ELECTRIC TILTING COUNTER KETTLES
OPERATION
The kettle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the kettle.
VENTING
While the kettle is cold, check the vacuum/ pressure gauge. The gauge should be in the vacuum zone measuring between 25 to 30 in. Hg (84 to 100kPa). If not, there is air in the jacket and it must be removed by venting for proper heating.
1.Place the power switch in the ON position with the kettle empty.
2.Set the temperature control thermostat to boil and heat until the heat indicator light goes off.
3.Pop the pressure relief valve for 10 seconds.
4.Let the kettle cool. Check for a correct vacuum of 25 to 30 in. Hg (84 to 100kPa). If reading is not low enough, repeat the venting procedure steps 1 through 3.

FILLING THE RESERVOIR JACKET
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, the water level is not adequate and the low water control has automatically shut off the heating elements.
Before adding water to the reservoir, the water supply should be analyzed to ensure that hardness is no greater than 2.0 grains per gallon and the pH level is within the range of
7.0to 8.5. Water which fails to meet these standards should be treated, or use ionized distilled water with sodium. Equipment failure caused by inadequate water quality is not covered under warranty.
1.Set the thermostat and power switch to OFF position.
2.Release any pressure by popping the pressure relief valve. Then remove the 1/ 2" plug on the back of the kettle.
3.Insert a funnel into the vent opening and add 3 or 4 ounces of water.
4.Replace and properly tighten 1/2" plug.
5.Turn on the unit.
If the low water light turns on, turn off the unit and repeat steps 3 and 4. If low water light is off, follow the venting procedure (see VENTING) to vent air from reservoir.
ELECTRIC KETTLE OPERATION
1.Turn the console power ON/OFF 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.
NOTE: 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.
