PROTECTION
To heat the kettle, open the steam inlet valve. Adjusting the valve allows you to
control the heating rate. Opening the valve more allows steam to flow into the jacket
faster, and heats the product faster.
The kettle operates efficiently at pressures from five PSI to the maximum working
pressure for which the kettle was designed. The maximum pressure is stamped on
the kettle nameplate.
1.
Tilting
To transfer product or empty the kettle: the kettle is designed and manufac-
tured to be tilted in a controlled manner. Grasp the insulated plastic ball firmly.
Maintain a firm grip on handle when tilting, while keeping the kettle body in a
tilted position and then SLOWLY returning the kettle body to an upright position.

Operation
Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional lift-off cover can speed up the
heating of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat in the
cooking vessel and reduces the amount of heat and humidity released
into the kitchen. Use of a cover can reduce some product cook times and
help maintain the temperature, color and texture of products being held
or simmered for extended periods.
Make sure plastic ball handle is secure on the lift off cover before using.
ALWAYS use the plastic handle to place or remove the cover from the
kettle. Wear protective oven mitts and a protective apron.
When putting the cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle rim, with
its flat edge facing the pouring lip.
When removing cover:
a)
Firmly grasp the plastic handle
b)
Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2" (3-5 cm) to allow any
steam and water vapor to escape the cooking vessel. Wait 2-3
seconds.
c)
Tilt cover to 45-60° angle and allow any hot condensate or prod-
uct to roll off cover back into kettle.
d)
Remove the cover, ensuring that any remaining hot condensate or
product does not drip on operator, floor or work surfaces.
e)
Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out- of-the-way surface, or
return to kettle rim.
