4 OM-KLS-E
Blodgett Model KLS-E are floor-mounted, tilting, steam-jacketed kettles which have thermostatically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supplies and appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. Heat produced by electric heating elements boils water in a reservoir below the jacket to produce steam under pressure.
The kettle is surrounded by air-insulated stainless steel sheathing. Stainless steel panels enclose all of the controls. Three stainless steel, tubular legs support the unit. Kettles are available in 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 gallon capacities. Kettle bodies are welded into one piece. Models are all equipped with a sanitary tangent draw-off (product faucet) valve and a stainless steel strainer. This standard draw-off is two inches in diameter, and uses a compression disc valve. The unit is controlled with a thermostat, which turns electric power on or off, and sets the cooking temperature.
Instruments are provided to show what is happening inside the unit:
•Water gauge glass: shows the level of water within the steam jacket
•Pressure/vacuum gauge: shows the steam pressure and if there is air in the jacket
•Indicator lamp: Lights when the kettle is being heated
Automatic controls within the unit:
•Contactor: Controlled by the thermostat, turns heating element power on or off
•Low-water cutoff: Turns off power to keep heating elements from overheating if water loss exposes them above the water level.
•Safety valve: Releases steam if jacket pressure gets too high
The jacket is filled at the factory with water that contains rust inhibitors. When air is removed from the jacket, the kettle efficiently provides a uniform heating temperature range of 150°F to approximately 270°F (65 to 132°C). This range allows the kettle to be used for warming, simmering, boiling or braising.
The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish and the exterior is given a uniform Number 3 finish. The unit is ASME shop inspected and registered with the National Board for working pressures up to 30 PSI.
Optional equipment for the kettles includes:
•Three inch draw-off valve
•1/4” perforated or solid disc strainer
•Basket inserts
•Water fill faucets
•Automatic water filler
•Kettle brush kit

Installation
WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THE KETTLE MUST BE DONE BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
DANGER
ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT AT THE TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE TO GROUND UNIT COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION AND DEATH.
The kettle is provided with complete internal wiring and is ready for immediate connection. Wiring diagrams are provided in this manual and on the inside of the control housing service panel. Any mechanical or electrical changes must be approved by Food Service Engineering Department.
The completed unit has been operated at the factory to test all controls and heater elements.
1.Set the kettle in place and level it by turning the bullet feet to adjust leg length. Allow clearance around the unit for cleaning, maintenance and service.
2.Confirm that the jacket water level is above the mid point of the gauge glass. If the level is low, follow the instructions under “Jacket Filling and Water
Treatment,” Pages 11 - 12.
3.The open end of the elbow on the outlet of the safety valve must face downward. If it does not, turn it to the correct position.
4.Provide electrical power specified on the equipment electrical information plate.
Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical Code in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70 - (current edition).
5.The equipment is shipped ready for three phase operation. Refer to the wiring diagram for single phase operation.
6.Bring in the electrical supply through opening on control housing that is located below the thermostat dial. An opening is provided for 1-1/4” (35mm) conduit fitting.
Water tight, 90° elbow connection is recommended. Incoming power connections are made at the terminal block.
Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical Code in compliance with ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). When there is a choice between applicable codes
Blodgett recommends following the more stringent code. (A BX connection is not recommended.)
7.Electrically ground the unit at the terminal provided.
8.Check the following to confirm that your kettle is properly installed:
•Room for cleaning and servicing
•The kettle is level
•The correct amount of water is in the kettle jacket
•Safety valve is pointed down
•Unit is connected with a waterproof electric power supply of the proper voltage, phase and amperage rating
