ELECTRIC TILTING COUNTER KETTLES
The kettle and its parts are
hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or
servicing the kettle.
VENTING
While the kettle is cold, check the vacuum/
pressure gauge. The gauge should be in the
vacuum zone measuring between 25 to 30 in.
Hg (84 to 100kPa). If not, there is air in the
jacket and it must be removed by venting for
proper heating.
1. Place the power switch in the ON position
with the kettle empty.
2. Set the temperature control thermostat to
boil and heat until the heat indicator light
goes off.
3. Pop the pressure relief valve for 10
seconds.
4. Let the kettle cool. Check for a correct
vacuum of 25 to 30 in. Hg (84 to 100kPa).
If reading is not low enough, repeat the
venting procedure steps 1 through 3.

FILLING THE RESERVOIR JACKET
During use, the reservoir water level must be
maintained high enough to submerge the
heating elements. If the low water light is
illuminated during use, the water level is not
adequate and the low water control has
automatically shut off the heating elements.
OPERATION
Before adding water to the reservoir, the water
supply should be analyzed to ensure that
hardness is no greater than 2.0 grains per
gallon and the pH level is within the range of
7.0 to 8.5. Water which fails to meet these
standards should be treated, or use ionized
distilled water with sodium. Equipment failure
caused by inadequate water quality is not
covered under warranty.
1. Set the thermostat and power switch to
OFF position.
2. Release any pressure by popping the
pressure relief valve. Then remove the
1
/
2" plug on the back of the kettle.
3. Insert a funnel into the vent opening and
add 3 or 4 ounces of water.
4. Replace and properly tighten
1
/2" plug.
5. Turn on the unit.
If the low water light turns on, turn off the unit
and repeat steps 3 and 4. If low water light is
off, follow the venting procedure (see
VENTING) to vent air from reservoir.
ELECTRIC KETTLE OPERATION
1. Turn the console power ON/OFF switch to
the ON position.
2. Preheat the kettle by placing the thermostat
knob at Simmer/Boil (desired setting) and
wait until the temperature light cycles off.
NOTE: Food products with milk or egg base
should be placed into a cold kettle before
cooking. Avoid sudden contact of these
food products to a hot kettle surface
because they stick to the surface.
3. Pour the food to be cooked into the kettle.
