Installation WARNING THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. All Models 1. Installation under a ventilation hood is recommended. Consult local codes. 2. Install and anchor the kettle on a level surface. 3. If the steam supply pressure is greater than the maximum working pressure stamped on the nameplate, you must install a pressure reducing valve in the steam supply line near the kettle. 4.
Initial Start-Up IMPORTANT BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS, AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL. WARNING AVOID EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING STEAM, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. Now that the kettle has been installed, you should test it to ensure that it is operating correctly. 1. Remove all literature and packing materials from inside and outside of the unit. 2. Pour a small amount of water into the kettle. 3. Open the steam inlet valve. 4.
Operation WARNING AVOID EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING STEAM, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. WARNING AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS. TAKE SPECIAL CARE TO AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT KETTLE BODY OR HOT PRODUCT, WHEN ADDING INGREDIENTS, STIRRING OR TRANSFERRING PRODUCT TO ANOTHER CONTAINER. CAUTION DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING.
Sequence of Operation The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help you understand how the equipment functions. When the steam inlet valve is opened, steam flows into the jacket at a pressure determined by the boiler system, or by the pressure reducing valve which serves the kettle. In the jacket steam releases its heat to the kettle as it condenses into water. The steam trap allows condensate (water) to leave the kettle while holding the steam in.
Maintenance WARNING WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS. CAUTION USE OF ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AN AUTHORIZED SUPPLIER WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES AND COULD INJURE THE OPERATOR OR DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT. NOTICE: Contact an authorized representative when repairs are required. Periodic Maintenance A Service Log is provided at the back of this manual with the warranty information.
Cleaning WARNING AVOID ANY DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS. CAUTION MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD, AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE CLEANER CAREFULLY. CAUTION DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT KETTLE DRAWOFF ASSEMBLY PARTS WHEN WASHING.
Cleaning 12. When equipment needs to be sanitized, use a solution equivalent to one that supplies 200 parts per million available chlorine. Obtain advice on sanitizing agents from your supplier of sanitizing products. Following the supplier’s instructions, apply the agent after the unit has been cleaned and drained. Drain and thoroughly rinse off the sanitizer. 13. It is recommended that each piece of equipment be sanitized just before use. 14.
