Appliance failure caused by inadequate water quality is not covered under warranty.
Caution: Drain the steam jacket if the kettle is to be stored in an unheated area. Water freezing in the
steam jacket may cause damage to the unit.

PERATION
Refilling the steam jacket is seldom necessary, however should the water level go below the minimum level, which
would be indicated by the amber light located on the control console being illuminated, (Refer to Water Fill
Instructions).
It is suggested that the excess air within the kettle jacket be vented after initial filling of steam jacket and start-up
each day by lifting release lever of the safety valve (Refer to Kettle Venting Instructions Section).

.
To operate the kettle, set the thermostat dial to the desired cooking temperature. Allow the unit to cycle a number
of times before assuming the cooking surface has reached and stabilized at the desired temperature. This is
particularly true if the unit is cold. Keeping the cover closed during this heat-up time will speed up the process. If a
new temperature is desired during the cooking operation, turn the control thermostat to the desired setting. Again,
allow the unit to cycle a number of times to insure proper heat stabilization.
Place the thermostat in the "OFF" position when the kettle is not in use.
All self-contained kettles are designed with low water cutoff protection. This is indicated by an amber light, located
adjacent to the thermostat knob.
The unit is designed with automatic shut off when the kettle is tilted. Care should be taken when tilting unit filled
with heated product. We recommend turning off the power when pouring.

TEMPERATURE LESS THAN 125 F
WITH AIR IN KETTLE
When the kettle temperature is at less than 125
°
F and the vacuum/pressure gauge
reading is at or slightly below “0”, it means that air has entered the steam/water
jacket, resulting in little or no vacuum. Air inside the jacket will act as an insulator
therefore reducing kettle efficiency. To remedy this situation, the following venting
procedures should be followed:
