SECTION 7 Troubleshooting kit (continued)
Hot float, syrup pan
Solutions
First check the mechanical condition of the valve.
• RODS: Is it straight or warped?
• PISTON: Is it flat in the valve or at an angle?
• O-RING: What is its condition?
- Lift the water level adjustment rod.
o The water stops flowing by exerting a small amount of pressure.
Simply readjust the float using the adjustment rod that connects the float to the lever.
o The water still flows despite the following condition.
✓ The application of a large force on the valve.
In this case, the O-ring of the valve must be replaced.
7.9 SYRUP COLOUR AND/OR TASTE PROBLEMS
The syrup is too dark
Solutions
1. The residence time of the syrup is too long.
2. Lower the water level in the pans in 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) increments at a time.
• Wait 60 minutes between each sequence.
The syrup is too pale and/or not very tasty
Solutions
1. The residence time is too short.
2. Increase the water level in the pans in 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) increments at a time.
• Wait 60 minutes between each sequence.
7.10 EXCESSIVE STEAM OUTPUT FROM THE HOODS
The ability of the steam chimney to generate draft is limited by the temperature of the steam itself. In modern,
more airtight construction, it is possible that the steam chimney will not generate enough draft.
Solutions
1. ROPE OPERATED RAIN CAP If you use one, is it open?
2. DOOR TO THE OUTSIDE: Open a door to the outside when the evaporator is in operation.
• The steam problem decreases: the building is too airtight for the chimney's draft capacity, so the evaporator
must be operated with an open door.
• The problem remains the same: extend the steam chimney by 4 ft. (1.22 m).
