Cleaning
Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing.
The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing.
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 detergent 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 the tangent draw-off valve,
depending on model, to allow the detergent and water solution to drain.
4. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth.
If you are cleaning a valve that is assembled to a kettle, be sure the kettle is completely empty of any product.
Draw-Off Valve Cleaning
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.
1. 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. 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.
2. Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the hex nut until snug. Rinse the kettle with clean warm water.
3. Leave the draw-off valve open when the kettle is not in use.
