MAINTENANCE
ALL SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED SERVICE
TECHNICIAN.
This kettle requires very little preventative maintenance other than daily cleaning.
The pressure relief valve must be tested twice a year.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE TESTING PROCEDURE
The pressure relief valve (supplied by others) must be checked at least twice a year as part of the
normal maintenance performed. Refer to pressure relief valve manufacture for correct testing
procedure.
STEAM TRAP
To remove line condensate that forms inside the steam jacket, each kettle should be equipped
with a steam trap in the line of the kettle outlet to the drain. A good steam trap at startup releases
air and wet steam into the drain line for a few minutes, then holds the steam jacket. During
cooking, the trap periodically releases accumulated condensate. If the kettle's cooking
performance becomes inadequate after long use, replacement of the steam trap with a new one
may restore kettle operation to peak efficiency.
MARINE LOCK
Inspect lock at least twice yearly.
1. Check for excessive play or wear on pivot. Adjust or replace as required.
2. Insure lock is catching over the centre of the stop pin and not bent to one side or the other.
Adjust or replace as required.
