OPERATING THE KETTLE
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE
THIS APPLIANCE DURING A POWER
FAILURE.
KEEP APPLIANCE AND AREA FREE
AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLES.
DO NOT LEAN ON OR PLACE OBJECTS ON KETTLE
LIP. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT IF KETTLE
TIPPED OVER, SPILLING HOT CONTENTS.
IF YOU ARE COOKING AN EGG OR MILK
PRODUCT, DO NOT PRE-HEAT KETTLE.
1. Before turning kettle on, read the Vacuum/Pressure
Gauge (5). The gauges needle should be in the
green zone. If the needle is in the "VENT AIR"
zone, refer to the KETTLE VENTING
INSTRUCTIONS (page #27). Any air that may be
present will increase cooking times. Once heated,
the kettle's normal maximum operating pressure is
approximately 10-12 psi while cooking a water base
product.
2. Ensure that the electrical service to the kettle is
turned on at the fused disconnect switch.

3. Preheat the kettle by turning the
ON/OFF
Switch/Solid State Temperature Control
(2) to the
desired temperature setting (see above
"Temperature Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator
Light (Green) (3) will remain lit, indicating the
burner is on, until the temperature setting is
reached. When the green light goes off, the
burners are off, and preheating is complete.
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 food should be placed in
the kettle before heating is begun.
4. Place food product into the kettle. The green Heat
Indicator Light (3) will cycle on and off indicating
the burners are cycling on and off to maintain the
set temperature.
NOTE: Do not fill kettle above
recommended level marked on outside
of kettle.
NOTE: The red Low Water Indicator Light (1) should not be
lit during kettle operation. This light indicates that the burners
have been automatically shut off by the kettle's safety circuit.
It is normal for the red light to come on when the kettle is in a
tilted position. However, the kettle cannot be operated when
the red light remains lit while the kettle is in the upright
position. This indicates a low water condition, and water must
be added to the reservoir. Refer to Reservoir Fill Procedures
on page #28 for details.
5. When cooking is completed turn
On/Off Switch/Solid
State Temperature Control
(2) to the "OFF' position.
NOTE: A five minute complete shut-of period is
required before relighting.
6. Pour the contents of the kettle into an appropriate
container by tilting the kettle forward. Care should
be taken to pour slowly enough to avoid splashing
off the product.
NOTE: As with cleaning food soil from any cookware, an
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. Refer to the
Cleaning Instructions (page #9) for detailed kettle washing
procedures.
APPROXIMATE BOILING TIMES
The accompanying chart shows approximate times
required for gas kettles of various capacities to boil
water with the lid open. The
ON/OFF Switch/Solid State
Temperature Control
(2) must be set at “10” throughout
the heat-up period. Water will boil about 1/3 faster if the
kettle is filled only to the outer steam jacket’s welded
seam resulting in a kettle filled to 2/3 capacity.
