Proper Kettle Cleaning Procedure
Follow the procedure below to steam the sugar build-up out of the kettle every 3-4 batches during regular
operation and before the machine is turned off for the day. The kettle must also be steamed out after
making single batches, if the machine is turned off between batches.
1. After all product has been removed, and the kettle has cooled for 15-20 minutes, carefully pour
24 oz. of water into the kettle.
CAUTION: Beware of rising steam; keep face and hands clear of rising steam.
2. Place the lid on the kettle, and turn the Heat/Motor Switch ON.
3. When water starts to boil, turn Heat/Motor Switch OFF.
4. Turn the Motor Only Switch ON; allow the machine to cool, then remove the lid and carefully
pour the contents of the kettle into a pan or bucket. Steam kettle twice to remove all traces of
product.
5. Turn the Motor Only Switch OFF.
6. With all switches OFF, wipe out any sugar build-up remaining in kettle using a clean damp cloth,
then kettle is ready to begin another batch.
7. Do not leave water in kettle or pan overnight
—clean pans/bucket for next use.
