FILLING THE WATER JACKET
APPLIANCE FAILURE CAUSED BY INADEQUATE WATER QUALITY IS NOT COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY.
Fill the outer jacket of the kettle to the top of the band on the gauge glass with a chemically pure distilled
water, along with a suitable rust inhibitor.
It should not be necessary to frequently add distilled water to the jacket, as little distilled water is lost
in normal operation.
USING THE KETTLE
Before use, preheat the kettle empty. Set the thermostat at No. 12 or No. 13. When the orange light
goes out, load food and set thermostat dial for desired cooking temperature.
KETTLE FOOD DRAW-OFF VALVE
When the food draw-off valve is turned off (no liquid or food product flow), the valve handle will point
to either the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock position. To open (allowing liquid or food product flow), slowly pull
handle forward. With the valve handle pointing to the 6 o'clock position, the valve is in a fully open
position. This food draw-off valve system requires a right or left turn to close off food flow.
To allow for evenly mixed food products to flow into a food service pan or stock pot, first thoroughly stir
the food product in the kettle before opening the food draw-off valve. Pans or pots may be placed on
a portable dolly for easy movement and handling.
CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
After Each Use
Clean and flush the kettle immediately after each use, especially if the product cooked contained salt
or vinegar in any concentration.
Daily — Kettle Food Draw-Off Valve
1. With kettle empty, pull valve handle to the 7 o'clock position. (A pin locks the valve plug into the
valve body and you can only remove or replace the valve plug when the valve handle is in the
7 o'clock position.) Kettles built before July 2003 thru March 1992 - the removable position is at 4
o'clock. Kettles built prior to March 1992 - the removable position is at 6 o'clock.
2. Pull tapered plug from valve body.
3. Using warm soapy water, wash the entire valve body and open area into the kettle interior.
4. Wash the interior and exterior of the valve plug. CAUTION: Do not drop or hit the valve plug.
This will nick or dent the soft metal.
