INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, PRESSURE COOKERS, SC-2, SC-3, SCDA-2, SCDA-3 6.0 MAINTENANCE (Continued) Be sure to flush your boiler water level control daily. Failure to follow this procedure can cause the control to malfunction resulting in serious boiler damage. The Boiler Water Level Control installed on your boiler requires periodic maintenance. As boiler water circulates into the float chamber, sand, scale and other sediment may be deposited in the float chamber.
