2.0 INSTALLATION (Continued) WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. (120V units only). 1.
3.0 PERFORMANCE CHECK The following items should be checked before or within the first 30 days of operation by a qualified service technician. 1.0 Verify correct gas type. 2.0 Verify correct voltage, cycle and phase. 3.0 Gas pressure. 4.0 Internal gas connections. 5.0 Internal electrical connections.
4.0 OPERATION Contact the factory, the factory representative or a local service company to perform maintenance and repairs should the appliance malfunction. WARNING: In the event of main burner ignition failure, a 5 minute purge period must be observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.

in the gas line) may require the unit to be turned off and immediately back on numerous times after each lockout period until the air is purged from the gas line. B. SHUTDOWN STANDBY 1. Place power on switch and thermostat to “OFF” position. COMPLETE 1.
Page 13
4.0 OPERATION (Continued) SPARK IGNITER FAILURE: In the event the spark igniter module fails the unit may still be operated by carefully following these instructions. 1. Turn thermostat to OFF position; completely counterclockwise. 2. Turn power switch to OFF position. 3.
4.0 OPERATION (Continued) FRONT PANEL CONTROLS: 1. Power Switch This switch turns the main power to the unit on and off. It must be turned on to heat the kettle. It should be turned off when the kettle will not be in use for long periods. 2.
4.0 OPERATION (Continued) DAILY OPERATION Daily operation should consist of turning on the power switch and setting the thermostat for the desired temperature. It is recommended the kettle be preheated prior to use. Milk or egg based products should be placed in the kettle before heating, however, to prevent sticking.
Page 16
END USER TIPS: (Continued) Bring milk and egg products slowly up to temperature in a cold kettle to prevent product adhering to the sides. When planning actual cooking capacity, allow room at top for stirring without spilling. When preparing puddings from a mix, place the powder in a cold kettle, add a small amount of the liquid, and stir to form a thin paste.
5.0 MAINTENANCE Contact the factory, the factory representative or a local service company to WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing. Daily: 1. Wash exposed cleanable areas. Monthly: 1. Clean around burner air mixers, louvered panels and pilots if grease or lint have accumulated.
5.0 MAINTENANCE (Continued) CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing. WARNING: Never spray water into electric controls or components! CAUTION: The equipment and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing. CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.
5.0 MAINTENANCE (Continued) CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING 1. If equipped with a tangent draw-off valve, turn the large hex nut on the draw-off valve counterclockwise until it is completely disengaged from the threads. Grasp the valve knob and slowly pull out the valve stem and disk. Do not allow the disk to come in contact with hard surfaces as it can be damaged and cause valve leakage.
5.0 MAINTENANCE (Continued) CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) WHAT TO DO IF SURFACE RUST APPEARS Metal utensils should never be used as they will scratch the surface of the equipment and rust may begin to form. To remove surface accumulation of rust from the inadvertent use of such utensils, the following procedure may be used.
Page 21
5.0 MAINTENANCE (Continued) CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) STAINLESS STEEL (Continued) Soil and burn deposits which do not respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE™ scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL as any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish.
It will list the gas type and voltage for which the unit was manufactured. Wiring diagrams for the unit are located in a small envelope affixed to the rear side of the front control panel. Unit KLS-20G KLS-40G KLS-60G MANIFOLD PRESSURE Natural Gas - 4 inches W.C.
PILOT ORIFICE SIZES: MODEL KLS-20G, KLS-40G, KLS-60G GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR The gas pressure regulator is an integral part of the combination gas control located just behind the lower front access door. The pressure regulator adjustment is on the lower right side of the gas control (see Figure 1).
6.0 SERVICE (Continued) ADJUSTMENTS To check the manifold pressure a pressure gauge (manometer) must be connected to the 1/8" NPT pressure tap on the gas manifold. With the gas off, connect your pressure indicating instrument to the manifold with a fitting appropriate for your instrument. 1.
