WATER LEVEL GAUGE

Check the water level gauge sight glass daily. The correct water level is approximately 1" (2.5 cm) of water visible in the water level gauge sight glass. Extremely murky water in the sight glass indicates bad water conditions. The boiler should be blown down. If conditions persist, have the boiler inspected and cleaned by your local Vulcan-Hart servicer.

FLUE

Annually, when the steamer is cool, check the flue and clear any obstructions.

SCALE RELATED MAINTENANCE

Periodic maintenance is necessary to keep your boiler clean and efficient. Initially, after three months of steamer usage, it is recommended that you have your Vulcan-Hart authorized servicer inspect the boiler and perform the descaler maintenance described below. Local water conditions and steamer usage will determine the frequency that this service must be repeated; however, a minimum recommendation is once a year. This maintenance is not covered by warranty.

Cathodic protector(s) are provided inside the boiler to reduce boiler and component corrosion and reduce accumulation of scale from forming on the boiler interior walls. The cathodic protector(s) will be consumed. How fast the cathodic protector(s) will be consumed depends upon the chemical makeup of the feed water and the average volume of feed water used. An inspection by service personnel is recommended so that the expected normal life of the cathodic protector(s) can be estimated under your operating conditions. Thereafter, the cathodic protector(s) can be serviced at the appropriate frequency for your situation.

LUBRICATION

The door screw was factory lubricated with high-temperature grease, but will require periodic relubrication by applying a bead of lubricant across the door handle screw threads. When the door screw is properly lubricated, the hand pressure required to seal the door is greatly reduced and the life of the screw and nut are lengthened. Frequency of lubrication depends upon use. Lubricate monthly at first and let experience determine the frequency. A high-temperature grease for the door screw can be obtained from Vulcan-Hart.
