b) Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5
cm) to allow any steam and water vapor to
escape the cooking vessel. Wait 2-3 seconds.
c) Tilt cover to 45-60° angle and allow any hot
condensate or product to roll off cover back into
kettle.
d) Remove cover, ensuring that any remaining hot
condensate or product does not drip on
operator, floor or work surfaces.
e) Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the-
way surface, or return to kettle rim.
CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE BODY WITH COVER IN
PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE OFF, CAUSING
INJURY TO OPERATOR.
2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert can assist in
cooking water-boiled products including eggs,
potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and rice. The
nylon mesh liner must be used when cooking
product smaller than the mesh size of the basket,
which is approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This includes
rice and small pasta shapes.
Tips For Use.
a) Allow for the water displacement of the basket
and product to be cooked. This may mean only
filling the kettle half full of water. Test the basket
and product displacement with the kettle OFF,
and with cold water in the kettle.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN
COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP
LIQUIDS A MINIMUM OF 2-3” (5-8 cm) BELOW
THE KETTLE BODY RIM TO ALLOW
CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING AND
SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD
OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
b) Load basket on a level, stable work surface.
c) Lift the loaded basket with both hands. Get
help from another person if the basket is too
heavy for safe handling.
d) Slowly lower product into kettle.
e) When removing basket with cooked product,
lift basket straight up, ensuring bottom of
basket clears the rim and pouring lip of the
kettle. Wear protective oven mitts and
protective apron.
f) Allow hot water to fully drain from product,
before moving basket away from the kettle.
Do not rest kettle basket on kettle rim or
pouring lip. If basket is too heavy for
individual to lift and safely move, get help
from another person. Remove product
immediately from basket into another
container, being sure to avoid contact with
hot product and hot basket or. . .
g) Place basket with food on stable, flat
surface, setting it inside a solid steamer or
bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water
draining from product.
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to
help the user understand how the equipment works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the
operating thermostat dial from “OFF” to a desired
setting, the thermostat switch closes. This lights up
the heating indicator light and causes the contactors
to close, allowing power to flow to heating elements.
When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches
the value corresponding to the dial setting, the
thermostat switch opens. This turns off the heating
indicator light and causes the contactors to open,
stopping the power to the heaters. As soon as the
thermostat senses that the kettle is cooling below
the set point, the thermostat switch closes, the
heating indicator light comes on, the contactors
close, and the heaters come on again. On-off
cycling continues, keeping the kettle at the set
temperature This is why the heating indicator light
cycles on and off during normal operation. Every
time the kettle is tilted, the tilt cut-off switch
interrupts the power supply to the heaters, so that
the heating elements will not operate while not
submerged in the jacket water.
