WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.
b) Load baskets on a level, stable work
surface.
c) Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get
help from another person if the basket is
too heavy for safe handling.
d) Slowly lower product into kettle and
securely hook the basket to the “Y”
frame.
e) When removing baskets with cooked
product, lift straight up, ensuring basket
bottoms clear the kettle rim and pouring
lip. Wear protective oven mitts and
protective apron.
f) Allow hot water to fully drain from
product, before moving basket away
from the kettle. Do not rest baskets on
kettle rim or pouring lip. If baskets are
too heavy for individual to lift and safely
move, get help. Remove product
immediately from basket into another
container, being sure to avoid contact
with hot product and hot basket
or
. . .
g) Place baskets with food on a stable, flat
surface, inside a solid steamer or bake
pan, to catch any remaining hot water
draining from product.
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided
to help the user understand how the equipment
works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning
the operating thermostat dial from “OFF” to a
desired setting, the thermostat switch closes.
This lights up the heating indicator light and
causes the contactors to close, allowing power
to flow to heating elements.
When the temperature of the steam jacket
reaches the value corresponding to the dial
setting, the thermostat switch opens. This turns
off the heating indicator light and causes the
contactors to open, stopping the power to the
heaters.
As soon as the thermostat senses that the kettle
is cooling below the set point, the thermostat
switch closes, the heating indicator light comes
on, the contactors close, and the heaters come
on again. On-off cycling continues, keeping the
kettle at the set temperature.
This is why the heating indicator light cycles on
and off during normal operation. Every time the
kettle is tilted, the tilt cut-off switch interrupts the
power supply to the heaters, so that the heating
elements will not operate while not submerged in
the jacket water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSI is
generated in the jacket, the safety valve will
open and relieve the excess pressure.
If the jacket water level gets too low before the
heating elements overheat, the high-limit control
will open and shut off power to the elements until
the kettle cools.
Setting the operating thermostat dial to “OFF”
shuts down all control and heating circuits.
