FLOAT VALVE ASSEMBLY
If there is steam escaping from the Lid and the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) on top of the
Lid is in the Airtight position please see Troubleshooting on pages 17-18.
It is also important to ensure the Float Valve (4) is assembled correctly. Incorrect
assembly may cause steam to escape from the sides or prevent pressure from building.
The Float Valve (4) should be able to move up and down freely only stopping when the
Seal Ring (16) meets the Lid (2). It is however normal for condensation to appear in the
condensation collector. See illustration below for assembly.
DIS-ASSEMBLY OF FLOAT VALVE (4)
ASSEMBLY OF FLOAT VALVE (4)
Hold Lid (2) upside down to
locate the Float Valve (4).
Ensure that there is something
underneath the Lid (2) that
can catch the Float Valve.
Grasp and pull off the Seal
Ring for Float Valve (16) .
The Float Valve (4) will drop out
from the Lid (2). Check and clean
the hole, the Seal Ring (16) and
the Float Valve (4).
Insert fluted end of Float Valve
(4) into the hole in the Lid (2)
and use a pencil or other slim
tool to hold in place.
Flip the Lid (2) upside down
while using the pencil to hold
the Float Valve (4) in place.
Place the Seal Ring (16) onto
the fluted end of the Float
Valve (4) so it sits in the
groove. The Float Valve (4)
should be able to move up and
down freely only stopping
when the Seal Ring (16) meets
the Lid (2).
