1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The appliance must be installed in accordance with: 1. State and/or local codes. 2. In the USA, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (Latest Edition). In Canada, the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA standard C22.1 (Latest Edition) INSTALLATION 1. Select a location to provide drainage directly below the pour path. Allow sufficient rear clearance from wall for kettle to tilt freely and completely without obstruction. 2.
2.0 INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION Models KTT-20E (20 gallon capacity) is electrically powered, self-contained, tilting kettles. Each model has a jacket of double-wall construction forming a sealed reservoir around the lower twothirds of the kettle. The reservoir is charged with distilled water.
3.0 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Ensure that the external electrical shut-off to kettle is on. 2. Check pressure gauge for correct cold kettle reading. Reading should be 25 - 30 In. Hg (84 100 kPa) of vacuum. If reading is not low enough, follow VENTING procedure prior to using kettle. 3. Place power switch in ON position. 4. Preheat kettle by placing thermostat knob at ‘10' and wait until TEMPERATURE light goes off. 5. Add food to be cooked into kettle.
SAFETY VALVE MAINTENANCE AND TESTING CAUTION! Under normal operating conditions a “try lever test” should 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” should also be performed at the end of any non-service period. CAUTION! Hot, high pressure fluid may be discharged from body drain and vent during “try lever” test. Care must be taken to avoid any bodily contact.
4.0 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.
STAINLESS STEEL (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.
6.0 VENTING INSTRUCTIONS Check vacuum/pressure gauge when kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the vacuum zone between 25 - 30 In. Hg (84 - 100 kPa). If not, air is present which must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent air: 1. Place power switch in ON position; kettle empty. 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 close. 4. Cool kettle.
APPENDIX ‘A’ MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PREPARATION INFORMATION: Prepared for use in Canada by: E H & S Product Regulatory Management Department DOW CHEMICAL CANADA INC. P.O. Box 1012 Sarnia, Ontario, N7T 7K7 (800) 331-6451 1.
HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Clear yellow liquid. Odorless. Avoid temperatures above 450°F, 232°C. 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.
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. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider use of unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES: Propylene glycol: AIHA WEEL is 50 ppm total, 10 mg/m3 aerosol only. 9.
