OM/SM-EE-CE 9
The operator controls kettle heating with
the thermostat dial. The dial turns heating
element power on or off and sets the kettle
operating temperature.
A. To Start Kettle
5.1 EE kettles have three Indicator Lights
on the Control Panel:
• Power Light - Indicates that power
is being supplied to the unit
• Heat Light - Indicates that power
is being applied to the heater
elements
• Low Water Light - Indicates that
water level is too low, and that
corrective action is required.
5.2 EE kettles are equipped with a Water Level
Switch, mounted on a bracket above and
forward of the kettle Pressure Gauge and water
gauge sight glass, inside the control box. This
switch monitors water level and turns on the
low water light to signal the need for additional
water in the kettle jacket.
5.3 EVERY DAY make sure the jacket water level
is between the marks on the gauge glass. If the
level is too low, see “Jacket Filling and Water
Treatment” on page 12.
5.4 While the kettle is cold, 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 11.
5.5 Make sure that the strainer covers the draw-off
Be sure that the pressure/vacuum gauge
shows at least 20 inches of vacuum.
valve outlet at the bottom of the kettle. This
keeps food solids from collecting in the draw-off
area.
5.6 Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting.
The indicator light will confirm that the kettle is
heating. Cycling of the light on and off shows
that the kettle is being held at the set
temperature. Once in each cycle contactors
in the support housing will make a clicking
sound. This is normal.
5.7 To transfer Product or Empty Kettle:
5.7.1 The kettle is emptied by means of its draw-
off valve, by ladling product out, or with the
optional tri-basket insert.
5.7.2 Use of Optional Basket Insert
The optional kettle basket insert set will
assist in cooking water boiled products such
as eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish,
pasta and rice. The nylon mesh liner must
be used for products smaller than the
basket mesh size, (approximately
1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and
small pasta shapes.
5.0 Operation
Each day,
confirm the
jacket water
level by
checking the
water gauge.
