WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

1.Pressure Relief Valve

This protection device should be opened at least once a day to avoid lime build-up. Replace if leakage occurs or it opens below rated p.s.i.

2.Low Water Cut-Off

This device should be removed and inspected for lime build-up at least once a year. The float must move freely in its cage. Clean if necessary. Replace if lime or sludge cannot be removed to allow the float to move freely.

3.Sight Glass Assembly

This unit indicates the distilled water level inside the jacket and should be checked at least once a day. The correct distilled water level is a point one-half the height of the glass. Extreme murkiness indicates the kettle jacket should be cleaned.

4.Draw-Off Valve

The faces of this valve should be lubricated with Petro-Gel daily to prevent sticking.

5.Vent

Annually, when cool, check the air vent and clear any obstructions.

6.Kettle Jacket Fluid

Draining the water from the jacket (or flushing the jacket) is not required or desirable at frequent intervals and should be done only when there is evidence of scale or sludge inside the jacket.

To drain the jacket, remove the drain plug on the exterior bottom plate of the kettle.

The jackets are constructed of type 304 stainless steel, but they can pit and corrode under adverse conditions. Prompt, careful cleaning will help prevent this. To clean and flush the jacket, remove the low water cutoff switch and insert a water hose through this opening. When the jacket is refilled, always use chemically pure water, along with two ounces of a boiler feed water treatment compound. A 6-ounce bottle of treatment compound is available from Vulcan-Hart.
