Safe Operating Directions
Check that wall and machine power sources are OFF.
Check that the pressure gauge reads between 20 and 30 below zero. If it is near zero, the machine will not work properly.
Place food to be cooked into the kettle. Do not overload the kettle.
Close the cover and turn the machine ON.
Turn the machine to the desired temperature.
When cooking is complete, shut off the machine.
First, turn the temperature OFF, then turn the power OFF.
Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet or turn off the circuit breaker.
Clear the area around the kettle before opening.
Stand to the side of the kettle and open the lid, keeping the lid between you and the open kettle.
Empty the food from the kettle according to kettle type.
FOR A STATIONARY KETTLE
Drain the product through a drain valve.
Ladle it out.
If you used a basket insert, lift the basket straight up.
FOR A TILTING KETTLE
Put the container on a flat, sturdy surface.
Stand to the side.
Pull the handle forward slowly to keep the food from splashing over and causing burns.
When you have emptied all the food
Pour warm water and mild detergent into the kettle above the line where the food had been cooked.
Allow it to soak while the machine cools
