NOTE:
To allow the thermostat to heat evenly, make sure it is not touching the sides of the
container.
NOTICE:
To prevent damage to the thermostat or heating container, do not
ever use a welding torch or soldering gun as a source of heat.
2. Heat the water with a suitable heating element. Stir the water occasionally to help
equalize the temperature.
(Rev. 0304)
5-28
Measure the water temperature. As the temperature climbs to around 75 C (165 F),
slow the rate of heating down to about 1 to 2 C (2 to 3 F) per minute.
[b]
3. Continue to heat the water at this rate for about six to eight minutes until it reaches the
opening temperature of the main valve. If the main valve is not completely open, replace
the thermostat. See Figure 5-13.
