Advanced Ultra-Violet Systems fully authorized source will cause failure in the
disinfection cycle. This may result in electrical failure that is not covered under
warranty and will cause premature device failure. Use of any bulbs other than those
provided by the manufacturer is prohibited. In order to replace a bulb or a quartz
rod, follow these instructions:
