INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL, SELF-GENERATING STEAM JACKETED
TILTING FLOOR MOUNTED KETTLES, ELT-20, ELT-30, ELT-40, ELT-60, ELT-80, ELT-100
PART NUMBER 10069R2 7 2003-07-03
3.0 INTRODUCTION
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.
The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be a liquid or semi-
liquid consistency to achieve complete contact with the bowl surface. Food products will fully
absorb the heat transmitted through that surface from the pressurized steam generated in the
kettle jacket.
The jacket is intended to function as a self contained sealed chamber with a permanent solution
of water and antifreeze sufficient not only to immerse and thereby protect replaceable electric
heating elements, but also provide the steam source during the steam generating process.
The heating elements are thermostatically controlled to provide precise temperatures
throughout the range from slow simmer to rolling boil.
All tilting kettles are intended to be permanently floor mounted on legs with adjustable flanged
feet.
A sealed stainless steel tilt mechanism permits the kettle to tilt forward a full 90º for complete
emptying. The tilting mechanism is self locking for positive stop action.
CAPACITIES
All models are suffixed with either - 20, - 30, - 40, - 60, - 80 or -100 to indicate the capacity of
that kettle in US gallons. Thus an ELT-40 indicates a two thirds jacketed electrically powered
steam kettle mounted on legs with a capacity of 40 US gallons.
