CLEANING

The kettle interior and exterior should be thoroughly
washed after each use when a different food is to be
cooked next or when cooking is completed for the day.
Before cleaning check that the kettle has cooled
enough to touch it.
A.
Check that the steam supply is turned "OFF".
B.
Pre-rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly and
drain to remove any food particles.
C.
Using a nylon brush, clean kettle with a mild
detergent and warm water rinse. Never use steel
wool or scouring powder as it will scratch
stainless steel. Also, plain steel wool can leave
small pieces of steel wool which can rust.
D.
Tilt kettle to full tilt or open the (optional) tangent
draw off valve to allow the detergent and water
solution to drain. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water.
E.
On draw off models, by hand, turn the large hex
nut on the (optional) 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 the tanget draw-off tube.
Brush vigorously.
F.
Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the
hex nut until snug. Rinse the kettle with clean
warm water.
G.
Leave the draw off valve open when the kettle is
not in use.
H.
Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean damp
cloth.
