8.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each use when cooking a different
product or when cooking is completed. Before cleaning, check that the kettle has cooled
enough to touch it.
1. Check that the steam supply and power supply is OFF.
2. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly and drain to remove any food particles.
3. Using a nylon brush, clean the kettle with a mild detergent and water. Never use
steel wool or scouring powder as it will scratch stainless steel. Plain steel wool can
leave small pieces of steel which can rust.
4. Tilt the kettle to its highest position to allow the detergent and water solution to drain.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
5. By hand, turn the large hex nut on the draw-off valve counterclockwise until it is
completely disengaged from the threads. Grasp the valve knob and slowly pull out
the valve stem and disk. Do not allow the disk to come in contact with hard surfaces
as it can be damaged and cause valve leakage. Wash the valve stem, disk and
handle. Brush vigorously.
6. Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the hex nut until snug. Rinse the kettle
with clean warm water.
7. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth.
8. Never spray water into the electrical controls.
CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride, acids or salts are corrosive and may cause
pitting and corrosion when used over a period of time; this will reduce the life of the
appliance.
Should pitting or corrosion occur this is not covered by warranty.
Follow the recommended cleaning instructions. Use a mild detergent, warm water and
rinse thoroughly.
