Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Cleaning: Before first use, wash the interior of the kettle and all accessories (like the ball valve) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Ball Valve Installation: Attach the 1/2" ball valve to the kettle's outlet. Ensure all seals are properly seated to prevent leaks. The valve includes a 13mm barb for hose connection.
- Placement: Place the kettle on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
- Power Connection: Connect the NEMA 6-30P plug (4.5 ft. cord) to a dedicated 220V / 20A power outlet.
Operating Instructions
- Fill Kettle: Add the desired liquid to the kettle. Observe the internal stamped volume markers for accurate measurement (gallons & liters). Do not fill above the maximum fill line.
- Power On: Turn on the main power switch located on the kettle's base. The digital display will illuminate.
- Set Temperature: Use the + and - buttons on the digital control panel to set your desired temperature. The display shows the current temperature.
- Select Heating Elements: The kettle has three independent heating elements: 2000W, 1000W, and 500W. Use the individual switches to activate the desired elements. For faster heating, activate all elements. For maintaining temperature or slower heating, use fewer elements.
- Temperature Unit: To switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C), turn off all heating elements, then press and hold both the + and - buttons simultaneously until the unit changes.
- Heating Process: The kettle will begin heating the liquid to the set temperature. The red indicator light signifies active heating, while the green light indicates standby (temperature reached).
- Liquid Transfer: Once the desired temperature is reached, use the 1/2" ball valve to dispense the liquid. Ensure a suitable container is placed beneath the spigot.
- Power Off: After use, turn off all heating element switches, then turn off the main power switch, and unplug the kettle from the power outlet.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, allow the kettle to cool completely. Hand wash the interior with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the electrical components in water.
- Ball Valve Cleaning: Periodically disassemble the ball valve for thorough cleaning to prevent buildup, especially when brewing or distilling.
- Descaling: If mineral deposits accumulate, descale the kettle using a food-grade descaling solution or a mixture of vinegar and water. Follow the descaling product's instructions or boil the vinegar solution, let it sit, then rinse thoroughly.
- Storage: Store the clean, dry kettle in a cool, dry place.
