Note!
Do not use a spanner because the boiler may deform from torque at the wrong angle. When the fitting
does not come loose from the boiler, it is best to remove the upper part of the anti-vacuum valve and
replace the old inside and upper parts of the valve with those from the replacement valve.
6. Clean the inner threads on the boiler, try to not let dirt fall into the boiler.
7. Replace the anti-vacuum valve with a drop of Loctite (or a few windings of Teflon tape) on the
threads. Use a new copper O-ring in between boiler and valve. Do not tighten with a lot of force.
8. Remount the drain hose.
9. Close the steam valve and turn the Mirage
“on”.
10. Check the anti-vacuum valve for leakage. If necessary, tighten nut a little more.
11. Mount cup warmer.
