The roller bearing tilting mechanism with a case - hardened self - locking worm and segment gear makes tilting the kettle effortless using the handwheel beside the pot.
Accurate Temperature Controls
The steam kettle is controlled by solid - state temperature controls, which are more accurate than mechanical thermostats. It can maintain a consistent temperature with a variance of less than 1 degree, crucial for simmering delicate recipes. It also has an ON/OFF power switch and two LED lights indicating the heat cycle and low - water level.
Using the Cleveland KGL - 80 - T Natural Gas Tilting Steam Kettle is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's properly installed on a flat surface and connect the natural gas supply using the 3/4 - inch gas inlet and the water supply using the 1/2 - inch water inlet. Then, turn on the power switch. The LED lights will show the heat cycle and water level. You can set the desired temperature using the solid - state temperature controls. Once the kettle is heated, add your ingredients for cooking. When you're done cooking, use the handwheel to tilt the kettle and pour out the food through the wide butterfly - shaped pouring lip.
Here are some important notes. Always ensure the water level is sufficient to avoid overheating. Don't operate the kettle without water. Keep the area around the controls dry to prevent damage. Make sure the gas connection is secure to avoid leaks.
