Note: The ceramic seal may be overhauled according to the following couplings:
•
Coupling "A": seal ring no. 485084 with ceramic seal no. 486216
•
Coupling "B": seal ring no. 841329 with ceramic seal no. 841330
The couplings above may be selected according to their availability, as they are interchangeable.

Immerse the thermostat, and keep it in the centre
of the container.
Immerse the multimeter temperature probe draw-
ing No° 020331Y closeà to the thermostat.
Heat the container with a hot air gun drawing No°
020151Y.
Check the temperature when the thermostat starts
to open:
Opening start temperature: 69.5 ÷72.5°C
Heat up until the thermostat is completely open.
Opening travel: 3.5 mm at 80°C
