5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION OF KETTLES
1. If kettle has a butterfly valve close it.
2. Fill kettle with product to desired level.
3. Slowly turn the steam control valve ON to full open position (counterclockwise).
4. The water or food should boil 3 to 4 minutes per gallon. If it does not then incoming pressure
should be checked to determine that it is adequate to operate the kettle efficiently.
5. Regulate steam control valve depending on type of food being prepared.
6. When food is cooked, turn off steam, remove food and clean kettle immediately to prevent
residue from drying on kettle bowl surface.
OPERATION OF MIXER UNIT
Power to operate the mixer unit is controlled by the "Main Power" switch located on the left side
of the control panel. Place switch in the "ON" position. Ensure that mixer "speed" control is set
to the "stop" position. Set the mixer switch, located beside the main power switch, to "ON"
position. Note that the agitators should not be turning. The speed control has four basic
settings which are: stop, slow, medium and fast. Set the speed control to the slow position and
observe that the agitators turn.
WARNING: Never place hands inside kettle when agitators are in
motion.
Increasing the speed setting on the control will increase the speed at which the agitators turn.
NOTE: Always start agitators at the slow speed and then gradually increase to
the desired speed to avoid splashing or "throwing" the product over edge of
kettle.
TO RAISE MIXER BRIDGE
To tilt kettle for emptying or to clean agitators, the mixer bridge will tilt hydraulically upward and
manually swing clear of the kettle. To do this, first turn speed control to "STOP" and then turn
mixer switch to "OFF."
