Equipment Description

Congratulations on your purchase of LoLo commercial cooking
equipment. LoLo takes pride in the design and quality of our products.
When used as intended and with proper care and maintenance, you will
experience years of reliable operation from this equipment. To ensure
best results, it is important that you read and follow the instructions in
this manual carefully.

The LoLo LKS-45G steam kettles are stainless steel, floor mounted kettles with a self­contained steam source heated by gas. A closed steam jacket covers the lower 2/3 of
the kettle. Heat from the gas burner boils water in the jacket to produce steam under
pressure. To ignite the burner, the kettle uses electronic spark ignition.

The kettle body is welded into one piece. The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180
emery grit finish. The unit is ASME shop inspected and registered with the National
Board for working pressures up to 25 PSI.

The jacket is filled at the factory with water containing rust inhibitor. The kettle can
operate at steam pressures up to 25 PSI, which provides operating temperatures of
150ºF (65ºC) to approximately 267ºF (131ºC). This range allows warming, simmering,
boiling or braising.

These kettles are stationary (non-tilting). Liquids can be removed through the
tangent draw-off valve. The standard 2 inch tangent draw-off is a 316 stainless steel,
compression disc valve. All exposed surfaces are stainless steel. Insulated sheathing
covers the kettle body, and a housing encloses the controls. Tubular legs support the
unit, with adjustable bullet feet to level the kettle.

Controls provided include a power ON/OFF switch, to control electric power for the
unit, and a thermostat to set the cooking temperature. Automatic safety systems
include:

• Gas pressure regulator that protects the unit from high pressure in the gas
supply line

• Automatic gas valve that allows gas into the burners, as needed

• Pressure limit switch that turns off the burner when jacket pressure reaches 23
PSI and lights the burner when pressure drops to 20 PSI

• Safety valve that lets steam out of the jacket if the steam pressure exceeds 25 PSI

• Low-water cutoff that turns off the burner if the water level in the jacket gets too
low for safe operation

Kettle operating status systems include:

• Pressure/vacuum gauge that shows steam pressure and whether too much air
has entered the jacket

• Heating indicator light (amber) that indicates that the kettle is being heated

• Power ON indicator light (green) mounted in the power switch indicates when
electric power is turned on

• Low water indicator light (red) that shows when jacket water needs to be
replenished

1. Always transfer food into clean containers designed to hold hot liquids.

DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN COOKING,
HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP LIQUIDS AT
LEAST 2-3” (5-8 cm) BELOW THE KETTLE RIM
TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING,
BOILING PRODUCT AND SAFE TRANSFER.

ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN TRANSFERRING
HOT FOODS OR WATER FROM THE KETTLE.
WEAR PROTECTIVE MITS AND CLOTHING TO
AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT SURFACES AND
HOT LIQUIDS. HOT LIQUIDS AND HOT KETTLE
SURFACES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS ON
CONTACT WITH EXPOSED SKIN.

CAUTION

CAUTION

2. When transferring foods such as soups or sauces with food solids, someone may
need to stir the batch while transferring, to insure uniform suspension of floating
and sinking food solids. An alternative is to do a two-stage fill by transferring
all liquids into containers then ladling solids into each of the containers in equal
proportions.

3. Use caution when opening the tangent drawoff valve to avoid splashing.

4. The tangent valve nozzle is positioned 11-inches above floor level to
accommodate buckets and taller containers. If filling small/short or shallow
containers, place another (upside-down) container under the pan to raise it
closer to the valve nozzle. IMPORTANT: Use caution and wear hand and arm
protection to avoid burns from splashing hot liquids.

5. If you want to restrict the flow of food solids through the tangent valve, you
will need an OPTIONAL tangent drain strainer. These stainless steel disks are
available in solid, 1/8” and ¼” perforated strainers. NOTE: If an optional tangent
strainer was not included with your kettle order, you can order them from your
authorized LoLo Foodservice Equipment Distributor.

