3.Preheat the kettle by turning the ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control (7) to the desired temperature setting (see above "Temperature Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator Light (Green) (4) will remain lit, indicating the burner is on, until the temperature setting is reached. When the green light goes off, the burners 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.
