Section 3 OPERATION

MODEL: FF-20CE
ELECTRIC SELF-GENERATING COUNTER- TOP STEAM JACKETED KETTLE

3.1 COOKING

1. Ensure that the external electrical shut-off to kettle is on.

2. Check pressure gauge for correct cold kettle reading. Reading should be 25-30 In.Hg (84-100 k/Pa) of vacuum. If reading is 

not low enough, follow VENTING procedure prior to using kettle. (See Section 3.3).

3. Place power switch in ON position.

4. Preheat kettle by placing thermostat knob at '10' and wait until TEMPERATURE light goes off.

NOTE: 

Preheating should not be used when cooking milk and egg food products which adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These 
foods should be placed into kettle before heating is begun.

5. Add food to be cooked into kettle.

6. Place thermostat knob at required temperature setting from '1' to '10' coinciding with a temperature range from roughly 90°F to 

300°F  (32°C  to  149°C)  in  the  reservoir.  Approximate  cooking  temperatures  with  water  at  various  thermostat  settings  are  as 
follows:

          8                          231°                                    110° 
          9                          273°                                    134°
         10                         300°                                    149°

7. When cooking is finished, set thermostat knob and power switch 

to OFF position.

8. Pour finished product from kettle using tilt handle. Be careful to 

avoid splashing.

9. Add water to kettle for cleaning purposes.

10. Wash kettle thoroughly. See CLEANING procedure.
