WARNING: THE STEAM KETTLE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING, AND SERVICING THE STEAM KETTLE.
CONTROLS (Figs. 1, 2)
Main Power Switch — Turns main power ON or OFF.
Switch must be turned ON to heat the kettle. Turn the
switch OFF when the kettle will not be in use for long
periods.
(Red) Cooking Light — This light is on whenever the
main burner gas is on. On units with electronic ignition,
this light may be on without the burners being on if the
standing pilot becomes extinguished — see page 8.
(Amber) Low Water Light — All kettles are supplied with
sufficient distilled water inside the pressurized jacket. If
at any time the water level falls below that required for
proper operation, the kettle will not heat and this light will
come on. Contact your Vulcan-authorized servicer to
have water added to the jacket and to have the vacuum
pressure re-established.
Thermostat — Sets the kettle's internal operating
temperature (150 – 285°F) or OFF.
Pressure Gauge — Indicates the internal operating
pressure of the kettle. When cold, the gauge should
indicate 25 to 30 inches mercury column vacuum. If it
does not, contact your Vulcan-authorized servicer. Under
normal operation with the kettle empty (and the thermostat
set to 285° F) the pressure shall reach 38 psig. When
loaded the pressure may be considerably less.
Water Level (Sight Glass) — Indicates the minimum and
maximum water level in the pressurized internal portion
of the kettle. If the water level falls below the minimum
level, contact your Vulcan-authorized servicer.
Pressure Relief Valve — This device is located inside
and prevents the internal kettle pressure from exceeding
50 psig. It should never be tampered with.
Draw-Off Valve — Allows you to empty the contents of
the kettle into a suitable container. USE CARE WHEN
HANDLING HOT FOOD. Soups with large chunks may
need to be ladled.
