When using the external water storage
container:
a) Air is located in the intake line from the
storage container to the steam sterilizer.
b) The suction filter of the external water
storage container is soiled/blocked.
a) Check whether sufficient feed water is in
the storage container; the end of the intake
hose is submerged in water and that no air is
being drawn in. Please note that the
container may stand max. 1.5 m deeper than
the steam sterilizer otherwise water cannot
be drawn in.
b) Check whether the filter in the external
water storage container is soiled or blocked
and clean if necessary.
When using a water treatment unit:
c) The feed water inflow line between the
water treatment unit and the steam sterilizer
has a leak. Air is also taken in.
c ) Check whether the feed water inflow line
to the steam sterilizer has any leaks and has
been connected correctly.

The waste water cannot flow off. A rinse
must be performed after a further 2 or 3
program runs.
a) The outlet hose is kinked or installed
sagging.
b) The siphon or the building-side waste
water line is blocked.
c) The Quick-Program B and S are mainly
used. These programs do not do not have
automatic rinsing.
a) Check the installation of the outlet hose.
This must be installed without kinking or
sagging and at a constant decline.
b) Check whether the building siphon is
blocked. Please note: If multiple devices are
operated simultaneously, we recommend the
installation of an additional siphon.
c) Start another program e.g. the Universal-
Program, Gentle-Program or Prion-Program
to perform the necessary rinsing.

Poor feed water quality (conductivity ≥ 40 µS/cm).
When using the external water storage
container:
a) Water of insufficient quality e.g. tap water
was used.
When using the external water storage
container:
a) Empty and clean the container and fill it
with water of the required quality (EN 13060,
Appendix C).
When using a MELAG water treatment unit:
b) MELAdem 40: The mixed-bed resin
cartridge is exhausted..
c) MELAdem 47: The mixed-bed resin
cartridge, the pre-filter or the activated coal
filter is exhausted.
When using a MELAG water treatment unit:
b) MELAdem 40: Replace the MELAdem 40
mixed-bed resin cartridge in accordance with
the applicable operating manual.
c) MELAdem 47: Replace the mixed-bed
resin cartridge and if necessary, the pre-filter
and activated carbon filter of the MELAdem
47 in accordance with the applicable
operating manual. Empty the pressure tank
(if possible until it is half full) and wait until it
has been filled again. An empty pressure
tank requires c. 1 hour to fill.
Please note: The notification may also
continue to be shown after the filter has been
changed until the water remaining in the
pressure tank has been consumed.
