Operation
To heat the kettle, open the condensate return valve and the steam inlet valve.
Adjusting the inlet valve allows the operator to control the heating rate. Opening the
valve more allows steam to flow into the jacket faster, and thereby heats the product
faster.
The kettle operates efficiently with steam pressures from five PSI to the maximum
working pressure for which the kettle was designed. The maximum allowable
pressure (normally 25 PSI for standard units) is stamped on the kettle.
Once a day, while there is still steam pressure in the jacket, bleed off any entrapped
air and double check the operation of the safety valve. Pull out on its chain, (or lift the
lever on older models) far enough to let steam escape. Then let it snap back into place
to reseat the valve so that it will not leak.

WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
