One button doesn't work on a new device

The "I” suction level button doesn't work immediately after 3.5 hours of installation. Decided to only focus on Level II and Level III in the future as it's too much of a hassle to take it off with all that tape and screw. Disappointed with such a problem for a new product. This casts a shadow over the issue of long-term reliability. Chose this as the liner and old model are from the previous owner of the house. The size is big, strange, so you need to replace it with Brian's other device. Price wise, I know it's not a premium product, but I don't expect a knob like this to pass at least $300 factory testing. Installation is a bit fiddly. If you can do it with the liner on the floor I think you'll be fine. Since our liner is already in the wooden dome and it's difficult to get it out unless you break the entire dome, I need to attach 2 pieces of wood to the wall to make sure they don't move. Then my wife helps me lift this rather heavy block, holds it there and I screw it on. This can be done by one person, but the tree holding the screw will keep moving, so you'll probably need two anyway.
