steam jacketed kettles with a thermostatically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heat ed
steam supply and appropriate controls, mounted
on a sturdy base. Models TDB and TDBC are
avai lable in 20 or 40 - quart capacity.
The body of the TDB and TDBC Kettle is
constructed of stainless steel, w elded i nto one
solid piece. The kettle is furnished with a
reinforced rim and a butterfly shaped pouring lip.
It has a steam jacket rated for a design pressure
of 50 PSIG. K ettle finis h is 180 emery gri t on the
inside and bright s emi-deluxe on the outs ide. A
tilt handle on the TDB kettle and a handwheel
crank on the TDBC kettle allows the operator to
manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled
manner. Pouring height accepts pans up to four
inches hi gh on a table top.
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle
capacity and heated by electricity , delivers steam
into the jacket. “A irless” operation of the steam
jacket permits uniform, efficient heat ing at
temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as
295°F. I n additi on t o the adjustable thermostat
for operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off
switch, low water cut-off, pressure relief valve,
and high-limit pres sure switch as safety features.
A heating indicator li ght, pressure gauge, and
sight glass are provided for monitoring kett le
operation.
A single electrical connecti on is requi red for
installation. The unit may be ordered for use
with 208/ 240 or 480 volt power. All kettles are
wired for 208 volt, three-phase operat ion. For

Common Accessories
1. Li ft Off Cover
As with stock pot cooki ng, an optional lift
off cover can speed up the heating of
water and food products. A cover helps
retain heat in the cooking vessel and
reduces the amount of heat and humidity
released into the kitchen. Use of a cover
can reduce some product cook times
and help maintain the temperature, color
and texture of products bei ng held or
simmered for extended peri ods.
Make sure the plast ic ball handle is
secure on the lift off cover before us ing.
ALWAYS use the plastic handle to place
or remove cover from the kettle.
Lift the rear of the l id first.
d) Remove cover, ensuri ng that any
remaining hot condensate or product
does not drip on operator, floor or work
surfaces.
e) Place cover on safe, flat, sani t ary, out-
of-the-way surface, or return to kett le
rim. Cover
