Introduction
DESCRIPTION:
Market Forge Models FT-6CE (6 gallon capacity), FT10CE (10 gallon capacity) and FT-12CE (12 gallon capacity) are electrically powered, self-contained, countertop, tilting Kettles. Each model has a jacket of double-wall
construction forming a sealed reservoir around the lower
2/3 of the kettle.
The reservoir is charged with water and anti-freeze so-
lution. Kettles are equipped with a removable electric
heating element and controls, including a low water cutoff
device for protection of the heating element. Both models are of identical construction, except for kettle size and
element heating capacity.
BASIC FUNCTIONING:
Self-contained kettles operate by generating steam in the
kettle reservoir. The sequence of operation is as follows:
1. Operator ips the power switch to the ON position
and sets the temperature control dial at the desired
setting from 1 to 10 (90°F to 300°F, 32°C to 149°C,
jacket temperature).
2. Control circuit is normally completed to the temperature controller if the following conditions exist:
SERVICE:
Required service both preventive and corrective is explained in operation section. Should repairs be required a
network of authorized agencies is available to assist with
prompt service. A current Directory of Authorized Service
Agencies is available on our website, www.mi.com
The model and serial numbers must be referenced when
corresponding with Market Forge. These numbers can be
found on the data plate located on the right side of the
control box.
a. Water level in kettle reservoir is adequate to pre-
vent circuit interruption by the low water cutoff
device. An activated cutoff is indicated by the
amber low water light turning on, and the heating
element shutting off.
b. Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed
through the tilt interlock switch (Micro switch).
3. Thermostatic control contacts close to energize contactor coils.
4. Power is supplied to the elements through closed
power contactors.
5. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reservoir increase in steam pressure is indicated on the
pressure gauge.
6. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir
reaches the setting shown on the temperature control dial the temperature controller opens to break the
contacts and shut off the heating element. ON/OFF
cycles will occur as required to maintain temperature
control. See operation section.

TILTING INSTRUCTIONS
Your kettle has the standard “Clean Lock” feature and
may not be tilted without disengaging the tilt knob located on the console at the top right. This feature locks the
kettle in the upright position and also allows the operator
to lock the kettle at 105 degrees for ease of cleaning. To
tilt the kettle the full distance, the tilt lock knob must be
disengaged from the cleaning position by pulling out the
tilt lock knob and tilting the kettle forward the full distance.
Follow these steps to tilt kettle:
1. Pull out the tilt knob near top right of console.
2. Using kettle tilt handle pull kettle forward to desired
angle of pour or until kettle locks at 105 degrees. The
tilt knob can be released after the kettle has been
tilted approximately 10°.
3. Kettle will lock in position at 105 degrees and may be
tilted further by pulling the tilt lock knob a second time
allowing the kettle to tilt the full distance.
4. To return the kettle to the upright position, pull out the
tilt lock knob and tilt the kettle upward until it locks
in the upright position. The kettle should not move in
either direction once in the upright position.
