Boiler Pressure Gauge
Indicates the boiler steam pressure; the normal
operating range is 5 to 12 psig.
Water Level Gauge
The correct water level is approximately 1" (
2.5 cm) of water in the water level gauge sight
glass.
The manual valves at the top and bottom of the water level gauge (Fig. 3) must be fully open
(counterclockwise).
Observe that the water is clean and clear in the glass tube.
The appearance of extreme murkiness in the water indicates inadequate water quality
and will cause the controls and the steamer to fail. Warranty does not cover malfunction
due to poor water conditions.
Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve, located on the top left side, prevents pressure in the boiler from
exceeding 15 psig.
Manually pull up the lever daily to reduce scale buildup and verify that the pressure relief valve
functions properly.
