FILLING THE WATER JACKET

APPLIANCE FAILURE CAUSED BY INADEQUATE WATER QUALITY IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

Fill the outer jacket of the kettle to the top of the band on the gauge glass with a chemically pure distilled water, along with a suitable rust inhibitor.

It should not be necessary to frequently add distilled water to the jacket, as little distilled water is lost in normal operation.

USING THE KETTLE

Before use, preheat the kettle empty. Set the thermostat at No. 12 or No. 13. When the orange light goes out, load food and set thermostat dial for desired cooking temperature.

KETTLE FOOD DRAW-OFF VALVE

When the food draw-off valve is turned off (no liquid or food product flow), the valve handle will point to either the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock position. To open (allowing liquid or food product flow), slowly pull handle forward. With the valve handle pointing to the 6 o'clock position, the valve is in a fully open position. This food draw-off valve system requires a right or left turn to close off food flow.

To allow for evenly mixed food products to flow into a food service pan or stock pot, first thoroughly stir the food product in the kettle before opening the food draw-off valve. Pans or pots may be placed on a portable dolly for easy movement and handling.

CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

After Each Use

Clean and flush the kettle immediately after each use, especially if the product cooked contained salt or vinegar in any concentration.
