Operation
The operator controls kettle heating with the
thermostat dial. The dial turns heating element
power on or off and sets the kettle operating
temperature.
A. To Start Kettle
1. EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket
water level is between the marks on the
gauge glass. If the level is too low, see
“Jacket Filling and Water Treatment” on
page 13.
2. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge
does not show 20 to 30 inches of
vacuum (that is, a reading of 20 to 30
below 0), see “Jacket Vacuum” on page
13.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired
setting. The heating indicator light
indicates that the kettle is heating.
Cycling of the light on and off shows that
the kettle is being held at the set
temperature.
Once in each cycle the
contactors in the support housing will
make a clicking sound. This is
normal.

1. The kettle is tilted by means of the crank
on the front of the control housing. The
kettle remains in the position to which
tilted until cranked again.
2. Product may also be transfered by
means of the optional draw-off valve if
the kettle is so equipped.
