SERVICE INFORMATION
SECTION 6 SELF-GENERATING COUNTER TOP
STEAM JACKETED KETTLES
EXTREMELY SLOW COOKING TIME
If the cooking time is abnormally slow then the difficulty may be due to air being
present in the kettle jacket. To remove air, follow AIR VENTING INSTRUCTIONS on page
8.
If this problem persists and kettle will not reach and maintain Pressure Gauge zone
of 20 - 25 Vacuum when cold, then assume that a slow leak may be responsible in the
jacket. Check all fitting connections to jacket and also element gasket. Tighten or
replace if necessary.
Slow cooking time may also be due to a burnt out heating element. Test
elements and if defective replace complete element assembly.
KETTLE WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN TURNED ON
Check that power supply is available to kettle.
Kettle will not operate if water level is inadequate in jacket. Follow LOW WATER
LEVEL instructions on page 8.
If water level is sufficient and kettle refuses to operate, then check that
Interlock Switch in Console is fully engaged when kettle is in its normally
upright position. Adjust Retaining Collar if necessary to assure complete
contact with switch and if kettle still refuses to operate, then check for
defective switch and/or loose wiring connections.
Initially, when Termostat Knob is dialed and TEMPERATURE indicator light does not
come on, then it may be assumed that malfunction is due to either a defective
Thermostat or loose wiring connection(s). If TEMPERATURE indicator light comes on
when Thermostat Knob is dialed fully (i.e. setting of '10'). then eventually the
kettle should reach its maximum temperature (290°F) in the jacket and a corresponding
pressure reading of approximately 40 p.s.i. should be evident on the Pressure Gauge,
(on kettles, rated,at 50-p.s.i)
Finally, when the kettle is turned ON and Thermostat Knob dialed, check that the
Contactors.are being energized and power is being made available to the heating
elements. Replace defective Contactors.
