INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR

DIRECT STEAM KETTLES

4. Fill out all carrier claims forms and have the
examining carrier sign and date each form.

INSTALLATION

WARNING:Installauon of kettle must be
accomplished by qualified installation personnel,
working to all applicable local and national codes.
Improper installation of product could cause injury
or damage.

This equipment is built to comply with applicable
standards for manufacturers. Included among those
approval agencies are: UL, NSF, ASME/Ntl.Bd.,
CSA, ETL, and others. Many local codes exist, and it
is the responsibility of the owner and installer to
comply with these codes.

INSPECTION
Before unpacking visually inspect the unit for

evidence of damage during shipping. If damage is
noticed, do not unpack the unit, follow shipping
damage instructions.

SHIPPING DAMAGE INSTRUCTIONS
If shipping damage to the unit is discovered or

suspected, observe the following guidelines in
preparing a shipping damage claim.

1. Write down a description of the damage or
the reason for suspecting damage as soon as
it is discovered. This will help in filling out
the claim forms later.

2. As soon as damage is discovered or
suspected, notify the carrier that delivered
the shipment.

3. Arrange for the carrier's representative to

examine damage.

The first installation step is to refer to the
specification sheet for clearance requirements, in
order to determine the location of the kettle. Next,
carefully cut open the shipping carton for easy
removal of the kettle.

KDL SERIES (Tri-Leg Models)
Position the kettle in its permanent location, and level

the kettle by turning the adjustable flanged feet.
Once positioned and levelled, permanently secure the
kettle's flanged feet to the floor using 5/16" lag bolts
and floor anchors (to be supplied by the installer).
There are three bolts required to secure each of the
flanged feet.

KDP SERIES (Pedestal Models)

1. Position the kettle in its permanent location,
and mark the floor around the circumference
of the base collar or the base plate. Locate the
centre of this circle and mark the floor at this
centre point. This is the point at which the
kettle's base plate will be secured to the floor.

2- Lay kettle on its side (on a cushioned surface

to prevent scratching), and slide the base
collar up the pedestal, exposing the plate for
removal.

3. Remove the four cap screws securing the base
plate and slide it off the kettle.

2

4. Prepare the floor location, for mounting the
kettle, by installing a 3/4"(19mm) stud, cast
into the floor, at the base plate's centre point.
Note: a 3/4"(19mm) lag bolt and floor
anchor may be substituted for a cast-in stud.
The anchor is installed in the floor, and the
lag bolt is threaded down through the base
plate, into the anchor, after completion of step

6.

5. Thread the four 3/8"(10mm) levelling bolts
into plate from the top, and insert the plate
over stud.

6. Adjust bolts until the plate is level.

7. Install a nut on the 3/4" (19mm) bolt (or
insert a lag bolt if the alternate fastener
method is used) and secure base plate to the
floor.

8. Check for level "set" of the kettle by placing
the kettle on the base plate with the screw
holes aligned and applying a carpenter's level
at the kettle rim. If the kettle is level, it may
be fastened in place with the four cap screws.
If the kettle is not level, the kettle must be
removed from the base, the plate loosened,
and the levelling bolts re-adjusted until a
level installation is attained.

9. Slide the base collar down to the floor, and
draw a line around the circumference of the
pedestal at the top of the collar, using the top
of the collar as a guide. Slide the collar back
up the pedestal.

10. Apply a bead of silicone sealer to the

circumference of the pedestal, at the line, and
also to the bottom rim of the collar.

Slide the collar down the pedestal and press it
tightly to the floor. The silicone sealer will
create a seal where the collar meets the
pedestal, and where the collar meets the floor.

SERVICE CONNECTIONS
Install service connections as required. Locations and

other data are shown on the specification sheet.

STEAM

All steam plumbing to and from the kettle and steam
boiler should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for
din and debris before the final connections to the
kettle are made.
Refer to the specification sheet for the minimum
allowable size of the branch steam supply plumbing
(from the steam "main" plumbing or a nearby boiler).
Generally, kettles require a minimum of 3/4" i.p.s.
pipe. Kettles require 100 psi steam pressure. Check
the rating plate for the maximum steam pressure that
your kettle is rated for. If the steam supply pressure
exceeds the rated pressure, a pressure reducing valve
is required. The steam inlet is at the right side of the
kettle, as seen from the front.

CONDENSATE
The steam condensate trap must be plumbed to an

open, free-venting drain -or a condensate return
system, using minimum 1/2" NPT plumbing. The
condensate line is limited to a maximum rise of 10
feet in order for the steam pressure to adequately
force the condensate through the plumbing. Any
higher rise requires a pump.

