RESERVOIR FILL
PROCEDURES
The kettle's water level must be maintained at the
proper level. Under normal operating conditions, the
sealed water reservoir should never require the addition
of water.
If the red "low water" light comes on during use (while
the kettle is in an upright position), the water level has
reached a critically low level. The low water protection
control has automatically shut off the gas burner. The
following procedure must be completed before further
use:
NOTE:
Have a qualified service technician repair the
leakage problem and add water to the unit. Ensure that
the red "low water" light is on when the kettle is upright.
On tilting kettles, it is normal for the red light to come on
when the kettle is in a tilted position.
CAUTION:
Only distilled water should be used when
adding water to a partially filled water reservoir (If unit is
completely empty see KETTLE JACKET FILLING &
DRAINING PROCEDURES on page #25). Local tap
water conditions may cause kettle damage which is not
covered under warranty. Rust inhibitor is purchased
locally. Read directions and do not exceed
manufacturer's recommendation (excessive rust
inhibitor can also cause solidification).
