Why is my FormBox making a strange sound?
There are a couple of reasons you might be hearing a sound. You might be hearing the two fans in the top of the FormBox, or the fan in the bottom of the machine. These switch on as soon as you connect your FormBox to power, to keep everything nice and cool.
There are also two warning alarms that sound when your FormBox has been left unattended. The first one will sound after 10 minutes to remind you that your FormBox is still switched on. The second one will sound after 15 minutes, and will completely shut down the machine as a safety precaution. You can reactivate the machine simply by turning the temperature dial to OFF, and then back to any temperature.
The alarm will also sound constantly if there is an issue with your machine. You will not be able to use your machine when this alarm is signalling. But don’t worry - you can diagnose the issue by looking at the lights on the front of your machine:
