Now that the kettle has been installed, you should test it to ensure that it is operating
correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing materials from inside and outside of the unit.
2. Pour a small amount of water into the kettle.
3. Open the steam inlet valve.
4. When the water begins to boil, inspect all of the fittings to ensure that there are
no leaks.
5. Check the safety valve by pulling out on its chain, (or lifting its lever on older
models) far enough to let steam escape. Then let it snap back into place to
reseat the valve so that it will not leak.
6. Shut down the unit by closing the steam inlet valve.
7. Operate the drawoff valve to ensure that it functions across the normal range of
operation.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If the unit does not function
as intended, contact your local Certified Service Agency.
