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

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

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.
d) 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. . .
e) 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.
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.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSI is
generated in the jacket, the safety valve will open
and relieve the excess pressure.
In the event that the jacket water level gets too
low and the heating elements overheat, the high-
limit control will open and shut off power to the
elements until the kettle cools. Setting the
operating thermostat dial to "OFF" shuts down all
control and heating circuits.
