ECT-12

DESCRIPTION

Models ACECT-6 (6 gallon capacity) and ACECT-10 (10 gallon capacity) and ACECT-12 (12
gallon capacity)
a

jacket of

kettle. The reservoir is charged with distilled water and

electrically

double-wall

powered, self-contained, countertop, tilting kettles. Each model has

construction forming a sealed reservoir around the lower two-thirds of the

anti-freeze

solution. Kettles are
equipped with a removable electric heating element and controls, including a low water cutoff
device for protection of the heating element. All models are of identical construction, except for
kettle size and element heating capacity.

BASIC FUNCTION

Self-contained kettles operate by generating steam in the kettle reservoir. The sequence of
operation is as follows:

1. Operator turns the power switch to the ON position and sets the

temperature

control dial to

the desired setting from 1 to 10.

2. Control circuit is normally completed to the

temperature

controller if the following conditions

exist:

1. Water level in the kettle reservoir is adequate

to prevent circuit

interruption

by the low
water cut off device. An activated cutoff is indicated by the amber low water light
turning on, and the heating element shut off.

2. Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed through the tilt interlock switch.

3. Thermostat control contacts close to energize contactor coils.

4. Power is supplied to the elements through closed power contactors.

5. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reservoir,
indicated on the

pressure

gauge.

incr

ease in steam pressure is

6. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir reaches the setting of the temperature
control dial, the

temperature

controller opens to break the contacts and shuts off the
heating element. The heating elements will cycle on and off as required to maintain
temperature setting.

different food.

1. Add water and mild detergent to the kettle immediately after use.

2. Scrub kettle interior with nylon brush.

NOTE: Never scrape the inside of the kettle with metal tools, steel scouring
pads, or abrasive cleaners. Scratches will result which will spoil the kettle’s
general appearance and make it harder to clean and maintain a sanitary
condition.

3. Loosen food which is stuck to kettle by allowing it to soak at a low temperature setting.

4. Rinse with clear water and dry.

WARNING: Do not hose down appliance under any condition.
Failure to comply will void warranty.

5. Wipe down exterior, rinse and dry.

CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.

Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride, acids or salts are corrosive and may cause pitting
and corrosion when used over a period of time; this will reduce the life of the appliance.

Should pitting or corrosion occur this is not covered by warranty.

Follow the recommended cleaning instructions. Use a mild detergent, warm water and rinse
thoroughly.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW

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.
Repeated exposures may cause flaking and softening of skin.

INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicity is considered to be extremely low. No hazards
anticipated from swallowing small amounts incidental to normal handling operations.

INHALATION: At room temperature, vapours are minimal due to physical properties. Mists
may cause irritation of upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).

SYSTEMIC (OTHER

propylene glycol may cause central nervous system effects.

CANCER INFORMATION: Did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.

TERATOLOGY (BIRTH DEFECTS): Birth defects are unlikely. Exposures having no adverse

effects on the mother should have no effect on the fetus.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: During a fire, smoke may contain the original

material in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion
products may include and are not limited to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

OTHER FLAMMABILITY INFORMATION: Violent steam generation or eruption may occur
upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Flammable concentrations of vapour can
accumulate at temperatures above 214°F. Liquid mist of this product can burn. Spills of these
organic liquids on hot fibrous

insulations

may lead to

lowering

of the autoignition temperatures
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. 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. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers
and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of re-ignition has passed. Immediately
withdraw all personnel from area in case of rising sound from venting safety device or
discolouration of the container. Move container from fire area if this is possible without hazard.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet,
coat, pants, boots and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire
from a protected location or safe distance.
