Kettle Controls

POWER SWITCH

This switch turns the main power to the unit on and off.  It 

must be turned on to heat the kettle.  It should be turned 

off when the kettle will not be in use for long periods.

(GREED) IGNITION LIGHT

This light is on whenever the main burner gas is on.

(RED) COOKING LIGHT 

This light is on when the thermostat is calling for heat.

(AMBER) LOW WATER LIGHT

All  kettles  are  supplied  with  sufficient  distilled  water  in 

pressurized jacket.  If at any time the water level falls be-

low that required for proper operation, the kettle will not 

heat and this light will come on.  See “Adding Water” in 

Service section. 

THERMOSTAT

The thermostat selects the desired internal kettle operat-

ing temperature.  The thermostat must be set at a desired 

setting in order for the burner to ignite.

PRESSURE GAUGE

The pressure gauge indicates the internal operating pres-

sure of the kettle.  When cold, the gauge should point to 

the green vacuum zone.  If it does not, refer to “Re-estab-

lishing Vacuum” section. Under normal operation with the 

kettle empty (thermostat set at 10 or 275

°

F) the pressure 

should reach 30 psi.  When loaded the pressure may be 

considerably less.

SIGHT GLASS

The sight glass indicates the minimum and maximum wa-

ter level within the kettle.  If water level falls below mini-

mum level more distilled water should be added.  See 

“Adding Water” in Service section.  

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The pressure relief valve is a safety device which pre-

vents the internal kettle pressure from exceeding 50 psi.  

It should never be tampered with.
