1/4" plug removed in step 4 and tighten the Victaulic coupling loosened in step 3.
CAUTION
Step 7 applies to SmartPlate Double-Wall Models ONLY. Skip this step for
all Single-Wall Models.
7. For SmartPlate Double-Wall Models, it is also advisable to separate and clean the plates
using the procedures in Chapter 8, paragraph 8.6.2. Leave the double-wall heat exchanger
in an un-tightened or slightly tightened condition. Cover the heat exchanger with dark plastic
to protect it from welding light and dirt (rubber gaskets are sensitive to welding light). Do not
store organic solvents or acids in the room. Avoid heat or ultraviolet light.
