5.4 Setting the Rinsing Water Flow Rate

First set a staining time of 60 seconds. To do this, press
MENU once, and then press the PLUS or MINUS key re-
peatedly until a processing time of 60 seconds is displayed.

To set the flow rate for the rinsing water, proceed as follows:

Once the flow rate is adjusted properly, press the
PAUSE/STOP key twice, and then press the ENTER key to
reinitialize the mechanism when prompted by the instrument.

DO NOT adjust the flow rate too high. This can cause
spills on the platform to the next stain station or can
overflow the drain area of the stainer.

Operation

Now slowly turn on the tap to which the supply hose is con-
nected, and adjust the flow rate so that water flows into the
rinsing water container at a sufficient rate and the rinsing
water can drain without obstruction.

Then press the ENTER key to confirm this processing time.

Now press RUN. The countdown of station time will be dis-
played while the rinse water valve inside the unit activates.
