2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UNPACKING Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the kettle is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery. Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate located on the lower rear of the kettle. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, contact your dealer or Blodgett.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A Control Box with power supply equivalent to electrical rating of the kettle should be located conveniently nearby. Remove the wiring compartment cover and make electrical connections per wiring diagram located inside the control housing cover panel. A waterproof electrical connection from power supply to rear of control housing must be provided.
3.0 DESCRIPTION All electrically powered kettles described and referred to in this manual are pressure vessels of a double-wall construction forming a sealed jacket (chamber) enveloping the lower two thirds of the kettle bowl surface.
pressure attained in the jacket and consequently the quicker the cooking process. For example, steam pressurized at 30 p.s.i. attains a temperature of 274º Fahrenheit. Since air is an unsuitable media through which heat may be transferred, it has been removed from the kettle jacket during testing at the factory. The Pressure Gauge should indicate vacuum in the jacket, in the green vacuum zone on the gauge (approximately 20-30 inches Hg), when the kettle is cold or has been inoperative for some time.

When cooking is finished set thermostat knob and power switch to OFF position. 8. Empty product from kettle using draw-off valve.
7.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive. WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing. WARNING: Never spray water into electric controls or components! CAUTION: The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing. Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each use or when cooking a different product. Before cleaning, check that the kettle has cooled enough to touch it. 1.
2. Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the hex nut until snug. Rinse the kettle with clean warm water. 3. Leave the draw-off valve open when the kettle is not in use. DAIRY DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING 1. Remove the plug by first removing the handle, then turn the plug to line up with the pin and pull with both hands. It is important to use both hands because the plug is heavy. 2. Put the plug in a plastic pail that contains a mild soap solution.
equipment could be adversely affected. STAINLESS STEEL To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any other corrosive cleaner. To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines.
8.0 GENERAL MAINTENANCE No general maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure instructions. 9.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 9.1 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.
9.2 EXTREMELY SLOW COOKING TIME If the cooking time is abnormally slow, then the difficulty may be due to air being present in the kettle jacket. To remove air, follow AIR VENTING INSTRUCTIONS. If the kettle will not reach and maintain Pressure Gauge zone in the green area on the gauge when cold, a slow leak may have developed in the jacket. Check all fitting connections to jacket including the heating element gasket.
9.5 VENTING INSTRUCTION Check vacuum/pressure gauge when the kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the green vacuum zone. If not, air must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent air. 1. With the kettle empty, place power switch in ON position. 2. Set temperature control thermostat to „10'. Heat kettle until indicator light goes off. 3. Using a 7/16" wrench, open bleed vent one full turn for 10 seconds and then close. WARNING: SCALD HAZARD.

S HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Clear yellow liquid. Odourless. Avoid temperatures above 450F, 232C. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.) EYE: May cause slight transient (temporary) eye irritation. Corneal injury is unlikely. Mists may cause eye irritation. SKIN CONTACT: Prolonged contact is essentially nonirritating to skin. A single prolonged exposure is not likely to result in the material being absorbed through skin in harmful amounts.
4. FIRST AID EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water. SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower. INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of exposure incidental to proper industrial handling. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a physician. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: No specific antidote. Supportive care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response to reactions of the patient. 5.
AFFF) or protein foams may function, but much less effectively. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire. MEDIA TO BE AVOIDED: Do not use direct water stream. FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary entry. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize property damage. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves impervious to this material. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved airpurifying respirator. In misty atmospheres, use an approved mist respirator. EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Propylene glycol: AIHA WEEL is 50 ppm total, 10 mg/m3 aerosol only. 9.
MUTAGENICITY: S In vitro mutagenicity studies were negative. Animal mutagenicity studies were negative. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (For detailed Ecological data, write or call the address or non-emergency number shown in Section 1.) ENVIRONMENTAL FATE MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING: Based largely or completely on data for major component(s). Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF less than 100 or Log Pow less than 3). Potential for mobility in soil is very high (Koc between 0 and 50).
