Operation
The operator controls kettle heating with the
thermostat dial. The dial turns heating element
electric power on or off and sets the operating
temperature of the kettle.
A. To Start Kettle
1. EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket
water level is above the mid-point of the
round sight glass. If the level is too low, see
“Jacket Filling” and “Water Treatment” on
page 14 of this manual.
2. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge
does not show 20 to 30 inches of vacuum
(that is, a reading of 20 to 30 below 0), see
“Jacket Vacuum” on page 13 of this
manual.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired
setting. The heating indicator light indicates
that the kettle is heating, and cycling of the
light on and off indicates that the kettle is
being held at the set temperature. Once in
each cycle the contactors in the support
housing will make a clicking sound. This is
normal.
B. To Transfer Product or Empty Kettle
:
The kettle is designed and manufactured to be
tilted in a controlled manner. Grasp the
insulated plastic ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip
on handle when tilting, while keeping kettle
body in a tilted position and when SLOWLY
returning the kettle body to an upright position.
DO NOT release kettle handle when kettle
is partly tilted
. It will impact in either the
upright or fully tilted position and may cause
burns.
