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.

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.
