How we repair your Tilting Kettle
A tilting kettle is a commercial steam-jacketed kettle that cooks soups, sauces and stocks and tilts to pour, heated by gas, electricity or direct steam. A tilting kettle uses burners or elements, ignition or power controls, and temperature controls or thermostats to manage surface heat. A technician checks ignition, gas pressure or element continuity, switches and thermostats, and the condition of the cooking surface.
A down griddle or charbroiler can shut down a line station, so commercial cooking surfaces are scheduled as priority visits.

Safety relief valve leaking
- Likely causes
- Over-pressure or a worn relief valve seat.
- What our technician checks
- The valve is inspected and replaced; it is never plugged.
Kettle not heating
- Likely causes
- Low water level in a self-contained jacket, a failed burner or element, a low-water cutoff tripped or a closed steam supply.
- What our technician checks
- Jacket water level, heat source and low-water cutoff are tested.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Check the jacket water level sight glass on self-contained models.
- Confirm gas, power or steam supply is on.
- Note the pressure gauge reading when the kettle is hot.
- Make sure the tilt lock is released before tilting.
- Clean the draw-off valve thoroughly after each use.
Safety first: The kettle jacket is a pressure vessel, so never tamper with the relief valve, and tilt slowly to avoid scalding spills.
