RESERVOIR FILLPROCEDURES
The kettle's water level must be maintained at the
proper level. 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 gas burner. 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.
CAUTION: Only distilled water should be used when
adding water to a partially filled water reservoir (If unit is
completely empty see KETTLE JACKET FILLING &
DRAINING PROCEDURES on page #30). Local tap
water conditions may cause kettle damage which is not
covered under warranty. Rust inhibitor is purchased
locally. Read directions and do not exceed
manufacturer's recommendation (excessive rust
inhibitor can also cause solidification).
1. Ensure kettle is at room
temperature and pressure
gauge showing zero or less
pressure.
2. Shut off power to the kettle
at the fused disconnect
switch.
3. Remove Console Cover and Access Panel.
4. Pull Pressure Relief Valve
Ring open to insure vessel is
not pressurized.
5. Remove 1/4" copper tubing
and reducer bushing.
6. Add distilled water using a
funnel if necessary. Fill the
unit to the high level mark on
the Sight Glass.
7. Apply a thread sealant (i.e.
Teflon tape) to the reducer
bushing threads and replace.
8. Replace Console Cover and
Access Panel.
9. Restore power to unit at the
fused disconnect switch.
10. The kettle must now be
vented. (Refer to the KETTLE
VENTING INSTRUCTIONS on
page #27).
