3.0 OPERATION (Continued)
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The pressure relief valve is a safety device which prevents the internal kettle pressure from
exceeding 50 psi. It should never be tampered with.
DAILY OPERATION
Daily operation should consist of turning on the power switch and setting thermostat for the
desired temperature.
It is recommended the kettle be preheated prior to use. Milk or egg based products should be
placed in the kettle before heating however, to prevent sticking. The kettle is preheated when
the cooking light goes off the first time.
At the end of the day, or if the kettle will not be used for some time, shut the unit down by
turning the power switch to "OFF".
Clean as required or on a daily basis. See "CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS" section.
END USE TIPS
For easier cleaning add cold water to the kettle immediately after removing contents.
When preparing foods containing vinegar or tomatoes, or those which have a high salt content,
clean the kettle immediately after using to prevent pitting.
Do not use salt to clean the kettle. This will scratch the surface.
If using salt water to cook shellfish, be sure to rinse and wash the kettle thoroughly after use.
Bring milk and egg products slowly up to temperature in a cold kettle to prevent product from
adhering to the sides. When preparing milk-based products do not preheat the kettle.
When planning actual cooking capacity, allow room at top for stirring without spilling.
When preparing puddings from a mix, place the powder in a cold kettle, add a small amount of
liquid, and stir to form a thin paste. Turn on the kettle and add the remainder of the liquid.
Continue as per recipe instructions.
When browning meat, bring the kettle up to temperature before adding. This will seal the juices
in the meat.
