8-2. ERROR CODE TABLE

Error code Cause CountermeasuresEr1 The sterilizing water is insufficient. Add tap water.

The water level sensor is contaminated. Clean the water level sensor.Pure water is used for sterilizing water. Use tap water for sterilizing water.The temperature of the sterilizing water is extremely

low.

Pess the CHECK key for approximately 30 seconds to

increase the water temperature.Er2 The exhaust valve is open. Turn the exhaust valve knob clockwise to close the valve.Er3 The temperature of the outer wall of the chamber is

abnormally high during sterilizing.

Unplug the power cord and contact your dealer or the

nearest TOMY office.Er4 The volume of chamber water becomes insufficient

during sterilizing.

Add sterilizing water after the chamber pressure falls

0kPa and the chamber temperature is 97℃ or less.Er5 The chamber temperature rises at least 5 ℃ higher

than the setting value during sterilizing.

Unplug the power cord and contact your dealer or the

nearest TOMY office.Er6 The pressure rises abnormally as the form of

materials to be sterilized prevents air from escaping.

Turn off the power switch temporarily and wait for

the chamber pressure to return to 0kPa and open the

chamber lid to release air from the sterilizing material

or to reduce the volume of the material. (See 5-6.

REPLACING THE MATERIAL TO BE STERILIZED.)Er7 The temperature sensor has fractures. Unplug the power cord and contact your dealer or the

nearest TOMY office.Er8 The volume of the material to be sterilized is too

much.

Open the chamber lid and reduce the volume of the

material after the chamber pressure returns to 0kPa.The heater has fractures. Unplug the power cord and contact your dealer or the

nearest TOMY office.Er9 The chamber lid is not securely seated in the

chamber arm guide.

Reopen the lid and then close it firmly in place.

Er0 There are several potential causes stated above for

the error.

Identify causes applying to the error referring to the

above stated error codes from Er 1 to 9, and take

appropriate actions corresponding to the relevant error

codes.
