Kettles are equipped with a “clean lock”...
3.0 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Ensure that the external electrical shut-off to kettle is on. 2. Check pressure gauge for correct cold kettle reading. Reading should be 25 - 30 In. Hg (84 - 100 kPa) of vacuum. If reading is not low enough, follow VENTING procedure prior to using kettle.
4.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 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.

WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS Metal utensils should never be used as they will scratch the surface of the equipment and rust may begin to form. To remove surface accumulation of rust from the inadvertent use of such utensils, the following procedure may be used.
STAINLESS STEEL (Continued) TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and is not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the foregoing, but tint which does not respond to this procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines using SCOTCH-BRITE™...
6.0 VENTING INSTRUCTIONS Check vacuum/pressure gauge when kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the vacuum zone between 25 - 30 In. Hg (84 - 100 kPa). If not, air is present which must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent air: 1.
