WARNING
Disconnect the power supply to the appliance
before cleaning or servicing.
WARNING
Never spray water into electric controls or
components!
WARNING
The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care
when operating, cleaning and servicing.
WARNING
Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride,
acids or salts are corrosive and may cause
pitting and corrosion when used over a period
of time; this will reduce life of the appliance.
Should pitting or corrosion occur this is not
covered by warranty.

CLEANING

Follow the recommended cleaning instructions. Use a
mild detergent, warm water and rinse thoroughly.
Daily
Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each
use or when cooking a different product. Before cleaning,
check that the kettle has cooled enough to touch it.
1. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly and drain to
remove any food particles.
2. Using a nylon brush, clean the kettle with a mild de-
tergent and water. Never use steel wool or scouring
powder as it will scratch stainless steel. Plain steel
wool can leave small pieces of steel which can rust.
3. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly with clean
water. Drain the kettle by tilting or through the tangent
draw-off valve, depending on model, to allow the de-
tergent and water solution to drain.
4. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean, damp
cloth.
Monthly
1. Clean around burner air mixers, louvered panels and
pilots if grease or lint have accumulated.
Twice a year (minimum)
Have an authorized service person clean and adjust the
unit for maximum performance. At least twice a year the
unit venting system should be examined and cleaned.
DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING
NOTICE
Draw-off valve has a vulcanized rubber coated
stem for better sealing. Do not over tighten.
This may cause the rubber to pull away from
stem and permanently damage it. This is not
covered under warranty.
WARNING
If you are cleaning a valve that is assembled
to a kettle, be sure the kettle is completely
empty of any product.
If equipped with a tangent draw-off valve, turn the large
hex nut on the draw-off valve counterclockwise until it is
completely disengaged from the threads. Grasp the valve
knob and slowly pull out the valve stem and disk. Do not
allow the disk to come in contact with hard surfaces as
it can be damaged and cause valve leakage. Wash the
valve stem, disk and handle. Insert a nylon brush, wet
with detergent and water, into the valve body and tangent
draw-off tube. Brush vigorously.
1. Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the hex
nut until snug. Rinse the kettle with clean warm water.
2. Leave the draw-off valve open when the kettle is not
in use.
