13. Meter Complete this test using markings on mixer arm or a measuring strip if there are no
markings on the unit. Test the meter at the following values up to capacity (Should be
approx. ±1/4"). During this test check that the (interrupt) switch stops the water flow

the meter.
GALLONS LITERS
5 20
20 80
40 160
80 320

When the (continue/reset) switch is turned to "reset" the displayed quantity on the
meter should be erased and the count begins at zero.
INSTALLATION CHECKS
Although the kettle has been thoroughly tested before leaving the factory, the installer is responsible for
ensuring the proper operation of kettle once installed.
Performance Checks
1. Supply power to the kettle by placing the fused disconnect switch to the "ON"
position.
2. Before turning the kettle on, read the vacuum/pressure gauge. The gauge's
needle should be in the green zone.
3. Place the kettle's power ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position.
4. Turn the temperature control knob to "1" (Min.). The green LED light should remain lit, indicating the
burner is lit, until the set temperature is reached (124°F/50°C). Then the green light will cycle on and off,
indicating the element is cycling on and off to maintain temperature.
5. Tilt the kettle forward (tilting models only). After a few seconds the red "LOW WATER" light should be lit
when the kettle is in a tilted position. This light indicates that the element has automatically been shut off
by the kettle's safety circuit. This is a normal condition when the kettle is in a tilted position.
6. Raise the kettle to the upright position (tilting models only). The red "low water" light should go out when
the kettle is upright.
7. Turn the temperature control knob to "10" (Max.) and allow the kettle to preheat. The green light should
remain on until the set temperature (260°F/127°C) is reached. Then the green light will cycle ON and
OFF, indicating the element is cycling ON and OFF to maintain temperature. Fill the kettle with cold
water to the steam jacket’s welded seam.
8. When all testing is complete, empty the kettle and place the power ON/OFF switch in the “OFF”
position.
