The operator controls kettle heating with the thermostat dial. The dial turns heating
element power on or off and sets the kettle operating temperature.
A.
To Start Kettle
1.
EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket water level is between the
markers on the gauge glass. If the level is too low, see "Jacket Filling
and Water Treatment" on page 14.
2.
Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show 20 to 30 inches
of vacuum (that is a reading of 20 to 30 below 0 atmospheric pressure),
see "Jacket Vacuum" on page 14.
3.
Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4.
Turn the thermostat to desired setting. The heat indicator light will come
on. Cycling of the light on and off the shows that the kettle is being held
at the set temperature. Once in each cycle the contactors in the support
housing will make a clicking sound. This is normal.

If the unit does not light, turn it off and wait five minutes. Then follow the
instructions again.

The kettle is tilted by means of a hand wheel on the front of the control
housing. The kettle remains in the position to which tilted until turned

if the kettle is so equipped.

Common Accessories
1.
LIft-Off Cover or Counterbalanced Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional cover can speed up the heating
of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat and
reduces the heat and humidity released into the kitchen. Using a cover
can reduce some product cook times and help maintain the
temperature, color and texture of products being held or simmered for
THERMOSTAT DIAL
longer periods.
INDICATOR LIGHT
Be sure the handle is secure on the lift-off cover before using. ALWAYS
use the handle to place or remove cover from the kettle. Wear protective
oven mitts and a protective apron.
TILTING CRA
When putting a lift-off cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle rim,
