OPERATION
OPERATING THE KETTLE
IMPORTANT: Do not lean on kettle or place objects on kettle lip. Serious injury could result if
kettle tipped over, spilling hot contents.
1. Before turning kettle on, read the Vacuum/Pressure Gauge. The gauges needle should be in
the green zone. If the needle is in the "VENT AIR" zone, refer to the Kettle Venting Instructions.
Once heated, the kettle's normal maximum operating pressure is approximately 10-12 psi, while
cooking a water base product.

NOTE: Certain combinations of ingredients will result in temperature variations.
2. Preheat the kettle by turning the ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control to the
desired temperature setting (see "Temperature Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator Light (Green)
will remain lit, indicating the element is on, until the temperature setting is reached. When the
green light goes off, the elements are off, and preheating is complete.
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 food should be placed in the kettle
before heating is begun.
3. Place food product into the kettle. The Heat Indicator Light (Green) will cycle on and off
indicating the elements are cycling on and off to maintain the set temperature.
NOTE: Do not fill kettle above recommended level marked on outside of kettle.
4. When cooking is completed turn ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control to the "OFF'
position.
