3.0 INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION Model KLT-12G (12 gallon capacity) gas fired, self-contained, tilting kettle. The kettle 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. The kettle is equipped with a “clean lock” to hold kettle in cooking position or tilted 105 degrees for ease of cleaning.
4.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable. 1. The appliance and its individual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). 2.
GAS CONNECTION WARNING: Do not connect the appliance to the electrical supply until after the gas connection has been made. CAUTION: The pipe thread compound used when installing pipes must be a type that is resistant to the action of liquified petroleum or propane gases. 1. The Serial and Rating Plate on the unit indicates the type of gas your unit is equipped to burn. DO NOT connect to any other gas type. 2. A 3/4" NPT line is provided at rear for the connection.
INSTALLATION 1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden freight damage to the freight company immediately. 2. Ideally an exhaust system should be directly above the appliance to exhaust combustion gases generated by the unit. 3. The appliance is intended for use on noncombustible floors. The minimum clearance from combustible and noncombustible floor construction is 0" on right side, 0" on left side and 6" (152 mm) from the back of the flue chimney. 4.
5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: Power Switch This switch turns the main power to the unit on and off. It must be turned on to heat the kettle. It should be turned off when the kettle will not be in use for long periods. Thermostat Selects the desired internal kettle operating temperature. It also turns on the temperature light (red) and ignition light (green). Temperature Pilot Light (Red) When the kettle has reached set temperature, temperature light (red) will go off.
TILTING INSTRUCTIONS Your kettle has the standard “Clean Lock” feature and may not be tilted without disengaging the tilt knob located on the console at the top left. This feature locks the kettle in the upright position and also allows the operator to lock the kettle at 105 degrees for ease of cleaning. Follow these steps to tilt kettle: 1. Pull out the tilt knob at the top left of console. 2. Using kettle tilt handle, pull kettle forward to desired angle of pour or until kettle locks at 105 degrees.
6.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 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. CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive. 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.
WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS Metal utensils should never be used as they will scratch the surface of the equipment and rust may begin to form. To remove surface accumulation of rust from the inadvertent use of such utensils, the following procedure may be used. CAUTION: Improper use of this procedure may damage your appliance! 1. Use undiluted white vinegar with a non-abrasive scouring pad (plastic) or cloth on the affected area to remove the rust stain.
WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS (Continued) TO REMOVE HEAT TINT: Darkened areas sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and is not harmful.
8.0 SERVICE GENERAL NOTICE: Contact the factory, the factory representative or local service company to perform maintenance and repairs. In order to avoid problems, check that the unit has been connected to the gas supply type and voltage for which it was supplied. This can be done by examining the rating plate that lists the gas type and voltage for which the unit was manufactured.
SERVICE TECHNICIAN: 1. Bypass the thermostat by removing the wire on terminal 8 and install on piggy back on terminal 10. Ignition and temperature light will come on. 2. Turn on unit and allow it to reach approximately 35 psi. Rotate knob on pressure switch clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease. Use centre of black ring as an indicator until burner shuts off at 35 psi as shown on pressure gauge on front of unit. 3.
ADDING WATER When the “Low Water” light is on, additional water is required and the following steps must be followed: 1. Unit should be completely cold and off. 2. Lift handle of pressure relief valve to release the remaining vacuum in the kettle (relief valve is at left rear of kettle). 3. Remove air vent nut on the elbow located at the rear right of the unit. 4. Using pure distilled water only, pour the water into the opening (a funnel will be helpful).
9.0 TROUBLESHOOTING Unit does not come on: 1. Power switch and/or thermostat is “OFF”. 2. Unit is not plugged in. 3. Main power supply is off. 4. Tilt micro switch out of alignment or faulty. Unit is on electrically but does not heat: 1. Gas supply to the unit is “OFF”. 2. The manual shut-off valve is “OFF”. 3. The thermostat is not turned “ON.” 4. The kettle is not in the upright position. 5. The electronic ignition is not functioning. 6. Pressure switch is not functioning. 7.

S HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Clear yellow liquid. Odourless. Avoid temperatures above 450ΕF, 232ΕC. 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.
possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion. Container may rupture from gas generation in a fire situation. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog or fine spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred if available. General purpose synthetic foams (including 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.
S EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. Safety glasses should be sufficient for most operations; however, for misty operations wear chemical goggles. SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves impervious to this material. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline.
contact with strong acids HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Hazardous decomposition products depend upon temperature, air supply and the presence of other materials. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (See Section 3 for Potential Health Effects.
