GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION:
The Market Forge Series (
F-20L, F-30L, F-40L, F-60L F-80L and F-100L
) and (
FT-20L, FT-30L, FT-40L,
FT-60L FT-80L and FT-100L
) kettles are tri-leg mounted, stainless steel jacketed kettles. The inner liner is
jacketed by an outer shell which creates a space between the two walls and cooking is achieved by allowing
steam flow within this space.
The steam flowing in the space between the shells condenses on the cooler inner shell wall and releases
heat through the wall to the food in the kettle. The condensate drains to the kettle bottom and is released
through a steam trap without any loss or variation on steam pressure. The amount of steam allowed to flow
the jacket controls that kettle heat.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Ensure that steam supply to kettle is operating.
2. Ensure that draw-off valve is tightly closed.
3. Place perforated strainer in kettle if liquid is to be drained.
4. Fill kettle with product to desired level.
5. Turn steam control valve on (counterclockwise) to full open position.
6. When product has reached desired temperature, regulate heat as needed by turning valve clockwise.
7. When product is cooked, close steam control valve and remove product from kettle immediately to prevent
overcooking.
8. Clean kettle immediately. If unable to thoroughly clean kettle immediately, fil kettle wit warm water and mild
detergent. Allow kettle to soak until thorough cleaning can be completed.
CLEANING:
As with cleaning fod soil from any clockware, an important part of kettle cleaning is to prevent foods from
drying on. For ths reason, cleaning should be completed immediately after food is removed from kettle. If
unable to thoroughly clean kettle immediately, fil kettle wit warm water and mild detergent. Allow kettle to
soak until thorough cleaning can be completed.
1. Wash kettle and cover with mild detergent and lukewarm water, using a nylon brush. If food is stuck to
surface use a little heat to loosen the food.
CAUTION:
NEVER scrape the inside of the kettle with metal tools, steel scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Scratches
will result in damage and inappropriate appearance to the kettle and make it harder to clean and maintain ina
sanitary condition.
2. Drain kettle and remove disc in draw-off valve. Rinse and dry.
3. Disassemble and clean draw-off valve as follows:
a. Turn the handle counterclockwise.
c. Remove valve carefully.
e. Rinse and dry.
b. Loosen hex nut on end of handle by turning it
counterclockwise.
d. Wash draw-off area thoroughly using nylon brush.
