PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Please check the wall socket switch.
Please check the switch at the back of ViroShield.
UV lights will work only when the door is closed
completely. If the LED indicator is on and the buzzer
is beeping every 30 seconds, it means that the UV

switch in the cabinet momentarily, to check that the
lights are working. We strongly recommend not
doing this often for your safety since prolonged
direct exposure to UV Rays can harm your health.
