Steam Is Continually Discharged Into The Drip Tray
During heat up a small amount of steam will be discharged into the drip tray. The steam
should stop within a few minutes after the boiler pressurizes. If the steam continues to
fill the drip tray after a few minutes then the vacuum breaker valve should be replaced.
A replacement vacuum breaker valve can be found on our website at the link below.

Steam Gauge Shows Full Pressure But Drops To Zero When Steam Knob Is Opened
This is caused by a sticking vacuum breaker valve which causes the boiler to build air
pressure instead of steam pressure. A replacement vacuum breaker valve can be found
