Changing the Filter Pad
In order to assure good oil pumping performance, the filter pad (or paper) should be changed at least once per day. However, in stores open 24 hours a day, the pad should be changed twice a day.
If the filter pad has not been changed, a reminder shows on the display, “CHANGE PAD”. Press the Confirm button to cancel the message, but it reappears every 4 minutes until the filter pad has been changed.
