OPERATION
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS:
1. Power Switch — This switch turns the main power to the unit on and off. It must be turned on to heat the kettle. It should
be turned off when the kettle will not be in use for long periods.
2. (Red) Cooking Light — This light is on whenever the electric element is on.
3. (Amber) Low Water light — All kettles are supplied with sufficient distilled water in the pressurized jacket. If at any time
the water level falls below that required for proper operation, the kettle will not heat and this light will come on. See
"Adding Water" section of SERVICE instructions.
4. Thermostat — The thermostat selects the desired internal kettle operation temperature.
5. Pressure Gauge — The pressure gauge indicates the internal operating pressure of the kettle. When cold, the gauge should
indicate 25 to 30 inches mercury column vacuum. If it does not, refer to "Re-establishing Vacuum" section of SERVICE
instructions. Under normal operation with the kettle empty (thermostat set to 298° F) the pressure should be between 40
and 45 psi. When loaded the pressure may be considerably less.
6. Sight Glass — The sight glass indicates the minimum and maximum water level within the kettle. If water level falls
below minimum level more distilled water should be added. See "Adding Water" section of SERVICE instructions.
7. Pressure Relief Valve — The pressure relief valve is a safety device which prevents the internal kettles pressure from
ever exceeding 50 psi. It should never be tampered with.
COOKING HINTS
END USER TIPS:
It is a good idea to preheat the empty kettle EXCEPT when cooking milk and egg products.
When preparing foods containing vinegar or tomatoes, or which have a high salt content, clean the kettle immediately after
using to prevent pitting.
Do not use salt to clean the kettle. This will scratch the surface.
If using salt water to cook shellfish, be sure to rinse and wash the kettle thoroughly.
Grease the tilting mechanism on the KTLE about once a year with a non-toxic lubricant.
Bring milk and egg products slowly up to temperature in a cold kettle to prevent product from adhering to the sides.
Install a faucet or a hose to make the kettle easier to clean.
When planning actual cooking capacity, allow room at top for stirring without spilling.
When food is cooked it should be removed immediately to prevent overcooking and difficulty in cleaning.
If the pointer on the pressure gauge is between -25 and -30 and the kettle is at room temperature, the vacuum inside the kettle is
good.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS:
1. Turn off when not in use.
2. Set thermostat correctly.
3. Use lid.
4. Maintain equipment.
