During normal operation, sugar build-up will occur in the kettle. The build-up must be removed
by steaming out the kettle every 3-4 batches, and especially before the machine is turned off for
the day. If making single batches, with the unit turned off between batches, the kettle must be
steamed out after each batch has been completed. Follow the Proper Kettle Cleaning Procedure
in the Care and Cleaning section of this manual.
