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.

4.Place food product into the kettle. The Heat Indicator Light (Green) (4) will cycle on and off indicating the burners 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) (5) should not be lit during kettle operation. This light indicates that the burners have been automatically shut off by the kettle's safety circuit. It is normal for the red light to come on when the kettle is in a tilted position..

5.When cooking is completed turn ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control (7) to the "OFF' position.

NOTE: A five minute complete shut-of period is required before relighting.

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.

APPROXIMATE BOILING TIMES

The accompanying chart shows approximate times required for electric kettles of various capacities to boil water. The ON/OFF Switch/Solid State Temperature Control (7) must be set at “10” (Max.) throughout the heat-up 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.
