2.0 INTRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION

Models KTG-6E (6 gallon capacity) and KTG-10E (10 gallon capacity) and KTG-12E (12 gallon capacity) electrically powered, self-contained, countertop, tilting kettles. Each model has a jacket of double-wall construction forming a sealed reservoir around the lower two-thirds of the kettle. The reservoir is charged with distilled water and anti-freeze solution. Kettles are equipped with a removable electric heating element and controls, including a low water cutoff device for protection of the heating element. All models are of identical construction, except for kettle size and element heating capacity.

BASIC FUNCTION

Self-contained kettles operate by generating steam in the kettle reservoir. The sequence of operation is as follows:

1. Operator turns the power switch to the ON position and sets the temperature control dial to the desired setting from 1 to 10.
2. Control circuit is normally completed to the temperature controller if the following conditions exist:

A. Water level in the kettle reservoir is adequate to prevent circuit interruption by the low water cut off device. An activated cutoff is indicated by the amber low water light turning on, and the heating element shut off.
B. Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed through the tilt interlock switch.

1. Thermostat control contacts close to energize contactor coils.
2. Power is supplied to the elements through closed power contactors.
3. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reservoir, increase in steam pressure is indicated on the pressure gauge.
4. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir reaches the setting of the temperature control dial, the temperature controller opens to break the contacts and shuts off the heating element. The heating elements will cycle on and off as required to maintain temperature setting.

3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The safety relief valve may discharge large amounts of steam and/or hot water. Keep away from the discharge tube at all times. Warn others in the area so they will not be startled by the sound.

1. Ensure that the external electrical shut-off to the kettle is on.
2. Check pressure gauge for correct cold kettle reading. Reading should be in the green vacuum zone. If reading is not in the vacuum zone, follow VENTING INSTRUCTIONS prior to using the kettle.
3. Place power switch in ON position.
4. Preheat the kettle by placing thermostat knob at '10' and wait until TEMPERATURE light goes off.

NOTE: Preheating should not be used when cooking milk and egg food products which adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These foods should be placed into kettle before heating is begun.

1. Add food to be cooked into the kettle.

2. Place thermostat knob at required temperature setting from 1 to 10 coinciding with a temperature range from roughly 90EF to 289EF (32EC to 143EC, jacket temperature.) Approximate cooking temperatures with water at various thermostat settings are as follows:

THERMOSTAT SETTINGS	APPROXIMATE TEMPERATURE (JACKET)
	FAHRENHEIT	CELSIUS
4	90E	32E
5	125E	52E
6	160E	41E
7	195E	91E
8	231E	110E
9	273E	134E
10	289E	143E

3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

1. When cooking is finished set thermostat knob and power switch to the OFF position.
2. Pour finished product from kettle using tilt handle. Be careful to avoid splashing.
3. Add water to kettle for cleaning purposes.
4. Wash kettle thoroughly. See CLEANING procedure.

TILTING INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TILT WITH LID ON KETTLE.

1. To empty contents, turn handwheel counterclockwise to desired position.
2. To return kettle to cooking position, turn handwheel clockwise until in upright position.

NOTE: When kettle is tilted a safety switch will automatically turn off the power supply. The kettle will not operate once the kettle has been tilted.

4.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing.

The kettle interior and exterior should be thoroughly washed after each use in preparation of a different food.

1. Add water and mild detergent to the kettle immediately after use.
2. Scrub kettle interior with nylon brush.
3. Loosen food which is stuck to kettle by allowing it to soak at a low temperature setting.

NOTE: Never scrape the inside of the kettle with metal tools, steel scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners. Scratches will result which will spoil the kettle's general appearance and make it harder to clean and maintain a sanitary condition.

1. Rinse with clear water and dry.

WARNING: Do not hose down appliance under any condition. Failure to comply will void warranty.

1. Wipe down exterior, rinse and dry.

CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.

Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride, acids or salts are corrosive and may cause pitting and corrosion when used over a period of time; this will reduce the life of the appliance.

Should pitting or corrosion occur this is not covered by warranty.

Follow the recommended cleaning instructions. Use a mild detergent, warm water and rinse thoroughly.

5.0 MAINTENANCE

Daily

1. Ensure there is adequate vacuum in the kettle jacket before operating.
2. Ensure that the appliance and controls are not damaged and that it can be safely operated.
3. Ensure the work area of the operator is not slippery and is clear of debris so as to provide a safe workplace.
4. Ensure the appliance is clean before each use.
5. Check that the LOW WATER control is operational. Tilting the kettle more than 5 or 10 degrees should cause the LOW WATER signal light to come on.

Every Two Weeks

1. Perform a "try lever test" on the safety relief valve.

WARNING: The safety relief valve may discharge large amounts of steam and/or hot water. Keep away from the discharge tube at all times. Warn others in the area so they will not be startled by the sound.

Under normal operating conditions a “try lever test” must be performed every two months. Under severe service conditions, or if corrosion and/or deposits are noticed within the valve body, testing must be performed more often. A “try lever test” must also be performed at the end of any non-service period.

Test at or near maximum operating pressure by holding the test lever fully open for at least 5 seconds to flush the valve seat free of sediment and debris. Then release lever and permit the valve to snap shut.

If lift lever does not activate, or there is no evidence of discharge, discontinue use of equipment immediately and contact a licensed contractor or qualified service personnel.

Every Six Months

1. Lubricate the bronze trunnion bearings.
2. Check the worm gearbox for evidence of oil leaks. It is permanently lubricated with synthetic oil (Shell TIVELA OIL SC320 or equivalent) and should not require maintenance.
3. Check that the tilt mechanism has not become loose or has excessive backlash.

6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

6.1 LOW WATER LEVEL

Proper water level must be maintained within the jacket for the kettle to operate. Depletion of water may occur from excessive opening of, or leakage through the safety relief valve.

If water is below required operating level, either initially at start-up or during use, the kettle will automatically shut off, and the LOW WATER signal light will come on.

In order for the kettle to operate, the following procedure must be followed:

1. Trip the safety relief valve lever to relieve all pressure from the kettle jacket.
2. At exterior rear of kettle jacket remove nut from Air Vent.
3. Insert funnel into Air Vent opening and slowly add the indicated amount of distilled water for:

KTG-6E Add 50 oz. (1.5 litres)

KTG-10E and KTG-12E Add 100 oz. (3 litres)

1. Replace Air Vent nut.
2. Follow Air Venting Instructions below.
3. Continue normal Operating Procedure of kettle.

6.2 VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

Check pressure gauge when kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the green vacuum zone. If not, air is present which must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent air.

1. With an empty kettle, place power switch to the ON position.
2. Set temperature control thermostat to '10'. Heat kettle until heat indicator light goes off.
3. Using a 7/16" wrench, open bleed vent one full turn for 10 seconds and then close.
4. Cool kettle. Check for proper vacuum in the green vacuum zone. If reading is not low enough, repeat entire procedure, steps 1 to 3.
