4.0 OPERATION (Continued)
DAILY OPERATION
Daily operation should consist of turning on the power switch and setting the thermostat for the
desired temperature.
It is recommended the kettle be preheated prior to use. Milk or egg based products should be
placed in the kettle before heating, however, to prevent sticking. The kettle is preheated when
the cooking light goes off the first time.
At the end of each day, or if the kettle will not be used for some time, shut the unit down by
turning the power switch to OFF.
Clean as required or on a daily basis. See “Cleaning” section under MAINTENANCE.
Appliances equipped with casters have been installed with a restraint to limit their movement to
prevent damage to the gas supply connecting system. If disconnection of this restraint is
necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the appliance is moved to
its originally installed position.
Turning on the power switch initiates a pilot lighting sequence. The spark igniter will begin
sparking. The spark igniter will spark until the pilot is ignited. After ninety seconds lockout will
occur. Lockout shuts down all pilot (and main burner) gas flow although the spark igniter will
continue to spark. The power switch must be turned off and back on to restart the pilot lighting
sequence once lockout has occurred.
If the pilot blows out during operation, the unit will go through the same sequence to re-ignite
itself.
Once the pilot is ignited, main burner gas will flow if the thermostat is turned on.
END USER TIPS:
For easier cleaning add cold water to the kettle immediately after removing contents.
When preparing foods containing vinegar or tomatoes, or those which have a high salt content,
clean the kettle immediately after using to prevent pitting.
Do not use salt to clean the kettle. This will scratch the surface.
If using saltwater to cook shellfish, be sure to rinse and wash the kettle thoroughly.
