3. HOW TO USE
FILL FUEL
Place the unit either on its side or upside down, making note to see if any water is inside, as this will
drain out if the outlet is submerged. Use a suitable butane cartridge to fill, following the instructions for
filling. After filling it is best to wait for any excess fumes to dissipate that can occur during filling.
FILL THE VESSEL WITH WATER
Open the plug on top, and fill with approximately 100 to 400 ml water, and replace the plug.
LIGHT THE BURNER
Turn the gas control knob on, and listen for the gas, press the opposing ignition switch to light the
burner, adjust the flame height and intensity to boil. Bring the water to a boil, taking care to keep the
end of the hose away from anything the steam/condensate could harm. After steam has been started,
you can turn the unit off with the burner gas control knob and take to your sample point.
STEAMING THE VALVE
Hook the handle over the valve and connect the hose to the top port of the valve. Consult the KEOFITT
Sampling Valve Manual for full instructions on steaming and sampling. Start the burner and bring the
water back up to steam, which should only take a few moments depending on the time since the tank
was heated. Steam the valve one minute and disconnect hose with quick- coupling.
SAMPLING
Place a sanitized rubber or stainless plug over the top port and the collection vessel/bag to the bottom
port and operate the valve according to the manual to take the sample. After sampling, the valve should
be flushed, filled with a disinfectant and capped to keep the valve in a clean and sealed condition
protected from the environment until the next sample procedure.
CAUTION
AS A GAS HEATING DEVICE IT IS IMPERATIVE TO OPERATE IN A SUFFICIENTLY VENTILATED AREA, USING
GLOVES, PROTECTIVE GLASSES AND PROPER ATTIRE. TAKING ALL NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS.
