Operating & Cleaning Instructions
WARNING
The kettle and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning and servicing the appli-
ance.
OPERATION
1. Fill kettle with product to desired level.
2. Slowly turn the steam control valve ON to full open
position.
3. The water or food should boil 3 - 4 minutes per gal-
lon. If it does not, then incoming pressure should be
checked to determine that it is adequate to operate
the kettle efficiently.
4. Regulate steam control valve depending on type of
food being prepared.
5. When food is cooked, turn off steam, remove food
and clean kettle immediately to prevent residue from
drying on kettle bowl surface.
CLEANING
1. Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each
use.
2. Ensure that steam supply is OFF.
3. Pre-rinse inside of kettle thoroughly and tilt to remove
any food particles.
4. Using a nylon brush, clean kettle with a mild deter-
gent and warm water rinse. Never use steel wool or
scouring powder as it will scratch stainless steel.
5. Tilt kettle and rinse thoroughly draining out detergent
solution.
WARNING
Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride, acids or
salts are corrosive and may cause pitting and corrosion
when used over a period of time; this will reduce the life
of the appliances. Should pitting or corrosion occur this is
not covered by warranty.
Follow the recommended cleaning instructions. Use a
mild detergent, warm water and rinse thoroughly.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
No preventive maintenance is required other than adher-
ing to the Cleaning Procedure instructions.
Safety Valve Maintenance and Testing
CAUTION
Under normal operating conditions a “try lever
test” should be performed every two months.
Under severe service conditions, or if corro-
sion and/or deposits are noticed within the
valve body, testing must be performed more
often. A “try lever test” should also be per-
formed at the end of any non-service period.
CAUTION
Hot, high pressure fluid may be discharged
from body drain and vent during “try lever”
test. Care must be taken to avoid any bodily
contact.
CAUTION
High sound levels may be experienced during
“try lever” test. Wear proper safety equipment
and exercise extreme care! Test at, or near,
half of the operating pressure by holding the
test lever fully open for at least two seconds
to flush the valve seat free of sediment and
debris. Then release lever and permit the
valve to snap shut.
If lift lever does not activate, or there is no
evidence of discharge, turn off equipment im-
mediately and contact a licensed contractor or
qualified service personnel.
