Operation

A.   Controls

 

Operator controls for the kettle are:

1.   Manual gas valve which controls the supply of gas from the main line to 

the unit.

2.   On-Off (toggle) switch. This switch turns the control circuit power supply on 

or off.

3.   Thermostat dial, which turns the thermostat on or off, and sets the kettle 

operating temperature.

4.   Indicator Lights to alert operator of unit conditions:

a.   Power On Indicator - shows that the unit is turned on

b.   Heat Indicator - indicates that main gas is on to produce steam in the 

kettle jacket.

c.   Low Water indicator - shows that jacket water is low

d.   Unit gas pressure regulator adjustment - located behind the access 

door in the kettle skirt.

B.   Operating Instructions

1.   To Start Kettle

a.   CHECK THE WATER LEVEL IN THE JACKET EVERY DAY. The level should 

be at the middle of the sight glass. If the level is low, see Jacket 

Filling in the Maintenance section of this manual

b.   Check the pressure/vacuum gauge. If the gauge does not show 20 

to 30 inches of vacuum (i.e. a reading of 20 to 30 below zero), see 

Jacket Vacuum in the Maintenance section of this manual.

c.   DO NOT attempt to light any burner with a flame.

d.   Open main supply gas valve (handle in line with the pipe).

e.   Turn the toggle switch to ON. For 90 seconds, or until it succeeds, the 

electronic ignition control will attempt to light the pilot.

f.   Once the pilot is lit, turn the thermostat to the desired setting.

g.   If the pilot does not light, turn it off and wait five minutes. At that time 

follow the instructions for starting once again.

h.   If the unit repeatedly fails to light, contact an authorized Service 

Agency.
