OPERATING THE KETTLE
DO NOT LEAN ON OR PLACE OBJECTS ON KETTLE LIP. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT IF KETTLE TIPPED OVER, SPILLING HOT CONTENTS.
1.Before turning kettle on, read the Vacuum/Pressure Gauge (4). The gauges needle should be in the green zone. Once heated, the kettle's normal maximum operating pressure is approximately
2.Ensure that the electrical service to the kettle is turned on at the fused disconnect switch.

3.Preheat the kettle by turning the ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control (1) to the desired temperature setting (see above "Temperature Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator Light (Green) (2) will remain lit, indicating the burner is lit, until the temperature setting is reached. When the green light goes off, the heaters are off, and preheating is complete.
NOTE: When cooking egg and milk products, the kettle should not be preheated, as products of this nature adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These types of food should be placed in the kettle before heating is begun.
4.Place food product into the kettle. The Heat Indicator Light (Green) (2) will cycle on and off indicating the elements are cycling on and off to maintain the set temperature.
NOTE: Do not fill kettle above recommended level marked on outside of kettle.
NOTE: The Low Water Indicator Light (Red) (3) should not be lit when kettle is in upright position during operation. This light indicates that the elements have been automatically shut off by the kettle's safety circuit. It is, however, normal for the red light to come on when the kettle is in a tilted position.
5.When cooking is completed place ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control (1) to the "OFF' position.
6.Pour the contents of the kettle into an appropriate container by tilting the kettle forward. Care should be taken to pour slowly enough to avoid splashing off the product.
NOTE: As with cleaning food soil from any cookware, an important part of kettle cleaning is to prevent food from drying on. For this reason, cleaning should be completed immediately after cooked foods are removed.

The accompanying chart shows approximate times required for electric kettles of various capacities to boil water. The ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control (1) must be set at "10" (Max.) throughout the heatup period. Water will boil about 1/3 faster if the kettle is filled only to the outer steam jacket's welded seam, resulting in a kettle filled to 2/3 capacity.
