4.) Troubleshooting
4.1 Jams
In the event of a jam, the unit will automatically go into reverse mode
and then forward again for several seconds to try to clear the jam. The
symbols to the right are the indicators for a JAM and AUTO clearing of
the jam.
If the jam cannot be automatically cleared, the user may manually reverse the
unit. Pressing the REVERSE button will make the unit run in the reverse direction
for about 1.5 seconds. The single direction indicator arrow now shows the
reverse direction.
If the unit is still jamming after attempting a manual reverse, contact SEM
customer support.
4.2 Status Indicators
Waste Bin:
If the unit becomes full of waste, the WASTE BIN indicator will appear. The waste
bin bag should now be removed and a new bag installed.
Open Door:
Anytime the door is opened, the unit will deactivate if running and the DOOR
OPEN symbol will appear. The unit will not run when this symbol is present.
4.3 Service Indicators
The unit is equipped with a thermal switch for safety to ensure that the motor does not overheat.
When the unit is run continuously for an hour or more, the switch will engage and the unit will not
run until the temperature has dropped to acceptable levels. If this occurs, the over temperature
HOT indicator will appear and the user must wait for it to automatically reset.
If the unit encounters other errors or an unsafe condition is detected, the SERVICE NEEDED symbol
is displayed. If this occurs, please contact SEM service. Please note the number displayed along with
the SERVICE NEEDED symbol as it will help identify the cause of the fault.
