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 above the mid-
point of the round sight glass. If the level is too low, see “Jacket
Filling” and “Water Treatment” on page 14 & 15 of this manual.
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 14 of this manual.
3.
Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4.
Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The kettle will then heat
to that set point temperature.
B.
To Transfer Product or Empty Kettle
The kettle is designed and manufactured to be tilted in a controlled manner.
Grasp the insulated plastic ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip on handle when
tilting, while keeping kettle body in a tilted position and when SLOWLY returning
the kettle body to an upright position. DO NOT release kettle handle when kettle
is partly tilted. It will impact in either the upright or fully tilted position and may
cause burns.
C.
To Shut Down Kettle
1.
Turn the thermostat dial to “OFF”.
2.
For prolonged shut-down, or before cleaning the outside of the unit,
shut off the power supply to the unit.

Common Accessories
1.
Lift-Off Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional lift off cover can speed up the
heating of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat in the
cooking vessel and reduces the amount of heat and humidity released
into the kitchen. Use of a cover can reduce some product cook times
and help maintain the temperature, color and texture of products being
held or simmered for extended periods.
Make sure the plastic ball handle is secure on the lift off cover before
using. ALWAYS use the plastic handle to place or remove cover from
the kettle.
Wear protective oven mitts and a protective apron.
When putting the cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle rim,
with its flat edge facing the pouring lip.
