Equipment Description

Pressure Gauge		Thermostat Dial

Water Gauge Glass	Tilting Crank
	Optional Draw-Off Valve

The Blodgett 40ES-KLT is a floor-mounted, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with a thermostatically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base.

The body of the kettle is constructed of stainless steel, welded into one solid piece. The kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a butterfly shaped pouring lip. It has a steam jacket rated for working pressures up to 50 PSI. Kettle finish is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside.

The kettle can be tilted with a hand crank to pour out its contents. Stainless steel panels enclose the controls and the base. Four stainless steel, tubular legs support the unit. Bullet feet on each of the legs can be adjusted to level the kettle. The units include a two inch tangent draw off valve.

A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle capacity and heated by electricity, delivers steam into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam jacket permits uniform, efficient heating at temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as 298°F. In addition

to the adjustable thermostat for operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch, low water cut-off, safety valve, and high-limit pressure switch as safety features. A heating indicator light, pressure gauge, and sight glass are provided for monitoring kettle operation.

A single electrical connection is required for installation. The unit may be ordered for use with 208/240, 400 or 480 volt power. All kettles are wired for three-phase operation. Single-phase units are also available.

Inspection & Unpacking

The unit will arrive in a heavy shipping carton and will be bolted or banded to a skid. Immediately upon receipt, inspect the carton carefully for exterior damage.

Carefully cut any polyester straps around the carton and detach the sides of the box from the skid. Pull the carton up off the unit.

Thoroughly inspect the unit for concealed damage. Report any shipping damage or incorrect shipments to the delivery agent.

Installation

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 the 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 at the mid point of sight glass. If the level is low, follow the instructions under “Jacket Filling and Water Treatment,” Page 14.

3.The open end of the elbow on the outlet of the pressure relief 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 an/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.Bringing the electrical service through the entrance at the rear of the support housing with one inch conduit, making a watertight connection with the incoming lines. 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, we recommend 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

•Pressure relief valve is pointed down

•Unit is connected with a waterproof supply of the proper voltage, phase and amperage rating
