7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 7.1 LOW WATER LEVEL Proper water level must be maintained within the jacket for the kettle to operate. Depletion of water may occur from excessive opening of or leakage through the safety relief valve. If water is below required operating level, either initially at start-up or during use, the kettle will automatically shut off and the LOW WATER signal light will come on. - Page 16 7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued) 7.2 EXTREMELY SLOW COOKING TIME 1. If the cooking time is abnormally slow, then the difficulty may be due to air being present in the kettle jacket. To remove air, follow AIR VENTING INSTRUCTIONS. 2. If the kettle will not reach and maintain Pressure Gauge zone in the green area on the gauge when cold, a slow leak may have developed in the jacket.
- Page 17 7.5 AIR VENTING INSTRUCTIONS Check vacuum/pressure gauge when the kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the green vacuum zone, indicating a vacuum between 25-30 In. Hg (630 - 730 mm Hg). If not, air must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent air. 1.
