Technical Details

Repair Steps:

  1. Safety First: Always disconnect the RATIONAL iCombi Pro unit from the main power supply before performing any service or maintenance, even for a non-critical component like the SD card. This protects both the technician and the equipment.
  2. Locate the SD Card Slot: The SD card slot on an iCombi Pro unit is typically found behind the control panel or in an accessible service area. Consult your unit’s technical documentation or service manual for the exact location.
  3. Remove the Old SD Card: Carefully open the protective cover, if present, and gently eject the existing SD card. Note its orientation for correct insertion of the new card.
  4. Insert the New SD Card: Insert a new, RATIONAL-approved SD card into the slot, ensuring it is correctly oriented and fully seated. Close any protective covers.
  5. Power On and Verify: Restore power to the unit. The iCombi Pro should boot normally, and the error code 19 should no longer be displayed. If applicable, proceed with any required software updates or data transfers.
  6. Test Functionality: Perform a basic operational check to ensure all functions are working as expected and the error does not reappear.

Common Questions:

Q: Why does my iCombi Pro require an SD card change?

A: This prompt typically indicates the existing SD card may be full, corrupted, or incompatible with a required software update. It’s essential for data logging, software operations, and certain advanced cooking programs.

Q: What type of SD card should I use as a replacement?

A: Always use an SD card specifically recommended or supplied by RATIONAL for your iCombi Pro model to ensure compatibility and prevent further system issues. Generic SD cards may not function correctly.

A: While basic cooking functions might remain operational, ignoring this error could prevent software updates, data logging, or the use of certain intelligent cooking programs, leading to degraded overall performance and functionality.
