7.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before
cleaning or servicing.
WARNING: Never spray water into electric controls or components!
CAUTION: The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning and servicing.
Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each use or when cooking a different product.
Before cleaning, check that the kettle has cooled enough to touch it.
1. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly and drain to remove any food particles.
2. 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.
3. Rinse the inside of the kettle thoroughly with clean water. Drain the kettle using the tangent
draw-off valve to allow the detergent and water solution to drain.
4. Wipe the exterior of the kettle with a clean, damp cloth.
WARNING: If you are cleaning a valve that is assembled to a kettle,
be sure the kettle is completely empty of any product.
DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING
NOTICE: Draw-off valve has a vulcanized rubber coated stem for better sealing. Do
not over tighten. This may cause the rubber to pull away from stem and permanently
damage it. This is not covered under warranty.
1. Turn the large hex nut on the draw-off valve counter clockwise until it is completely disengaged
from the threads. Grasp the valve knob and slowly pull out the valve stem. Wash the valve
stem, disk and handle. Insert a nylon brush, wet with detergent and water, into the valve body
and tangent draw-off tube. Brush vigorously.
