INSTALLING A STILBAG:
WARNING
Proper installation of a Stilbag is critical. Improper installation can result in
dangerous pressurization of the boiling chamber. Never disable the Stilbag venting
system.
1. Unroll the Stilbag and expand it open. Gather the top opening of the Stilbag, trapping air
inside to form a “ball”.
2. Insert the Stilbag into the boiling chamber, taking care to line the bottom seam of the
Stilbag from side to side and in line with the Stilbag vent (located on the inside right side
of the boiling chamber). If using a Liftrack, place it into the boiling chamber before
inserting the Stilbag.
3. Flatten the Stilbag along the bottom and sides to help prevent air pockets under the
Stilbag.
4. Install the Stilbag retaining ring. Compress the ring by placing your thumb and finger
into the loops and squeezing them together. Place the ring inside the Stilbag and allow it
to expand into the groove on the inside of the boiling chamber, holding the Stilbag in
place. Position the Stilbag retaining ring so that the Stilbag vent is between the opening
of the retaining ring.
5. Re-adjust the Stilbag, if needed, in order to get a close fit to the boiling chamber and to
further eliminate air pockets from under the Stilbag.
IMPORTANT: A Stilbag is designed for a single use only. The bag can become brittle and
burst if used for more than one cycle. Some applications require the use of high temperature
Stilbags. Other applications may be incompatible with the Stilbags material and require the
use of a Stilpan.
Note: Lift bar (standard on LS-55E/IIE) maximum weight limit is 250 lbs.
