Original instructions
If during a run the “STOP” button is pressed, the timers remember the time at
which stop occurred. If “RUN” is then pressed, the timers continue to count
down from the time at which they were stopped. If you are running program 1,
program 2 or program 3, pressing “PROG 1,” “PROG 2” or “PROG 3” resets the
timers to the original set point time and the CentriVap starts a new run.
To reset the timers to the original set point time when running programs other
than program 1, program 2 or program 3, press the start button and hold it for five
seconds. The display will indicate that the timer is reset.
