TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Most operational malfunctions are not caused by faulty equipment but rather by improper installation or disregard

for planning guidelines. Therefore, a complete fault diagnosis always involves a thorough examination of the entire
system. Often, the steam hose connection has not been properly executed or the fault lies with the humidity control
system. The following table gives a list of possible malfunctions, the appropriate alarm or error message, details of
their cause, and notes on how to deal with each problem.
