Servicing and Conversion
IMPORTANT
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICING, ENSURE THAT THE ISOLATING COCK IS TURNED OFF
AND CANNOT BE INADVERTENTLY TURNED ON.
ENSURE ALSO THAT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED.
AFTER ANY MAINTENANCE TASK, CHECK THE APPLIANCE TO ENSURE THAT IT PERFORMS
CORRECTLY AND CARRY OUT ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS AS DETAILED IN SECTION 1.
ALWAYS CHECK FOR GAS SOUNDNESS AFTER CARRYING OUT ANY SERVICING OR EXCHANGE
OF GAS CARRYING COMPONENTS.
NOTE:1. When replacing wiring connections refer to the wiring diagram contained on the unit and within
this manual.
2. When any threaded gas connection is disturbed for any reason, the threads must be resealed with
appropriate gas leak prevention sealant that is suitable for the type of gas. Unified Brands/Groen
recommends gas sealant compound such as Locktite® 243 or Unified Brands part number 122002.
After Servicing
a) Test for gas soundness as specified in
IGE/UP1 as appropriate after any gas
connection has been disturbed.
c) Check for correct operation, as appropriate
b) If leaks are found, disconnect the mating parts,
clean the threads and apply recommended

(see commissioning of appliance).
WARNING - Do not leave any wood splinter
or bristles from brush in the burner or injector.
Fire could result.
Regular Servicing Procedures
The following must be serviced at regular intervals.
Burners
The burner should be cleaned periodically to
maintain maximum performance. Burners are
best cleaned with a wire brush and any blocked
parts are best cleaned with a metal broach,
taking care not to damage the burner head.
The injector orifice should be cleaned with a
wooden splinter. Metal reamers may distort or
increase the orifice size and should be avoided.
WARNING - Do not leave any wood splinter
or bristles from brush in the burner or injector.
Fire could result.
Gears
The gear housing has fitting for proper
lubrication of moving parts. The gears do not run
in oil, periodic lubrication with grease is
necessary. Frequency of lubrication will depend
on operating conditions, but it should be
performed at least once every 6 months. It is
liberal amount of grease on the gear to cover the
arc that is in contact with the worm gear.
Safety Valve (Steam)
At least twice a month the safety valve requires
checking to make sure it works correctly. When
the gauge pressure is about five PSI, lift the
valve lever enough to vent steam, then quickly
let it snap back into place.
WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE.
This procedure should be explained to the user,
since it is to be carried out at least twice a
month. Safety procedures and requirements
should also be explained to the user when
carrying out the procedure.
Safety Valve Operating Instructions
If adding water to the boiling pan jacket,
DO NOT ALLOW
water to flow through safety valve as sediment or
debris may be deposited on seating surface.
To achieve topmost performance and maximum
service life, it is necessary to maintain a proper
pressure margin between set pressure of the
safety valve and equipment operating pressure.
recommended that a #2 grade LGI lithium
grease be used. Add grease through the Zerk
fittings on the gear housing until grease flows out
of bearings around the trunnion shaft. Place a

OM/SM-DH CE 11
OM-SM-DH-CE
11
OM/SM-DH-CE
Test the operation of the safety valve on a
regular basis.
The minimum required pressure margin for this
type of valve is 10% of the safety relief valve set
pressure, but not less than five PSI. UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS MARGIN
BE LESS THAN 5 PSI. Failure to maintain this
operating margin may result in water leakage
past the seat and accumulation of deposits on
the seating surface. Excessive deposits may
prevent the valve from operating properly, and a
dangerous pressure build-up and equipment
rupture may result.
Maintenance and Testing
CAUTION
BEFORE TESTING, MAKE CERTAIN
DISCHARGE PIPE IS PROPERLY
CONNECTED TO VALVE OUTLET AND
ARRANGED TO CONTAIN AND SAFELY
DISPOSE OF BOILER DISCHARGE (SEE
“INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS”).
Under normal operating conditions a “try lever
test” must be performed every two months.
Under severe service conditions, or if corrosion
and/or deposits are noticed within the valve
body, testing must be performed more often. A
“try lever test” must also be performed at the end
of any non-service period.
Test at or near maximum operating pressure by
holding the test lever fully open for at least 5
seconds to flush the valve seat free of sediment
and debris. Then release lever and permit the
valve to snap shut.
If lift lever does not activate, or there is no
evidence of discharge, discontinue use of
equipment immediately and contact a licensed
contractor or qualified service personnel.
Neither Conbraco Industries, Inc. nor its agents

The procedure for adding water follows:
a) If you are replacing water lost as steam, use
distilled water. If you are replacing treated
water that ran out of the jacket, prepare
more treated water as directed below.
b) Allow the kettle to cool completely. Using the
proper size spanner, remove the pipe plug
from above the globe valve.
c) Open the globe valve and pour distilled or
treated water into the pipe plug orifice. Hold
the safety valve open while you pour to let air
escape from the jacket.
d) Air introduced to the jacket during the filling
operation must be removed to obtain
efficient heating. See Paragraph 3.2.
See detailed Instructions on Page 11 pertaining
to Safety Valve installation and operation.
3.4 Water Treatment Procedure
WARNING
READ AND FOLLOW WATER TREATMENT
COMPOUND LABEL PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID INJURY.
a) Fill the mixing container with the measured
amount of water required. (See Table). Use
distilled water only.
Model Kettle Capacity Jacket Capacity
DH-20 75.7 Litres 6.6 Litres
DH-40 151.4 Litres 7.1 Litres
DH-60 227.1 Litres 11.3 Litres
b) Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of
the container, with about 1" of the strip below
the surface of the water.
c) Measure the water treatment compound you
will be using. (One way to do this is to add
the compound to the water from a small
measuring cup).
d) Stir the water continuously, while you slowly
add water treatment compound, until the
water reaches a pH between 10.5 and 11.5.
Judge the pH by frequently comparing the
color of the test strip with the color chart
provided in the pH test kit.
e) Record the exact amounts of water and
treatment compound used. These amounts
may be used again, if the same sources of
water and compound are employed.
However, it is advisable to check the pH
every time water is prepared. For optimum
performance, use correctly treated, distilled
water.
