2. Safety instructions
2.1 General
The Viking Pro kettle has been designed and manufactured in compliance with the Direc-
tive regarding Safety of Machinery, the Low Voltage Directive, the Directive regarding
Electromagnetic Compatibility and the Directive regarding Pressure Equipment currently
in force.
The Viking Pro kettle is a pressurized vessel with a maximum operating pressure of 1 bar.
Overheating is prevented by means of both mechanical (safety valve, pressure switch) and
electronic control.
The kettle is provided with water level control, which prevents heating if there is not
enough water in the steam generator.
Heating does not function when the kettle is tilted. The mixer (accessory on M models)
does not function when the kettle is tilted. The mixer stops when the emergency/stop
switch is pressed. The switch is released by turning it to the right.
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for consequences caused by incorrect use
or use against the operation instructions.

3.1 Intended use of the appliance
The Viking Pro kettle is designed for professional food preparation. Using Viking Pro for
other purposes may cause malfunction of the appliance or jeopardize safety at work. It is
forbidden to put in the kettle corrosive ingredients or substances reacting with each other.
Please observe that long-term effect of some substances used in food preparation is cor-
rosive. Such substances are, for example, salt, acetic acid, citric acid and lactic acid.
3.1.1 Use for other purposes
Metos does not take responsibility for functional troubles or damages caused by misuse
or use for other purposes than stated above.
3.2 Construction
The construction of the kettle is of stainless steel throughout (AISI 304). The inner bottom
and jacket are of acid-proof steel (AISI 316). The kettle is triple-jacketed and thermally
insulated throughout.
3.3 Operating principle
The Viking Pro kettle is heated by steam generated with heating elements. The steam gen-
erator and heating elements are located in the lower section of the kettle.
The kettle tilts by means of a tilting motor (M model). The mixing functions (accessory)
are performed by means of a gear motor. Cooling (accessory) is based on cold water/liq-
uid circulating inside the kettle's steam jacket. The control panel of the appliance is locat-
ed on the kettle's right-hand pillar (control pillar).

4.1 Before use
4.1.1 Preparing the use
Daily check before use
• Water supply (hot/cold) is open.
• No inappropriate objects in the kettle.
• Scrapers are correctly attached to the mixing tool. See "Positioning the mixing tool
and scraper".
• The mixing tool has been locked in its place: locking part (one end of the handle)
in the groove of the mixer axle, with the handle turned to a vertical position. Secure
fixing by trying to lift the tool out of the kettle by the upper blade.
Quarterly check (safety valve)
It is the responsibility of the user to check the safety block of the kettle four times a year.
The kettle is equipped with a safety block. Testing the block is performed as described
below.
It is not allowed to stand behind the kettle during the safety block check, because, when
the check is completed, the safety valve at the kettle's rear section opens, blowing hot
steam out of the kettle. The test also produces a loud, whistling sound. Use hearing pro-
tectors.
• Switch the kettle on, set the maximum temperature and wait until the kettle heats
up to the set value (pressure switch indicator light illuminates).
• Simultaneously press the yellow buttons and hold
them down throughout the test.
• The heating is switched on (forced) until the safety
valve opens. The pressure gauge shows 1,5 bar.
• The check is completed by releasing the buttons.
• Turn the temperature switch to ”zero”.
• For the user's self-control, safety block checks and
other procedures carried out to maintain the appliance in working order should be
recorded in the 'Maintenance information' table below.
In case the safety valve does not open as described above, the use of the kettle is absolute-
ly forbidden. Contact immediately an authorized service company to repair the fault.

4.2 Operation procedures
4.2.1 Operating the control panel - General
Do not turn the switches or press the buttons too quickly or using force.
4.2.2 Tilting the kettle
Tilt the kettle only when the kettle’s lid is completely open.
The M model is tilted by turning the tilting switch to the left
and by holding the switch in this position. The kettle tilts as
long as the switch is turned to the left or until the kettle’s
extreme position is reached.
The M model is returned to the cooking position by turning
the tilting switch to the right and by holding the switch in
this position. The movement continues as long as the switch
is turned to the right or until the kettle reaches an upright
position. Always return the kettle completely to an upright
position. Heating and mixing functions of a tilted kettle are
prevented.
4.2.3 Positioning the mixing tool and scrapers
First attach the scrapers by placing the locking pins on the mixing tool into the holes on
the scrapers and by pushing the scrapers, bending them lightly, behind the pins. The mix-
ing tool is equipped with 1-3 scrapers, depending on the size of the tool
Scraper 40 l 60 l 80 l 100 l 150 l

2. Bottom scraper B 1 pc 1 pc 1 pc
3. Bottom scraper C 1 pc 1 pc 1 pc

Scrapers are not needed when preparing large quantities of mashed potatoes or when
kneading dough. Use scrapers in all other cooking modes to increase the efficiency of heat
transfer and to help the cleaning of the kettle.
It is easiest to attach the mixing tool to the mixer axle when the kettle is in a tilted position.
Push the ring on the mixing tool into the kettle's mixer axle and fit the mixing tool in place,
while the lifting handle is straight so that the locking device of the lifting handle sets in
the groove at the upper end of the mixer axle.
Then turn the handle aside.
Make sure that the mixing tool is locked in its place by trying to lift/pull it out of its place
by pulling at the mixer blade, for example.

4.2.4 Cooking
Turn the heating switch clockwise. The farther the switch is
turned, the greater the kettle’s heating effect will be.
The heating can only be switched on when the kettle is in an upright position (cooking
position). In case the heating function is selected and the kettle is not in an upright posi-
tion, the kettle does not heat. Open the lid and set the kettle in the cooking position.
4.2.5 Changing the temperature
Turn the heating switch to the left (less heat) or to the right (more heat).
4.2.6 Stopping the cooking
Turn the heating switch to its initial position (extreme posi-
tion to the left) until the indicator light for heating goes out.
4.2.7 Mixing functions
Starting and stopping the mixer, changing the mixing speed
The mixer can only be started when the safety grid is in place (safety device).
The mixer is started and the mixing speed increases when the mixing switch is turned to
the right. The mixing speed decreases when the switch is turned to the left. The mixer
stops when the mixing switch is turned to its initial position (extreme position) to the left.
The mixer also stops according to the instructions when the lid is opened. The correct way
to stop the mixer is to turn the mixing switch to its initial position.
