TO START KETTlE
1. CHECK THE WATER LEVEL IN THE JACKET EVERY DAY. The level should be at the
middle of the sight glass, between MAX and MIN lines. (See Photo 10-2 at left). If
the level is low, see “Jacket Filling” in the “Maintenance” section of this manual.
2. While the kettle is cold, check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show
-20 to -30 inches of vacuum (that is, a reading below 0), see “Jacket Vacuum”
in the “Maintenance” section of this manual.
3. If closed, open main supply gas valve (handle in line with the pipe).
4. Turn the POWER switch to ON. For 90 seconds or until it succeeds,
the electronic ignition control will attempt to light the pilot.
ImPORTANT

5. Once the pilot is lit, turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting.
6. If the pilot does not light, turn power OFF and wait five minutes. At
that time, follow the instructions for starting once again.
7. If the unit repeatedly fails to light, contact a LoLo Authorized Service
Agency for assistance.
