ELECTRIC STATIONARY KETTLES
OPERATION
: The kettle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, clean- ing or servicing the kettle.
VENTING
Whilethekettleiscold,checkthevacuum/pressure gauge. The gauge should be in the vacuum zone measuringbetween20to30in.Hg(84to100kPa). If not, there is air in the jacket and it must be removed by venting for proper heating. Perform the VENTING procedure located in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
RESERVOIR JACKET
WATER LEVEL CHECK
During use, the reservoir water level must be maintained high enough to submerge the heating elements. If the low water light is illuminated during use, perform the FILLING THE RESERVOIR JACKET procedure located in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
DAILY OPERATION
1.Press the power switch to the ON position.
2.Preheat the kettle by placing the thermostat knob at Simmer/Boil (desired setting) and wait until the temperature light cycles off.
Food products with milk or egg base should be placed into a cold kettle before cooking. Avoid sudden contact of these food products to a hot kettle surface because they stick to the surface.
3.Pour the food to be cooked into the kettle.
TILTING KETTLES
The low water indicator light (red) 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 circuity. It is, however, normal for the low water light (red light) to come on when the kettle is in a tilited posistion.
