COOKING:

Ensure that the external electrical shut-off to kettle is on.

1.

Check pressure gauge for correct cold kettle reading. Reading should be 25-30 In.Hg of vacuum. If reading

2.
is not low enough, follow VENTING procedure prior to using kettle.

Place power switch in ON position.

3.

Preheat kettle by placing thermostat knob at ‘10’ and wait until TEMPERATURE light goes off.

4.

NOTE: Preheating should not be used when cooking milk and egg food products which adhere to hot cook­ing surfaces. These foods should be placed into kettle before heating is begun.

Add food to be cooked into kettle.

5.

Place thermostat knob at required temperature setting from ‘1’ to ‘10’ coinciding with a temperature range

6.
from roughly 90°F to 300°F (32°C to 149°C) in the reservoir. Approximate cooking temperatures with water
at various thermostat settings are as follows:

4 90° 32°

5 125° 52°

6 160° 71°

7 195° 91°

8 231° 110°

9 273° 134°

10 300° 149°

APPROXIMATE TEMPERATURE

(WATER)

When cooking is nished, set thermostat knob and power switch to OFF position.

7.

Pour nished product from kettle using tilt handle. Be careful to avoid splashing.

8.

Add water to kettle for cleaning purposes.

9.

Wash kettle thoroughly. See CLEANING procedure.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING:

The kettle interior and exterior should be thoroughly washed after each use in preparation of a different food.

Add water and mild detergent to the kettle immediately after use.

1.

Scrub kettle interior with a nylon brush.

2.

NOTE: Never scrape the inside of kettle with metal tools, steel scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners. Scratch-
es will result which will spoil the kettle’s general appearance and make it harder to clean and maintain in a
sanitary condition.

Loosen food which is stuck to kettle by allowing it to soak at a low temperature setting.

3.

Rinse with clear water and dry.

4.
WARNING: Do not hose down unit under any condition. Failure to comply will void warranty.

Wipe down exterior, rinse and dry.

5.

VENTING:

Check vacuum/pressure gauge when kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the vacuum zone between 25-30 In. Hg.
If not, air is present which must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent
air.

Place power switch in ON position; kettle empty.

1.

Set temperature control thermostat to ‘10’. Heat kettle until heat indicator light goes off.

2.

Using a 7/16” wrench, open bleed vent one full turn for 10 seconds and close.

3.

Cool kettle. Check for proper vacuum of 25-30 In. Hg. If reading is not low enough, repeat entire procedure,

4.
steps 1-3.

FILLING-JACKET RESERVOIR:

The reservoir water level must be maintained at or above the minimum needed to submerge the heating ele­ments. If the low water light turns on during use, the water level is not adequate and the low water protection
control has automatically shut off the heating elements. CAUTION: Before adding water to the reservoir, water
supply should be analyzed to ensure that hardness is no greater than 2.0- grains per gallon and pH level is within
the range of 7.0-8.5. Water which fails to meet these standards should be treated, or ionized distilled water with
sodium used. EQUIPMENT FAILURE CAUSED BY INADEQUATE WATER QUALITY IS NOT COVERED UN­DER WARRANTY.

Use the following procedure to ll reservoir. Check vacuum/pressure gauge to ensure that there is no pressure

in kettle when adding water.

Turn thermostat and power switch to OFF position.

1.

Remove 7/16” vent tting from bleed vent on back of kettle. Insert a funnel into vent opening and add pre-

2.
scribed volume of water. For 6 gallon models, add 50 ounces (1.5 liters). For 10 and 12 gallon models, add
100 ounces (3 liters).

Replace and tighten vent tting.

3.

With kettle in upright position, the low water light should be off at this time. If so, follow venting procedure to

4.
vent air from reservoir Venting. If low water light is not off, repeat Filling Jacket Reservoir.
