      Do not allow any water to come into contact with the connector of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.

    2. Check that the valve of the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly opens at the specified temperature.

      Standard Valve Opening Temperature

      80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F)

      If the result is not as specified, replace the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly.