USE OF OPTIONAL LIFT-OFF COVER

A stainless steel lift-off cover is available as an extra-cost option. This kettle cover can:

• Reduce cook times or the time to bring water or other liquids to a boil;

• Reduce heat and humidity loss into the kitchen;

• Reduce impact on air conditioning;

• Control product moisture loss during cooking.

To position/place cover:

1. Firmly grasp BOTH handles and place cover on top of the kettle rim. Slide cover
forward to engage cover locking clips. When the kettle is hot, wear protective
mitts and avoid contact with all hot kettle surfaces.

To remove cover:

1. Wearing protective mitts, grasp BOTH cover handles, slide cover back (away
from you) to clear locking clips and lift the rear edge of the cover to vent any
steam or water vapor that may be trapped under the cover.

2. Tilt the cover edge higher to allow any condensate or liquids to drain back into
the kettle.

3. Place the cover topside/outside-down on a clean, uncluttered surface, away from
the kettle and other employees. It may still be hot.

4. If the bottom/product side of the cover is compromised or contaminated in any
way, clean and sanitize it before returning it to service on the kettle.

5. Clean both sides of cover between each use.

SUGGESTED CLEANING SUPPLIES

1. A high quality detergent and sanitizer, or a combination cleaning-
sanitizing agent.

2. Kettle brushes in good condition.

3. Spray Degreaser (PN 156704) or equivalent.

4. De-limer/De-scaler (PN 156707) or equivalent.

5. A high quality stainless steel cleaner.

PRECAUTIONS

Before any cleaning operation, shut off the kettle by turning the power switch and
thermostat dial to “OFF”; and shut off electric power to the unit at a remote switch,
such as the circuit breaker.

CLEANING PROCEDURES

1. Clean food contact surfaces as soon as possible after use, preferably while the
kettle is still warm. If the unit is in continuous use, clean and sanitize inside and
outside at least once every 12 hours.

2. Scrape and flush out large amounts of food residue. Be careful not to scratch the
kettle with metal implements. Close the draw-off.

3. Prepare a solution of the detergent/cleaning compound as instructed by the sup­plier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth moistened with cleaning solution can be
used to clean controls, their enclosures, electrical conduit, etc.

4. Rinse the kettle thoroughly with hot water, then drain completely.

5. Disassemble the tangent draw-off valve. Clean the draw-off port (outlet) and
each valve part with a brush.

6. Rinse the kettle and draw-off valve parts thoroughly with hot water, then drain
completely.

7. When you reassemble the draw-off valve, hand-tighten the nut which holds it in
place.

NOTE: Do not mix parts of different draw-off assemblies during washing. The

parts are not always interchangeable.

8. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean soiled external surfaces. Remember
to check the sides of the unit and control housing.

9. To remove burned-on foods, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber scraper,
or plastic wool, along with the cleaning solution. To reduce effort required, let the
detergent solution sit in the kettle for a few minutes and soak into the residue.

Photo 15-2
Don’t use metal implements
or steel wool when cleaning.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT use abrasive materials or metal tools that might scratch

the surface. Scratches make the surface harder to clean and provide places for
bacteria to grow. Do not use steel wool, which will leave particles in the surface
and cause eventual corrosion and pitting.

10. The outside of the unit can be cleaned with a warm water (100°F or less) spray.
Do not use a high pressure spray. The outside of the unit may be polished with
a stainless steel cleaner such as “Zepper” from Zep Manufacturing Co.

OM-LKS-45G 15

Cleaning

11. When the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution equivalent
to one that supplies 200 parts per million chlorine. Obtain advice on the best
sanitizing agent from your supplier of sanitizing products. Following the suppli­ers instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after the unit has been cleaned and
drained. Rinse off the sanitizer thoroughly.

NOTE: It is recommended that the unit be sanitized just before use.

