Functional description
3. Functional description
3.1. Intended use of the appliance
The kettle is designed for professional food preparation. Using the kettle for other purposes is prohibited.
It is forbidden to put corrosive ingredients or substances reacting with each other in the kettle. Please ob-
serve that long-term effect of some substances used in food preparation is corrosive. Such substances
are, for example, salt, acetic acid, citric acid and lactic acid.
The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is due to a so called passive layer, which is a very thin chro-
mium oxide fi lm. This fi lm is naturally and fairly quickly formed on the stainless steel surface when the
surface is in contact with oxygen (air). The chromium oxide fi lm is hard, but in some situations it is pos-
sible to damage it with hard materials. When using steel tools, there is a potential risk of scratching the
inner jacket and hence increased risk of corrosion. Therefore, we recommend using wooden or plastic
tools in the kettle, especially when mixing and scraping.
3.1.1. Use for other purposes
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for functional troubles or damages caused by misuse or
use for other purposes than stated above.
3.2. Construction
The construction of the kettle is of stainless steel throughout. The inner bottom and jacket are of acid-
proof steel. The kettle is triple-jacketed and thermally insulated throughout.
3.3. Operating principle
Viking (Basic): no mixer
Viking Combi: with mixer
The electrically heated kettle is heated by steam generated with heating elements. The steam generator
and heating elements are located in the lower section of the kettle.
The steam heated kettle is heated with direct steam provided from the facility’s steam network. The
steam jacket reaches the upper edge of the kettle.
The kettle tilts by means of a tilting motor (40 - 150 -liter combi kettles / 40 – 200 -liter basic kettles).
Larger kettles (200 - 400 liters combi kettles / 300 – 400 liters basic kettles) are equipped with a hydrau-
lic tilting mechanism. The mixing functions are performed by means of a gear motor. Cooling (option) is
based on cold water circulating inside the kettle’s steam jacket. The raised control panel of the appliance
is situated on the kettle’s right-hand pillar (control pillar).
