1.7.5 Leakage
Cookpot leaks are almost always due to improperly sealed high-limit, temperature probe, float
switches and drain fittings. When installed or replaced, each of these components must be sealed
with Loctite PST567 sealant or equivalent to prevent leakage. In very rare cases, a leak may develop
along one of the welded edges of the cookpot, or where the tube is welded to the cookpot. When this
occurs, the cookpot must be repaired or replaced.
If the sides or ends of the cookpot are coated with water minerals, the most likely cause is spillage
over the top of the cookpot rather than leakage.
