Equipment & Supplies
Hot plate
3 screws
Hex wrench
Procedure
Removal of existing screws
This is the trickiest part of the procedure. The screws are very easy to strip. If they are stripped, the vapor cap and new hot plate should be returned to Mendocino Therapeutics for repair.
Hold the vapor cap and wrench as shown and press the wrench firmly into the screw head slot while keeping it correctly aligned. Twist the wrench counterclockwise while continuing to press it firmly into the screw head. Remove all screws.
Installing the new hot plate
Congratulations, your vapor cap is ready to use.
Put the new hot plate and original Lotus ring in position and start all 3 screws in their holes. Do not tighten any screws until all three are started. Tighten the screws until they are snug, not tight.
