Instructions for Conversion of Commercial Electric Models
5
Wattage/Voltage Conversion --- Element Changes
1. Remove and replace one element at a time.
2. Disconnect the electrical wires from the element terminals.
3. Remove the electrical elements using the Screw-in element removal wrench --- or ---- a 1 ½” deep
well socket wrench.
4. Remove the replacement elements from the conversion kit. Check the element markings to ensure
correct wattage and voltage before installing.
5. Apply the new gasket (provided in the kit) to the element. Make sure the gasket is aligned correctly
and it is not rolled-over.
6. Thread the replacement element into the element fitting until it is seated. Tighten ½ to ¾ turns with
the element wrench.
7. Re-connect the wiring to the element terminals. The screw should be snuggly tightened but caution
should be exercised not to over tighten. Over tightening could fracture the element ceramic terminal
block, and would require replacement.
8. Repeat this procedure (steps 1 thru 7 above) for all other elements needing replacement.
