Installation must be in accordance with local codes
and/or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest
Edition (USA) or the latest Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment CAN/ CGA B149.1
and CAN/ CGA B149.2 (Canada). Use a gas pipe joint
compound which is resistant to L.P. gas. Test all pipe
joints for leaks with soap and water solution. Ensure that
the gas pressure regulator is set for the manifold
pressure indicated on the gas rating plate.
The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). The appliance must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).
ELECTRICAL
ENSURE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MATCHES THE
KETTLE'S REQUIREMENTS AS STATED ON THE
RATING LABEL.
A cord and plug are supplied with the unit. Simply plug
the unit into any grounded outlet rated for a minimum of
10 amps. The wiring diagram is located on the back of
the console access panel.
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions.
This unit is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug. Standard supply voltage is 115 volts A.C.,
however, optional A.C. voltages can be supplied on
special order. A separate fused disconnect switch must
be supplied and installed in the high voltage electrical
supply line. The kettle when installed, must be electrically
installed and grounded in accordance with local codes,
or in the absence of local codes, with National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 7-1990 (USA) or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, Part 1 (Canada).
VENTILATION
Gas fired kettles are only to be installed under a
ventilation hood in a room which has provisions for
adequate make up air. Further information can be
obtained by referring to the U.S.A. National Fire
Protection Associations NFPA96 regulations. These
standards have also been adopted by the National
Building Code in Canada.
WATER
The sealed jacket of the gas-fired kettle is precharged
with the correct amount of a water-based formula, and
therefore, no water connection is required to the kettle
jacket. The kettle can be equipped with optional hot and
cold water taps, the taps require 1/2" copper tubing as
supply lines.
INSTALLATION CHECKS
Although the kettle has been thoroughly tested before
leaving the factory, the installer is responsible for
ensuring the proper operation of kettle once installed.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE
DURING A POWER FAILURE.
KEEP APPLIANCE AND AREA FREE AND CLEAR OF
COMBUSTIBLES.
1. Supply power to the kettle by placing the fused
disconnect switch to the "ON" position.
2. Before turning the kettle on, read the
vacuum/pressure gauge. The gauge's needle
should be in the green zone. If the needle is in the
"VENT AIR" zone, follow air venting procedure.
3. Place the kettle's power on/off switch to the "ON"
position.
4. Turn the temperature control knob to "MIN .". The green
LED light should remain lit, indicating the burner is lit,
until the set temperature is reached. Then the green
light will cycle on and off, indicating the burner is
cycling on and off to maintain temperature.
5. Tilt the kettle forward. The red "LOW WATER" light
should be lit when the kettle is in a tilted position.
This light indicates that the burner has automatically
been shut off by the kettle's safety circuit. This is a
normal condition when the kettle is in a tilted
position.
6. Raise the kettle to the upright position. The red "low
water" light should go out when the kettle is upright.
If the red light remains lit in the upright position, it
indicates a low water condition, and water must be
added to the reservoir before the kettle can be
operated. Refer to the "Reservoir Fill Procedures", on
the kettle's label, for details.
7. Turn the temperature control knob to "MAX." and
allow the kettle to preheat. The green light should
remain on until the set temperature is reached. Then
the green light will cycle ON and OFF, indicating the
burner is cycling ON and OFF to maintain
temperature.
CLEANING
After installation the kettle must be thoroughly cleaned
and sanitized prior to cooking. See complete cleaning
instructions in this manual (page 5).
