OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
1. Ensure that there is an adequate steam supply to the kettle.
2. Turn the steam control valve to the open position by turning the
knob counter-clockwise, then allow the kettle to preheat.
NOTE: When cooking egg and milk products, the kettle should NOT be preheated,
as products of this nature adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These types of foods
should be placed in the kettle before heating is begun.
3. Fill kettle with product to desired level.
4. When the product has reached the desired temperature, regulate the heat,
as required, by turning the steam control valve clockwise for less steam,
and therefore, a lower temperature.
5. When cooking is complete, close the steam control valve by turning the
knob clockwise.
For kettle/steamer combinations:
If the boiler in a steamer is supplying steam to a kettle, always heat the kettle first. After the kettle
contents are heated, and the boiler's steam pressure returns to normal, the steamer may be
used. Pressure steamer compartments should be sequentially started, and preheated before
cooking.