3

If the steam boiler to which this kettle is installed
has a condensate return, a 1/2" (13mm) steam
strainer, a 1/2" (13mm) steam trap, and a 1/2" (13
mm) check valve must be installed on the
output (condensate) side of the kettle.

FAUCET (OPTIONAL)
The water faucet, with swing spout, requires 1/2

inch O.D. copper tube plumbing for hot/or cold
water supplies to the faucet (if so equipped).

5. Observe that the water in the kettle comes to
a boil.

6. Close the steam supply valve.

7. Drain off the water by opening the draw-off
valve or tilting the kettle forward. Power
pour kettles ONLY: To raise the kettle,
press the top of the rocker switch. To lower
the kettle, press the bottom of the rocker
switch.

OPERATION

ELECTRICAL
Power pour kettles require a permanent 115 volt

electrical connection. Refer to the specification
sheet for precise location. A kettle that is
connected to electricity must be grounded by the
installer, and installed in accordance with local
codes and/or the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990. Installation in Canada
must be in accordance with the Canadian Electric
Code CSA Standard C22.1.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK

1. If the kettle is equipped with a tangent
draw-off valve, ensure that it is closed.

2. Partially fill the kettle with water.

3. Slowly turn the steam supply valve's
knob counter-clockwise, to the open
position.

4. Release the safety valve, ensuring that the
steam escapes freely. Stay clear of steam
exhaust when releasing the safety valve.

Ensure that there is an adequate steam
supply to the kettle.

For optimum performance on free-standing floor
model tilting kettles, open the drain petcock to drain
condensate from the kettle's jacket, then close the
drain petcock before applying steam to a cold kettle.

If the kettle is equipped with a tangent draw-off
valve, ensure that it is closed before filling the kettle.
To keep solid food particles out of the draw-off
valve, place either the solid or the perforated disc
(strainer) in the bottom of the kettle. Use the solid
disc if the liquid is to be retained, and the perforated
disc if the liquid is to be drained off.

Turn the steam control valve to the full open position
by turning the knob counter-clockwise, then allow
the kettle to preheat.

NOTE: When cooking egg and milk products, the
kettle should NOT be preheated, as products of this
nature adhere to hot cooking surfaces. These types of
foods should be placed in the kettle before heating is
begun.

4

Fill the kettle with product to the desired level.

CARE AND CLEANING

When the product has reached the desired
temperature, regulate the heat, as required, by
turning the steam control valve clockwise for less
steam, and therefore, a lower temperature.

When cooking is complete, close the steam
control valve by turning the knob clockwise until
it stops turning.

Power-pour kettles are provided with a rocker­type center-off switch for raising and lowering
the kettle. To raise the kettle, press the top of the
switch. To lower the kettle, press the bottom of
the switch- Release the switch, allowing it to
return to the center "off' position when the
desired degree of tilt has been reached. Limit
switches are provided that automatically stop the
tilt motion at the maximum limit of movement in
either direction.

To raise and lower manual tilt, floor mounted
kettles, turn the handwheel counter-clockwise to
lower and clockwise to raise.

Your kettle must be cleaned regularly to maintain its
fast, efficient cooking performance, and to ensure
its continued safe, reliable operation.

WARNING: Do not use chlorine base
detergent.

1. Prepare a warm water and mild detergent
solution in the kettle.

2. Remove food soil inside the kettle using a
nylon brush. Do not use a metal bristle
brush, as this may permanently damage the
kettle's stainless steel surface.

3. Loosen food which is stuck to the kettle by
allowing it to soak at a low temperature
(simmer or low boil).

4. Open the draw-off valve or tilt kettle
forward to drain the wash water.

If the kettle is equipped with a draw-off valve, it
should be cleaned as follows:

For kettle/steamer combinations: If the boiler in a
steamer is supplying steam to a kettle, always
heat the kettle first. After the kettle contents are
heated, and the boiler's steam pressure returns to
normal, the steamer may be used- Pressure
steamer compartments should be sequentially
started, and preheated before cooking.

NOTE: As with cleaning food soil from any
cookware, an important part of kettle cleaning is
to prevent foods from drying on. For this reason,
cleaning should be completed immediately after
cooked foods are removed. Please refer to the
"Care and Cleaning" instructions for detailed
kettle washing procedures.

5

a. Remove the drain strainer from the bottom of

the kettle. Thoroughly wash and rinse the
strainer, either in a sink or a dishwasher, then
replace it into the kettle.

b. Disassemble the draw-off valve, first by

turning valve knob counter-clockwise, then
turning the large hex nut counter-clockwise,
until valve stem is free of the valve body.

c. In a sink, wash and rinse the valve stem, hex

nut, and knob. Wash and rinse the inside of
the valve body using a nylon brush. Kettle
brushes and other accessories are available
from your authorized dealer.
