7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued)
7.2 EXTREMELY SLOW COOKING TIME
1. If the cooking time is abnormally slow, then the difficulty may be due to air being
present in the kettle jacket. To remove air, follow AIR VENTING INSTRUCTIONS.
2. If the kettle will not reach and maintain Pressure Gauge zone in the green area on
the gauge when cold, a slow leak may have developed in the jacket. Check all
fitting connections to jacket including the heating element gasket. Tighten or
replace if necessary.
3. Slow cooking time may also be due to a burnt out heating element. Test elements
and if defective, replace complete element assembly.
7.3 KETTLE WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN TURNED ON
1. Check that power supply is available to kettle.
2. Kettle will not operate if water level is inadequate in jacket. Follow LOW WATER
LEVEL instructions.
3. If water level is sufficient and kettle refuses to operate, then check that Tilt Interlock
Switch in Console is fully engaged when kettle is in its normally upright position.
Adjust Retaining Tilt Collar if necessary to assure complete contact with switch and if
kettle still does not operate, then check for defective switch and/or loose wiring
connections.
4. When Thermostat Knob is dialed and TEMPERATURE indicator light does not come
on, then it may be due to either a defective Thermostat or loose wiring connection(s).
5. Check that the Contactor(s) are being energized and power is being made available to
the heating elements when thermostat is dialed. Replace defective Contactor(s).
7.4 DRAW-OFF VALVE LEAKS
If leak occurs through the valve stem, replace the “O” ring. If the leak is caused by faulty
sealing between the stem disc and valve seat, this can be corrected by cleaning off dried on
food residue with an extremely fine emery cloth. If the vulcanized rubber stem piece has been
damaged, it must be replaced.
