INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
1. INSPECT WATER INLET WITH THERMOSTAT SUB-ASSEMBLY
HINT:
The valve opening temperature is inscribed on the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
(a) Immerse the thermostat in the water, then heat the water gradually.
CAUTION:
- Do not your hands into the water that has been heated for the inspection.
- Touching the heated water could result in burns.
(b) Check the valve opening temperature of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
Standard valve opening temperature:
85 to 89°C (185 to 192°F)
NOTICE:
When checking the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly in water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly dry.
If the valve opening temperature is not as specified, replace the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
