drain boiler at least once each week under 10 Ibs. of steam
pressure, with electric current turned off.
After draining, flush out boiler with plain water, then refill
machine to high level mark on Glass Gauge. Drain Valve is
located on lower left side of the machine.

appearance of the machine. Do not allow the parts to
become clogged with dirt and grime.
IMPORTANT! Water in machine MUST always be kept
above LOW level mark on Glass Gauge (½" from bottom of
Glass Gauge) in order to protect and extend the operating
life of the heating element.
WARNING: Steam slowly erodes the sight glass. To
prevent the sudden breakage or explosion of the gauge
glass. It must be inspected on a regular basis for signs of
deterioration.
Sight Glass Inspection: The sight glass should be
inspected for deterioration each time the unit is refilled.
Scratches, corrosion, chips, surface flaws, cracks, or nicks
weaken the glass. To examine for these imperfections shine
a very bright concentrated light at about 45 degree angle.
Anything which glistens and catches the fingernail or any
star-shaped or crescent-shaped mark which glistens is
cause for replacement. Any gauge glass which appears
cloudy or roughened and cannot be cleaned with commercial
glass cleaners, should be replaced.