12. If there is difficulty removing mineral deposits or a film left by hard water or food
residues, use a de-liming agent such as LoLo De-limer De-Scaler (Part Number

156707), Lime- Away from ECOLAB or an equivalent, following manufacturer
directions. Rinse and drain the unit thoroughly before use.

13. If cleaning problems persist, contact your cleaning product supplier for assistance.
The supplier has a trained technical staff with laboratory facilities to serve you.

Maintenance

AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM BLOWING
OUT OF THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. SEVERE
BURNS CAN RESULT ON EXPOSED SKIN.

FAILURE TO CHECK PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
OPERATION PERIODICALLY COULD RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.

CAUTION

NOTE: Contact a LoLo Authorized Service Representative when repairs are required.

Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of
operation. The following should be checked:

1. Jacket Vacuum - Removing Air From Jacket (By Operator)

Every day, while the kettle is cold, check the pressure/vacuum gauge. A

positive reading or a negative reading between zero and -20” of vacuum on the
pressure/vacuum gauge indicates excess air in the jacket (See Photo 17-1 on page

17). Air in the jacket slows kettle heating and can prevent the kettle from reaching
operating temperature. To remove air:

a. Start the kettle. (See the Operation section).

b. IMPORTANT: Make sure the elbow on the outlet of the pressure relief valve is

turned so that escaping steam is directed down toward the floor (See Photo
17-2 on page 17). Be sure and follow the instructions on the attached pressure
relief valve tag.

c. When the pressure/vacuum gauge reaches a positive pressure reading of 5

PSI (above zero), release trapped air by lifting the pressure relief valve ring for
about one second. Repeat this step, then let the valve ring snap closed, so
the valve will seat properly and not leak.

2. Test Pressure Relief Valve (By Operator)

At least twice a month, test the pressure relief valve. Test the valve with

the kettle operating at 5 PSI (34.5 kPa), by pulling the test ring for at least five
seconds. Then release the ring and permit the valve to snap shut. If the ring
does not activate, if there is no discharge or if the valve leaks, stop using the
kettle immediately and contact an Authorized Service Representative.

16 OM-LKS-45 G

USE OF ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER
THAN THOSE SUPPLIED BY LOLO COMMERCIAL
FOODSERVICE EQUIPMENT OR THEIR AUTHORIZED
DISTRIBUTORS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO THE
OPERATOR AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND
WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES.

SERVICE PERFORMED BY OTHER THAN FACTORY­AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL WILL VOID ALL
WARRANTIES.

Maintenance

3. Jacket Filling

The jacket was charged at the factory with the proper amount of treated

water. You may need to restore this water because it was lost as steam during
venting. Every day, before you turn on the unit, make sure the water level is
approximately in the center of the water level sight glass.

a. If you are replacing water lost as steam, use distilled water. Do not use

tap water. If you are replacing treated water that was drained from the
jacket, contact LoLo Service Support at 877-246-5656.

b. Allow the kettle to cool completely. Remove the pipe plug from the jacket

fill assembly.

c. Open the gate valve and pour in the distilled water. TIP: Using a funnel will

help you in this process. Hold the pressure relief valve open while you pour,
to let air escape from the jacket.

NOTE: The low water limit alarm (red indicator lamp) comes on when the

level drops below the minimum line on the sight glass. Refill with distilled
water until the level returns to between the minimum and maximum marks
on the water sight glass.

The pressure gauge should show a
vacuum of -20 to -30 inches when
the kettle is cold.

Photo 17-1

d. Close the gate valve and replace the pipe plug.

e. Air that gets into the jacket during the filling operation must be removed,

because it will make heating less efficient. Follow the procedure in
Jacket Vacuum - Removing Air From Jacket to restore a negative pressure
(vacuum) reading.

IMPORTANT: If most or all of the jacket water is lost due to a leak, contact

LoLo at 877-246-5656 or your LoLo authorized service provider. The
source of the leak will need to be determined and repaired; and the kettle
jacket refilled with chemically treated water.

Make sure that the open end of
the elbow on the pressure relief valve
is directed downward.
