Low Water Cutoff — Pilot and Main Burner won't operate if water level in jacket is low.
Pressure Relief Valve — Protect the kettle against excessive pressure should the thermo-
Pressure Limit Switch
stat malfunction. The pressure relief valve is rated so that it will
relieve
generated steam faster than the burners can generate it.
Thermostatic Air Vent — Allows air to vent out of the jacket as steam is generated; closes
at approximately 180°F
(
82.2°C
) to prevent the steam from escaping.
Vacuum Breaker — Allows air to enter the jacket after cooldown, preventing negative
pressure.
Sight Glass Assembly — Visually shows the water level in the jacket when both valves are
open and pressure is equalized.
Fill Assembly — Tube where water can be added to the jacket. A manual valve
and a check valve are provided to protect you should the manual
valve be inadvertently opened while the jacket is under pressure.
Food Draw-Off Valve — Allows food and liquid to be drawn off from the kettle.
FOOD DRAW-OFF VALVE
The food draw-off valve is designed to allow food and liquid to be removed from the kettle in an
easy and safe manner. When the food draw-off valve is off, the valve handle is pointed to either
the 9 o'clock position or the 3 o'clock position as you look down on the valve. In this off position,
no liquid or food product will flow. To open the valve and allow liquid or food product to flow,
slowly turn handle forward. With the valve handle pointing to the 6 o'clock position, the valve is
fully open. Turn the valve 90 degrees right or 90 degrees left to close the valve and shut off the
flow of food. Stir the food product in the kettle thoroughly before opening the draw-off valve; this
makes the food product evenly mixed before it flows into a suitable food service pan or stock pot.
Pans or pots may be placed on a portable dolly for ease of movement and handling. Refer to
Cleaning, page 11.
