5. To Transfer Product or Empty Kettle:
Crank Tilt Kettles:
The kettle body is tilted using the crank tilt handwheel. Turning the crank
clockwise tilts the kettle body; counter-clockwise returns it to an upright
position. The kettle body will remain in any tilted position.
Hand Tilt Kettles:
The kettle is designed to be tilted in a controlled manner. Grasp the
insulated plastic ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip on handle when tilting,
keeping kettle body in a tilted position or SLOWLY returning the kettle
body to an upright position.
6. Use of Common Accessories
Lift-Off Cover:
a. As with stock pot cooking, an optional lift off cover will speed up
the heating of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat
in the cooking vessel and reduces the amount of heat and humid-
ity released into the kitchen. Use of a cover can reduce some
product cook times and help maintain the temperature, color and
texture of products being held or simmered for extended periods.
b. Make sure the plastic ball handle is secure on the lift off cover
before using. ALWAYS use the plastic handle to place or remove
cover from the kettle. Wear protective oven mitts and a protective
apron.
c. When putting the cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle
rim, with its flat edge facing the pouring lip.
d. When removing cover:
1) Firmly grasp plastic handle
2) Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5 cm) to
allow any steam and water vapor to escape the cooking
vessel. Wait 2-3 seconds.
3) Tilt cover to 45-60° angle and allow any hot condensate or
product to roll off cover back into kettle.
4) Remove cover, ensuring that any remaining hot condensate
or product does not drip on operator, floor or work surfaces.
5) Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the-way surface,
or return to kettle rim. Cover may also be placed in the
optional holder for cover as shown in the photograph on the
next page.
CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE BODY WITH COVER OR
BASKET INSERT IN PLACE. COVER MAY
SLIDE OFF, CAUSING INJURY TO OPERATOR.
