Operating Suggestions
Cleveland Range Mixer Kettles are simple and
safe to operate. The following tips will allow you to
maximize the use of your new mixer.
1.
Allow unit to preheat before addition of product to
kettle. However when cooking egg and milk
products, the kettle should NOT be preheated, as
products of this nature adhere to hot cooking
surfaces. These types of foods should be placed
in the kettle before heating is begun.
2. An important part of kettle cleaning is to
prevent foods from drying on. For this reason,
cleaning should be completed immediately
after cooked foods are removed. Refer to the
"Care and Cleaning" instructions for detailed
kettle washing procedures.
3. If a mixer bridge is equipped with a
temperature probe for a controller or
thermometer, the probe must be submerged a
minimum of three inches in the product for
accurate readings.
Safety
DO NOT LEAN ON OR PLACE OBJECTS ON
KETTLE LIP. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT
IF KETTLE TIPPED OVER, SPILLING HOT
CONTENTS.
1. Close TANGENT DRAW-OFF VALVE (17)
before filling the kettle.
2. When raising or lowering MIXER BRIDGE (6),
insure FAUCET SPOUT (14) is not in the way
of MAIN AGITATOR ARM (7) or damage to
spout will result.
3.
As a safety precaution the MIXER SPEED
CONTROL DIAL (4) must first be turned to
zero before unit will start to mix.
4. Always remember, like a cooking pot the
kettles become very hot when cooking. Avoid
contact with bare skin.
Operating the Kettle
1. Before turning kettle on, read the
Vacuum/Pressure Gauge (19). The gauges
needle should be in the green zone. Once
heated, the kettle's normal maximum
operating pressure is approximately 10-12
psi, while cooking a water base product.
2. Ensure that the electrical service to the kettle
is turned on at the fused disconnect switch.
3. Place the kettle's On-Off Heat Switch (10) to
the "ON" position.
Temperature Range Chart
4. Preheat the kettle by turning the Solid State
Temperature Control Knob (12) to the desired
temperature setting (see above "Temperature
Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator Light
(Green) (11) will remain lit, indicating the
burner is lit, until the temperature setting is
reached. When the green light goes off, the
heaters are off, and preheating is complete.
NOTE: When cooking egg and milk products, the
kettle should not be preheated, as products of this
nature adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These
types of food should be placed in the kettle
before heating is begun.
5. Place food product into the kettle. The Heat
Indicator Light (Green) (11) will cycle on and
off indicating the elements are cycling on and
off to maintain the set temperature.
