Cleveland Range KET-3-T manual Reservoir Fill Procedures, Kettle Venting Instructions

RESERVOIR FILL

PROCEDURES

The kettle's water level must be maintained at the proper level to submerge the heater elements. Under normal operating conditions, the sealed water reservoir should never require the addition of water.

If the red "low water" light comes on during use (while the kettle is in an upright position), the water level has reached a critically low level. The low water protection control has automatically shut off the heater elements. The following procedure must be completed before further use:

NOTE: Have a qualified service technician repair the leakage problem and add water to the unit. Ensure that the red "low water" light is on when the kettle is upright. On tilting kettles, it is normal for the red light to come on when the kettle is in a tilted position, as the elements are not submerged in water at this point.

CAUTION: Only a mixture of distilled water and rust inhibitor should be used when adding water to a partially filled water reservoir. Local tap water conditions may cause kettle damage which is not covered under warranty. Rust inhibitor is purchased locally. Read directions and do not exceed manufacturer's recommendation (excessive rust inhibitor can also cause solidification).
