KETTLE LIP. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT
IF KETTLE TIPPED OVER, SPILLING HOT
CONTENTS.
1.
Before turning kettle on, read the
Vacuum/Pressure Gauge (
5
). The gauges
needle should be in the green zone. Once
heated, the kettle's normal maximum
operating pressure is approximately 10-12 psi,
while cooking a water base product.
2.
Ensure that the electrical service to the kettle
is turned on at the fused disconnect switch.
3.
Place the kettle's On-Off Toggle Switch (
1
) to
the "ON" position.
Temperature Range Chart
4.
Preheat the kettle by turning the Solid State
Temperature Control Knob (
2
) to the desired
temperature setting (see above "Temperature
Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator Light
(Green) (
3
) will remain lit, indicating the
burner is lit, until the temperature setting is
reached. When the green light goes off, the
heaters are off, and preheating is complete.
NOTE:
When cooking egg and milk products, the
kettle should not be preheated, as products of this
nature adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These
types of food should be placed in the kettle before
heating is begun.
5.
Place food product into the kettle. The Heat
Indicator Light (Green) (
3
) will cycle on and
off indicating the elements are cycling on and
off to maintain the set temperature.
NOTE:
Do not fill kettle above recommended
level marked on outside of kettle.
NOTE:
The Low Water Indicator Light (Red) (
4
)
should not be lit when kettle is in the upright
position during kettle operation. This light indicates
that the elements have been automatically shut off
by the kettle's safety circuit. It is, however, normal
for the red light to come on when the kettle is in a
tilted position.
6.
When cooking is completed place On-Off
Toggle Switch (
1
) to the "OFF' position.
7.
Pour the contents of the kettle into an
appropriate container by tilting the kettle
forward. Care should be taken to pour slowly
enough to avoid splashing off the product.
NOTE:
As with cleaning food soil from any
cookware, an important part of kettle cleaning is to
prevent food from drying on. For this reason, cleaning
should be completed immediately after cooked foods
are removed.
APPROXIMATE BOILING TIMES
The accompanying chart shows approximate
times required for electric kettles of various
capacities to boil water. The temperature control
knob must be set at “10” (Max.) throughout the
heat-up period. Water will boil about 1/3 faster if
the kettle is filled only to the outer steam jacket’s
welded seam. resulting in a kettle filled to 2/3
capacity.
