    Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate located on the lower rear of the kettle. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, contact your dealer or Blodgett. Select a location with drainage directly below the tangent draw-off. Allow sufficient rear clearance from wall for kettle cover to lift upright freely and completely without obstructions.
  • Page 7 WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A Control Box with power supply equivalent to electrical rating of the kettle should be located conveniently nearby.
  • Page 8: Description

    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.
  • Page 9: Operation Instructions

    pressure attained in the jacket and consequently the quicker the cooking process. For example, steam pressurized at 30 p.s.i. attains a temperature of 274º Fahrenheit. Since air is an unsuitable media through which heat may be transferred, it has been removed from the kettle jacket during testing at the factory.

Add water to kettle for cleaning purposes. 10. Wash kettle thoroughly. See CLEANING procedure, next section. APPROXIMATE (JACKET) TEMPERATURE 140...
  • Page 11: Cleaning Instruction

    7.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive. 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.
  • Page 12 2. Replace the valve stem assembly and turn the hex nut until snug. Rinse the kettle with clean warm water. 3. Leave the draw-off valve open when the kettle is not in use. DAIRY DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING 1. Remove the plug by first removing the handle, then turn the plug to line up with the pin and pull with both hands.
  • Page 13 equipment could be adversely affected. STAINLESS STEEL To remove normal dirt, grease or product residue from stainless steel, use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any other corrosive cleaner. To remove grease and food splatters or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment, apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines.
  • Page 14: General Maintenance

    8.0 GENERAL MAINTENANCE No general maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure instructions. 9.0 TROUBLESHOOTING 9.1 LOW WATER LEVEL Proper water level must be maintained within the jacket for the kettle to operate. Depletion of water may occur from excessive opening of or leakage through the safety relief valve. If water is below required operating level, either initially at start-up or during use, the kettle will automatically shut off, and the LOW WATER signal light will come on.
  • Page 15 9.2 EXTREMELY SLOW COOKING TIME If the cooking time is abnormally slow, then the difficulty may be due to air being present in the kettle jacket. To remove air, follow AIR VENTING INSTRUCTIONS. If the kettle will not reach and maintain Pressure Gauge zone in the green area on the gauge when cold, a slow leak may have developed in the jacket.
  • Page 16 9.5 VENTING INSTRUCTION Check vacuum/pressure gauge when the kettle is cold. Gauge should be in the green vacuum zone. If not, air must be vented (removed) for proper heating. Use the following procedures to vent air. 1. With the kettle empty, place power switch in ON position. 2.
