Operational Notes
Turn the mode switch to “OFF” before turning the power switch off. When the
CentriVap micro IR power is turned on, the program returns to the same mode
that it was in when the power was turned off. The timer will reset.
Pressing the “START/STOP” during a run will turn the system off and reset the
timer. Pressing it again will restart the program from the beginning.

and select “RUN.” The cycle resumes operation at the same set point parameters
and the timer continues to count down from the time at which the cycle was
stopped.
