Maintenance
NOTICE: Contact an authorized representative when repairs are required.
Periodic Maintenance
A Service Log is provided at the back of this manual with the warranty information.
Each time maintenance is performed on your kettle, enter the date on which the work
was done, what was done, and who did it. Keep this manual on file and available for
operators to use.
Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of
operation. The following points should be checked:
1. Once a day, with pressure in the jacket, check the operation of the pressure
relief safety valve. Lift the lever of the safety valve until steam is released.
Then release the lever and let the valve snap shut. If the lever does not activate,
or there is no evidence of discharge, or the valve leaks, immediately discontinue
use of the kettle and contact a qualified service representative.
2. At least once every 90 days, inspect fittings and valves for signs of damage or
wear.
NOTE: Service performed by other than factory authorized personnel will void all
warranties.
WARNING
WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE
TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE
SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
Test the safety valve each day.
