compressed air to dry.

2. Next, the following will all happen simultaneously:
• The lights directly above and below the power button will flash 3 times.
• The unit will switch to medium speed.
• The Collector Cell light will start to blink in a slow pattern.
4. Once in “Dry Mode”
• The unit will run for 60 minutes and then attempt to reset the power supply to the Truman Cell®.
• If the power supply successfully restarts, the unit will return to its original speed and run as normal.
• If not successful, it will go through the same process up to two more times.
• If still not successful after the third try, the cell is likely damaged or is shorting out due to the presence of a foreign object; it will return to the original speed and the Collector Cell light will blink with a rapid blink pattern indefinitely until the unit is reset.
