unit from the water supply at the rear of the cooker. Remove the basket lift arms from the unit
and cut the metal wire ties securing the thermostat tube to the element.
2. Reposition the cooker to allow clear access to the rear of the unit. Remove the upper and lower
basket lift panels.
3. At the rear of the cookpot, loosen the small compression nut, and then unscrew the large fitting
from the cookpot. Pull the thermostat tube out through the rear of the cookpot.
