5. The instrument will now drain the chamber(s).
Monitor the drain progress in the status panel. Wax drains may take up to three minutes.
When the drain completes, the chamber state will be Empty.
6. To stop wax solidifying in the drain hose, promptly remove the hose from the drained wax.
At any time during the drain you can tap the Abandon button to terminate all current and pending
fill/drain operations.
WARNING
The wax leaving the waste wax line will be hot and may cause burns. Make sure the wax drains
to a suitable container and stand clear while it drains.
WARNING
Do not remove the wax drain container or hose until the software indicates that the drain has
completed. A cessation of wax flow is not an indication that the drain procedure is complete.
If no wax drains it is likely that the wax hose is blocked. If you remove a blocked hose before
the drain is abandoned hot wax will spurt from the front of the instrument. Abandon the drain
before removing the hose and melting the wax with hot water.
