3. Leave the draw-off valve open when the kettle is not in use. DAIRY DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING 1. Remove the plug by first removing the handle, then turn the plug to line up with the pin and pull with both hands. It is important to use both hands because the plug is heavy. 2. Put the plug in a plastic pail that contains a mild soap solution. A plastic pail works best, as it reduces the possibility of nicking or scratching the plug. If the plug gets scratched it may not seal correctly and could

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE No preventive maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure instructions. DRAW-OFF VALVE LEAKS If a leak occurs through the valve stem, replace the “O” ring. If the leak can be attributed to faulty sealing occurring between the stem disc and valve seat, then this problem may be corrected by cleaning off the dried-on food residue with extremely fine emery cloth. If the vulcanized rubber stem piece has been damaged, i

TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE (continued) VENTING It is recommended that the “optional” steam trap assembly be installed. This should be plumbed to the exit end of the kettle. The thermostatic trap is a mechanical device that closes on high temperature and opens when the temperature drops, allowing the water which formed from condensate to exhaust but retain the steam under pressure. The temperatures required for the cooking process to function adequately must be greater than the boiling point o
