will relieve such vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check with the exhaust fan in the
air openings, as well as for serviceability.
GENERAL:
THE UNIT WHEN INSTALLED MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED AND COMPLY WITH LOCAL
CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANSI
NFPA 70-1984.
CANADIAN INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH CSA STANDARD C22.1-CANADIAN ELECTRICAL
CODE PART 1.
EXHAUST FANS AND CANOPIES: Canopies are set over ranges, ovens, kettles, etc,, for ventilation purposes.
It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past appliance and be located 6'6" from the floor. Filters should be
installed at an angle to 45° or more with the horizontal. This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates
collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with the filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a
vacuum in the room and may interfere with performance. Makeup air openings approximately equal to the fan area
"OFF" position.
WALL EXHAUST FAN: The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent opening at the top of
the unit.
CLEARANCES: Adequate clearance must be provided in aisle and at the side and back. Adequate clearances for

TO INSTALL:
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden freight damage to the freight company immediately.
Set the unit in place. Be certain to maintain the following minimum clearances to combustible construction:
2.
3.
4. The pressure relief valve is located at the right rear of the unit. This area should be kept clear and should not be in an area
5. Check the pressure gauge on the front panel before operating. If the pressure gauge does not indicate 20 to 30 inches of

Allow enough clearance around the kettle for cleaning and maintenance.
To level the unit use a spirit level in all directions on the top of kettle (lid up).

Units with legs — Adjust the bottom foot on each leg to overcome an uneven floor.
B.
Units with casters — Loosen the locking nuts, turn casters in or out as required and tighten locking nuts.

3/4" diameter pipe may be used to extend to the floor, but must not be piped directly to a drain. It must vent to the
atmosphere.
mercury column vacuum, see "Re-establishing Vacuum" section under SERVICE after completing installation
instructions.
This unit was shipped from the factory with a full charge of chemically pure water. This can be checked in two ways:
A.
Viewing water level through sight glass.
B.
When kettle is turned on, "Low Water" light will come on if water level is too low.
In either case, if the water level is low, the proper procedure is to remove the safety valve of the unit and fill with
chemically pure water to the right level looking thru sight glass. Replace safety valve securely.
In either case, the proper procedure would be to remove pressure relief valve and attach a 3/4" NPT elbow pointing
upward.
Using pure distilled water only, pour the water into the open end of the elbow (a funnel will be helpful). Water will enter
the kettle slowly, as air must escape through the same hole. Water should be added until the water level at the sight glass
is half way between the minimum and maximum levels.

7. When sufficient water has been added, remove elbow and replace pressure relief valve. Be sure to seal
threads with a pipe joint compound suitable for steam at 50 psi.
8. The vacuum must now be re-established. See following section.
For reference, the total amount of distilled water contained in each unit is listed below:
RE-ESTABLISHING VACUUM:
With the kettle completely cold a vacuum of 25 to 30 inches mercury column (M.C.) should be maintained as
indicated by the pressure gauge on the front control panel. If at any time the vacuum is less than 25 inches M.C. the
vacuum should be re-established.
With the kettle empty, turn the thermostat knob to the highest temperature. When the pressure gauge reaches 20 psi,
turn thermostat off, open the pressure relief valve until manometer reads 1 psi, then sharply release it. This should
remove the air and any loss in performance should return.
Should the kettle fail to maintain a vacuum after repeated attempts to establish it, further checks should be made to
see if the pressure relief valve is leaking or if there are any leaks in the pressure relief valve piping, copper lines
going to the pressure switch, pressure gauge or thermostat fitting.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
208/240 Single and Three Phase: I.
To connect to supply wires, route supply wire through hole in bottom of control compartment and connect to
contactor. Be sure to refer to wiring diagram and rating plate on each unit for proper connection, voltage and
amperage.

KTLE-60 3.0 gals. U.S. KSLE-60 22.8 gals. U.S.
480 Three Phase: II.
Units with this electrical rating are factory equipped with a transformer to control voltage to control circuit. Refer
to wiring diagram and rating plate on each unit for proper connection, voltage and amperage.
WATER CONNECTION:
On units equipped with an optional water fill valve connect a water line (minimum 1/4 ") to the valve with a 1/4" NPT
female fitting. Units with dual (hot & cold) valves must have the hot water line connected to the side with the hot water
valve (Red) and cold water valve (Blue). Plastic or rubber hose is not recommended, as it may melt against the hot
kettle side.
UNITS WITH CASTERS:
For a unit equipped with casters, the installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with the standard
for connectors for movable gas appliances, ANSI Z 21.69-1979. Adequate means must be provided to limit the
movement of the unit, without depending on the connector and any quick disconnect device or its associated piping to
limit the unit's movement. If disconnection of this restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc.,
reconnect it when the appliance is moved to its originally installed position. A flexible conduit and adequate strain
relief must also be provided for the power supply connection.
If the unit is also equipped with an optional water fill valve, it too must be installed with a flexible water supply tube, a
quick disconnect, and strain relief.
WARNING:
DO NOT ALLOW ANY TAMPERING OR ADJUSTMENT OF ANY CONTROL OR WIRING. THE
UNIT IS FACTORY SET. ADJUSTMENT OF ANY INTERNAL COMPONENT, OTHER THAN THE
FIELD TERMINAL BLOCK, CAN VOID THE WARRANTY.
