•Check the level switch function by:

-disconnect the hose from the drain valve

-blow air carefully through the hose and monitor the meter contact functions.

•Insufficient water filling can also be caused by burnt contacts in the level switch. If this is the case, replace the level switch.

The machine guarantee ceases to be valid if the level switch sealant is broken without manufacturer permission. After adjustments are made, the sensor should be resealed.

The level sensor has two adjustment screws for high water level and two for low level. For each level, the screws have the following functions:

•level screw

raise (clockwise adjustment) or lower transition point for both minimum and shut-off level.

Make sure that these screws are not turned too far counter-clockwise or else the springs under the screws will loosen and the level sensor will become nonfunctional.

•hysteresis screw

increase (clockwise adjustment) or decrease the distance between the minimum level and the shut-off level. The shut-off level is not changed during this adjustment.

Always adjust the shut-off level first using the level screw and then adjust the minimum level using the hysteresis screw.
