Installation of the kettle must be accomplished by
qualified electrical 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, CGA, ETL, and others. Many local
codes exist, and it is the responsibility of the
owner/installer to comply with these codes.
Note: Maximum voltage for LVD (low volt
directive for Europe) to be 440 volts for CE
marked appliances.
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 shown below.
INSTALLATION
The first installation step is to refer to the
Specification Sheets or Specification Drawings for
detailed clearance requirements of the kettle.
Next, carefully cut open the shipping carton for
easy removal of the kettle.
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 the damage.
4. Fill out all carrier claims forms and have the
examining carrier sign and date each form.
Position on a firm, level surface, and bolt two
flange feet in place. Once the kettle is secure,
screw tilt handle into the threaded hole provided
at the right of kettle.

WIRE CONNECTION
If unit does not have cord and plug option, remove
the screw at the rear of the console cover and
remove the cover. A wiring diagram is affixed to
the underside of the cover. Feed permanent
copper wiring through the cut-out in the rear or
bottom of the console, and fasten to the three
connection terminal block, which is mounted on
the top of the console’s control panel. Be sure to
connect the ground wire to the separate ground
terminal connector (ground lug). Replace console
cover and secure it with the screw.

is in a tilted position.
The sealed jacket of the electric kettle is
precharged with the correct amount of a waterbased 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.
Visual Checks
Check Marine Lock. See Marine Lock Testing
1.
Procedure (page 19).
2. Check Tilting:
A/ Handle is in place and firmly tightened or
B/ Gearbox tilts kettle smoothly and freely.
3. Insure there are:
A/ four screws securely holding the console
cover and
B/
the bottom cover is in place and held with a
nut.
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 page 17 of this manual.
7. Turn the temperature control knob to "10" (Max.)
and allow the kettle to preheat. The green light
should remain on until the set temperature
(260°F/127°C) is reached. Then the green light
will cycle ON and OFF, indicating the element is
cycling ON and OFF to maintain temperature. Fill
the kettle with cold water to the steam jacket’s
welded seam. Refer to the chart in the next
section for the time required to bring the water to
a boil.
8. When all testing is complete, empty the kettle
and place the power ON/OFF switch in the
“OFF” position.
CLEANING
After installation the kettle must be thoroughly
cleaned and sanitized prior to cooking. See
complete cleaning instructions on page 6 of this
manual.
Performance Checks
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 Kettle Venting
Procedure on page 12 of this manual.
3. Place the kettle's power ON/OFF switch to the
"ON" position.
4. Turn the temperature control knob to "1" (Min.).
The green LED light should remain lit, indicating
the burner is lit, until the set temperature is
reached (124°F/50°C). Then the green light will
cycle on and off, indicating the element 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 element has
automatically been shut off by the kettle's safety
circuit. This is a normal condition when the kettle

IF KETTLE TIPPED OVER, SPILLING HOT
CONTENTS.
1. Before turning kettle on, read the
Vacuum/Pressure Gauge (5). The gauges
needle should be in the green zone. If the
needle is in the "VENT AIR" zone, refer to the
Kettle Venting Instructions (page 17). Any air
that may be present will increase cooking
times. Once heated, the kettle's normal
maximum operating pressure is approximately
10-12 psi, while cooking a water base product.
2. Ensure that the electrical service to the kettle
is turned on at the fused disconnect switch.
3. Place the kettle's On-Off Toggle Switch (1) to
the "ON" position.
heating is begun.
5. Place food product into the kettle. The Heat
Indicator Light (Green) (3) will cycle on and
off indicating the elements are cycling on and
off to maintain the set temperature.
NOTE: Do not fill kettle above recommended
level marked on outside of kettle.
NOTE: The Low Water Indicator Light (Red) (4)
should not be lit during kettle operation. This light
indicates that the elements have been automatically
shut off by the kettle's safety circuit. It is normal for
the red light to come on when the kettle is in a tilted
position. However, the kettle cannot be operated
when the red light remains lit while the kettle is in
the upright position. This indicates a low water
condition, and water must be added to the
reservoir. Refer to Reservoir Fill Procedures on
page 17 of this manual for details.
6. When cooking is completed place On-Off
Toggle Switch (1) to the "OFF' position.

4. Preheat the kettle by turning the Solid State
Temperature Control Knob (2) to the desired
temperature setting (see above "Temperature
Range Chart"). The Heat Indicator Light
(Green) (3) will remain lit, indicating the
burner is lit, until the temperature setting is
reached. When the green light goes off, the
heaters are off, and preheating is complete.
7. Pour the contents of the kettle into an
appropriate container by tilting the kettle
forward. Care should be taken to pour slowly
enough to avoid splashing off the product.
NOTE: As with cleaning food soil from any
cookware, an important part of kettle cleaning is to
prevent food from drying on. For this reason, cleaning
should be completed immediately after cooked foods
are removed. Refer to the Cleaning Instructions (page
6) for detailed kettle washing procedures.
APPROXIMATE BOILING
TIMES
The accompanying chart shows approximate
times required for electric kettles of various
capacities to boil water. The temperature control
knob must be set at “10” (Max.) throughout the
heat-up period. Water will boil about 1/3 faster if
the kettle is filled only to the outer steam jacket’s
welded seam. resulting in a kettle filled to 2/3
capacity.
