1.
Disconnect boiler from electric power supply at
main safety
switch or fuse panel.

2.
On automatic feed units, close valve on incoming water line. Drain
boiler completely of water.
3.
Open boiler door to expose heating element.
4.
Disconnect wire (electric) leads connecting element to main power
system of boiler. Again note wire connections to facilitate
reassembly. Proceed to remove (6) 5/16-18 bolts from flange.
5.
Thoroughly clean boiler flange of all foreign material. Be certain
no part of old gasket remains on boiler flange.
6.
Apply “Slic-Tite” Gasket Compound or equal to both surfaces of
new gasket with supplied replacement element. Proceed to install
element flange assembly with gasket between boiler flange and
element flange. In doing this, be careful to align flange holes so
wire connection terminals on element assembly are in line with
previously disconnected wire leads to facilitate easy connections.
7.
When all (6) flange bolts are tight, connect all wires to terminals.
Make certain wires are clean and bright to assure good electrical
contact and nuts on screws are firmly secured.
WARNING:
Avoid use of chemical cleaning com-
pounds. Follow maintenance instructions.

Open water valve so water supply can reach boiler feed mecha-
nism.
9.
Put main safety switch to “on” position.
10.
