KETTLE CLEANING

WARNING
Disconnect the power supply to the appliance
before cleaning or servicing.
WARNING
Never spray water into electric controls or
components!
CAUTION
The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care
when operating, cleaning and servicing.
CAUTION
Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each use
or when cooking a different product. Before cleaning,
check that the kettle has cooled enough to touch it.
1. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly and drain to
remove any food particles.
2. Using a nylon brush, clean the kettle with a mild de-
tergent and water. Never use steel wool or scouring
powder as it will scratch stainless steel. Plain steel
wool can leave small pieces of steel which can rust.
3. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly with clean
water. Drain the kettle by tilting or the tangent draw-
off valve, depending on model, to allow the detergent
and water solution to drain.
4. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean, damp
cloth.
WARNING
If you are cleaning a valve that is assembled
to a kettle, be sure the kettle is completely
empty of any product.

DRAW OFF VALVE CLEANING

1. If equipped with a tangent draw-off valve, turn the
large hex nut on the draw-off valve counterclockwise
until it is completely disengaged from the threads.
Grasp the valve knob and slowly pull out the valve
stem and disk. Do not allow the disk to come in con-
tact with hard surfaces as it can be damaged and
cause valve leakage. Wash the valve stem, disk and
handle. Insert a nylon brush, wet with detergent and
water, into the valve body and tangent draw-off tube.
Brush vigorously.
2. Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the hex
nut until snug. Rinse the kettle with clean warm wa-
ter.
3. Leave the draw-off valve open when the kettle is not
in use.
Dairy Draw Off Valve Cleaning
1. Remove the plug by first removing the handle, then
turn the plug to line up with the pin and pull with both
hands. It is important to use both hands because the
plug is heavy.
2. Put the plug in a plastic pail that contains a mild soap
solution. A plastic pail works best, as it reduces the
possibility of nicking or scratching the plug. If the plug
gets scratched it may not seal correctly and could
leak.
3. Use a soft cloth or soft brush and clean all surfaces.
4. Using both hands remove the valve from the soap
and rinse well in another plastic pail that contains
fresh water.
5. Wash out the kettle as normal.
6. Once the kettle is washed out, return the plug into the
body. Be sure the plug is inserted into the notch and
turned. Ensure the plug is tight and secure before
letting go of it.
If you are cleaning a body and plug assembly, remove
the plug and follow the above procedures. When finished
with the plug, follow the same instructions for washing the
body. Always use both hands when handling the plugs.
Reassemble the plug into the body and use as normal.
NOTICE
Draw-off valve has a vulcanized rubber coated
stem for better sealing. Do not over tighten.
This may cause the rubber to pull away from
stem and permanently damage it. This is not
covered under warranty.
