RESERVOIR FILL

PROCEDURES

The kettle's water level must be maintained at the proper level to submerge the heater elements. Under normal operating conditions, the sealed water reservoir should never require the addition of water.

If the red "low water" light comes on during use (while the kettle is in an upright position), the water level has reached a critically low level. The low water protection control has automatically shut off the heater elements. The following procedure must be completed before further use:

NOTE: Have a qualified service technician repair the leakage problem and add water to the unit. Ensure that the red "low water" light is on when the kettle is upright. On tilting kettles, it is normal for the red light to come on when the kettle is in a tilted position, as the elements are not submerged in water at this point.

DISTILLED WATER REQUIREMENTS

	When Red “Low Water
Kettle	Light” comes
Capacity	on, add Distilled Water
25 gallon	1.0 U.S Gallons
30 gallon	1.5 U.S Gallons
40 gallon	2.0 U.S Gallons
60 gallon	2.1 U.S Gallons
80 gallon	2.6 U.S Gallons
100 gallon	2.8 U.S Gallons

3.Pull Pressure Relief Valve (A) open to insure vessel is not pressurized.

4.Remove Pressure Relief Valve (A).

5.Replace Pressure Relief Valve (A) with Street Elbow (B).

6.Add distilled water (C) through the Street Elbow (B), using a funnel if necessary. Refer to Distilled Water Requirements chart for the proper amount required.

7.Apply a thread sealant (i.e. Teflon tape) to the Pressure Relief Valve's (A) thread and replace.

8.Restore power to unit at the fused disconnect switch.

9.The kettle must now be vented. (Refer to the

KETTLE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS).
