bio-Tek’s
Technical Assistance Center.
