Correct any and all leaks as appropriate with power off to the machine.

Call Labconco Product Service (800-821-5525) if parts need to be

Inspect Overflow Sensor Contacts
If the base of the unit and the sensor contacts are dry and the Alarm is
still present, inspect the terminals.
The contacts (terminals) may not be isolated from the chassis or from each
other. This can be tested by checking the continuity with an Ohm meter. If
there is continuity between them, check to make sure they are installed on
top of each other and that they have plastic washers spaced between them and
that the insulation between the rings and the studs is still in place.
If corrections are needed at this point, contact Labconco Product Service for
support. Once these changes are made, restart the washer to see if the Alarm
has been corrected.
Once the system is verified to be free of leaks and the base dried out, turn
the unit on and verify that the alarm has been cleared and that the unit is
ready for service.
LIQ DETER & RINSE AID ALARMS
The PC Boards of the new washers are programmed to dispense and
measure the amount of liquid left in the detergent container. These
are standard functions of the FlaskScrubber® Vantage® and can be
activated on the FlaskScrubber® and SteamScrubber® when the Automatic
Detergent Dispenser/Pump is purchased and installed as an accessory.
When the liquid levels in these bottles are low the washer will
display the LIQ DETER and/or RINSE AID ALARMS. These alarms will also
show up if the PC Board is programmed with these options as “YES” when
they are not present in the unit’s set up. Follow the proper
procedures below to clear these alarms.
For FlaskScrubber® Vantages® and FlaskScrubber and SteamScrubber with the
Accessory Pump
1.
Open the latch to turn off the machine.
2.
Locate the container that is low, indicated by the alarm.
3.
Check the level of the fluid in the bottle and either adjust the pump’s
feeding tube or add liquid detergent/rinse aid to the appropriate level
in the dispensing bottle.
4.
When the machine is turned back on the alarms should be automatically
cancelled.
For FlaskScrubbers® and SteamScrubbers® without the Accessory Pump
1.
Open the handle by sliding the latch to the left.
