CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE BODY WITH COVER IN
PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE OFF, CAUSING
INJURY TO OPERATOR.
2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert can assist in cooking
water-boiled products including eggs, potatoes,
vegetables, shell fish, pasta and rice. The nylon
mesh liner must be used when cooking product
smaller than the mesh size of the basket, which is
approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and
small pasta shapes.
Tips For Use.
a) Allow for the water displacement of the basket
and product to be cooked. This may mean only
filling the kettle half full of water. Test the basket
and product displacement with the kettle OFF,
and with cold water in the kettle.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN
COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP
LIQUIDS A MINIMUM OF 2-3” (5-8 cm) BELOW
THE KETTLE BODY RIM TO ALLOW CLEARANCE
FOR STIRRING, BOILING AND SAFE PRODUCT
TRANSFER.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD
OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
b) Load basket on a level, stable work surface.
c)
Lift the loaded basket with both hands. Get help
from another person if the basket is too heavy
for safe handling.
d) Slowly lower product into kettle.
e) When removing basket with cooked product, lift
basket straight up, ensuring bottom of basket
clears the rim and pouring lip of the kettle. Wear
protective oven mitts and protective apron.
f)
Allow hot water to fully drain from product,
before moving basket away from the kettle.
Do not rest kettle basket on kettle rim or
pouring lip. If basket is too heavy for
individual to lift and safely move, get help
from another person. Remove product
immediately from basket into another
container, being sure to avoid contact with
hot product and hot basket
or
. . .
g) Place basket with food on stable, flat
surface, setting it inside a solid steamer or
bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water
draining from product.
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to
help the user understand how the equipment works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the
operating thermostat dial from “OFF” to a desired
setting, the thermostat switch closes. This lights up
the heating indicator light and causes the contactors
to close, allowing power to flow to heating elements.
When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches
the value corresponding to the dial setting, the
thermostat switch opens. This turns off the heating
indicator light and causes the contactors to open,
stopping the power to the heaters. As soon as the
thermostat senses that the kettle is cooling below the
set point, the thermostat switch closes, the heating
indicator light comes on, the contactors close, and
the heaters come on again. On-off cycling continues,
keeping the kettle at the set temperature This is why
the heating indicator light cycles on and off during
normal operation. Every time the kettle is tilted, the
tilt cut-off switch interrupts the power supply to the
heaters, so that the heating elements will not operate
while not submerged in the jacket water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSI is generated
in the jacket, the safety valve will open and relieve
the excess pressure.
If the jacket water level gets too low and the heating
elements overheat, the high-limit control will open,
shutting off power to the elements until the kettle
cools.
Setting the operating thermostat dial to “OFF” shuts
down all control and heating circuits.
