Boiler or Generator
Back of Solenoid is 120VAC electrical connection. To check
to see if power is getting to solenoid, can undue single phillips
screw and back off 3 prong plug ( check two opposite spades)
for 120VAC power. When 120VAC goes to this solenoid, it
also goes to the pump - to pump water into the Boiler.
Check Valve
Steam Generator
or Steam Boiler
Red Handle valves can
be closed if glass fails ,
so as not to render the
Autoclave useless.

regularly check this strainer. If
clogged or has holes it affects
the chamber pressure
regulating valve . It keeps
debree from getting onto the
seat of the regulating valve and
causing steam to leak by door

~25 - 28 psi.
Note: When we saw ~30psi - it told us water is in the system and has to work
itself out. Hammering sounds , knocking, means steam is building and pushing
out the water or "wet steam" - purging. It will take a bit of time.
