DESCRIPTION
1.
Steam Inlet Valve
Opens and closes the steam supply to the kettle.
2.
Power Tilt Switch
Used for tilting the kettle up or down.
3.
Drain Cock
Used to drain condensate from the bottom of tilting
units only.
4.
Tangent Draw-Off Valve
Used for draining product or wash water from kettle.
5.
Pressure Relief Valve (not shown)
In the unlikely event that there is an excess steam
build-up in the jacket, this valve automatically opens
to relieve this pressure.
OPERATION
1.
Ensure that there is an adequate steam supply to the
kettle.
2.
For optimum performance on free-standing floor model
tilting kettles, open drain cock to drain condensate
from the kettle’s jacket, then close drain cock before
applying steam to a cold kettle.
3.
If the kettle is equipped with a tangent draw-off valve,
ensure that it is closed before filling the kettle. To keep
solid food particles out of the draw-off valve, place
either a solid or a perforated strainer in the bottom of
the kettle.
4.
Turn the steam control valve to the
open position by turning the knob counter-
clockwise, then allow the kettle to preheat.
NOTE:
When cooking egg and milk products, the kettle
should NOT be preheated, as products of this nature
adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These types of foods
should be placed in the kettle before heating is begun.
5.
Fill kettle with product to desired level.
6.
When the product has reached the
desired temperature, regulate the heat, as
required, by turning the steam control
valve clockwise for less steam, and
therefore, a lower temperature.
7.
When cooking is complete, close the
steam control valve by turning the knob
clockwise.
8.
Power tilt kettles are provided with a rocker-type
center-off switch for raising and lowering the kettle. To
raise the kettle, press the top of the switch. To lower
the kettle, press the bottom of the switch. Release the
switch, allowing it to return to the center “off” position
when the desired degree of tilt has been reached.
Limit switches are provided that automatically stop the
tilt motion at the maximum limit of movement in either
direction.
To raise and lower a manual tilt kettle, turn the
handwheel counter-clockwise to lower and clockwise
to raise.
FOR KETTLE/STEAMER COMBINATIONS:
If the boiler in a steamer is supplying steam to a kettle,
always heat the kettle first. After the kettle contents are
heated, and the boiler's steam pressure returns to normal,
the steamer may be used. Pressure steamer compartments
should be sequentially started, and preheated before
cooking.
