INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL,
SELF GENERATING STEAM JACKETED KETTLES, MODELS EL AND EP

INTRODUCTION

3.0 DESCRIPTION

All electrically powered kettles described and referred to in this manual are pressure vessels of
a double-wall construction forming a sealed jacket (chamber) enveloping the lower two thirds of
the kettle bowl surface.
The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be a liquid or semi-
liquid consistency to achieve complete contact with the bowl surface and thus fully absorb the
heat transmitted through that surface from the pressurized steam generated in the kettle jacket.
The jacket is intended to function as a self contained sealed chamber with a permanent solution
of water and antifreeze sufficient not only to immerse and thereby protect replaceable electric
heating elements, but also provide the steam source during the steam generating process.
The heating elements are thermostatically dial controlled to provide precise temperatures
throughout the range from slow simmer to rolling boil.
All stationary kettles are intended to be permanently floor mounted on legs with adjustable
flanged feet (EL models) or pedestals (EP models).
All kettles are equipped with a hinged counterbalanced stainless steel lid covering the kettle
bowl opening, a sanitary stainless steel tangent draw-off valve for the removal of the food
product from the kettle bowl, and a safety relief valve plumbed to the kettle jacket.

4.0 CAPACITIES

All models are suffixed with either - 20, - 25, - 30, - 40, - 60, - 80 or -100 to indicate the capacity
of that kettle in US gallons. Thus an EL-40 indicates a two thirds jacketed electrically powered
steam kettle mounted on legs with a capacity of 40 US gallons.
