PROBLEM
A

Probable Cause
Remedy

Inadequate steam flow.
Check for correct steam using chart below.
If kettle is connected to a steamer and powered by a
generator the units should be operated sequentially
(kettle boiling first, then start steamer).
2.
Steam trap not operating properly.
The trap should open periodically to
dump condensate, then close.
If it does not open or close it should be
cleaned or replaced.
3.
Food batches are not always the same.
When checking make certain that the original state (ie.
fresh or frozen) and quantity of food product is the same.
