Step 3: Use a 7/8 wrench and 11/16 wrench to undo the steamer gun hose from the kettle.


Step 4: Use a 9/16 wrench and a Vise Grip to undo the solution hose from the relief valve.


Step 5: Unscrew the electrical twist caps from the heater coil. Be sure not to lose them.


Step 6: Use an adjustable wrench to remove the nuts holding the two heater coil terminals in place.


Step 7: Use a 3/16 Allen socket to remove the 8 screws around the rim of the kettle lid.


Step 8: Use a 3/4 wrench to carefully remove the thermostat bulb.


Step 9: Use a adjustable wrench to remove the nut holding the liquid level probe terminal in place.

Step 12: Use adjustable pliers to unscrew and remove the heating coil.


Step 13: Use a sanding disc to clean and remove all the burrs on the bottom of the kettle lid.


Step 14: Slide the heat shrink sleeve over the level float wires and use a hair dryer to shrink the sleeve so that it is snug on the wires. 


Step 15: Add silicone to the level float.


Step 16: Feed the shrink-wrapped float assembly wires through the larger of the two threaded holes in the lid. Make sure the float is on the side of the lid that will be inside the kettle. Place the G107 O-ring in the hole. Using a 3/4" and 7/8" wrench, secure the float assembly to the lid with the 1/4” extender adapter (B111) and 1/4" nut (B156).

Step 19: Apply pipe sealant to all the cleaned components and fittings before screwing them back to the lid. 


Step 20: Use a 10mm wrench to loosen the nut on the capillary thermostat assembly. Lower the bulb so that the end is about 4 inches from the lid. Once at the correct distance, tighten the nut back up.


Step 21: When positioning the heating coil make sure that the water level float is right in the middle as shown. 


Step 22: Put the new O-ring gasket on the kettle tank. Make sure that it is lined up perfectly, and that when the lid is put on there is a full seal. 


Step 23: Add two washers to each of the holes shown.


Step 24: When the lid is secured on you will see a little bit of a gap. 


Step 25: Re-connect plumbing to kettle lid. Final assembly shown above.
