OPERATION
1. Ensure that there is an adequate steam supply to
the kettle.
2. For optimum performance on free-standing floor
model tilting kettles, open drain cock to drain
condensate from the kettle’s jacket, then close
drain cock before applying steam to a cold kettle.
3. If the kettle is equipped with a tangent draw-off
valve, ensure that it is closed before filling the
kettle. To keep solid food particles out of the draw-
off valve, place either a solid or a perforated
strainer in the bottom of the kettle.
4. Turn the steam control valve to the
open position by turning the knob
counter-clockwise, then allow the kettle
to preheat.
NOTE: When cooking egg and milk products, the kettle
should NOT be preheated, as products of this nature
adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These types of foods
should be placed in the kettle before heating is begun.
5. Fill kettle with product to desired level.
6. When the product has reached the
desired temperature, regulate the heat,
as required, by turning the steam
control valve clockwise for less steam,
and therefore, a lower temperature.
7. When cooking is complete, close
the steam control valve by turning the
knob clockwise.
8. Power tilt kettles are provided with a rocker-type
center-off switch for raising and lowering the kettle.
To raise the kettle, press the top of the switch. To
lower the kettle, press the bottom of the switch.
Release the switch, allowing it to return to the
center “off” position when the desired degree of tilt
has been reached. Limit switches are provided that
automatically stop the tilt motion at the maximum
limit of movement in either direction.
To raise and lower a manual tilt kettle, turn the
handwheel counter-clockwise to lower and
clockwise to raise.
FOR KETTLE/STEAMER COMBINATIONS:
If the boiler in a steamer is supplying steam to a kettle,
always heat the kettle first. After the kettle contents are
heated, and the boiler's steam pressure returns to
normal, the steamer may be used. Pressure steamer
compartments should be sequentially started, and
preheated before cooking.
NOTE: As with cleaning food soil from any cookware,
art important part of kettle cleaning is to prevent food
from drying on. For this reason, cleaning should be
completed immediately after cooked foods are
removed. Please read the "Care and Cleaning"
instructions for detailed kettle washing procedures.
