    40 gallons (US). FUNCTIONING MODE Blodgett direct connected steam jacketed kettles consist of a stainless steel bowl and a stainless steel jacket which envelopes two thirds of the lower surface of the bowl thus forming a sealed pressure vessel (chamber) into which steam is introduced by means of a manual control valve.

    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. It is important to use both hands because the plug is heavy. 2.
  • Page 11: Stainless Steel

    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 vapours 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 12: Troubleshooting Maintenance

    6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE No preventive maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure instructions. DRAW-OFF VALVE LEAKS If a leak occurs through the valve stem, replace the “O” ring. If the leak can be attributed to faulty sealing occurring between the stem disc and valve seat, then this problem may be corrected by cleaning off the dried-on food residue with extremely fine emery cloth.
  • Page 13 TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE (continued) VENTING It is recommended that the “optional” steam trap assembly be installed. This should be plumbed to the exit end of the kettle. The thermostatic trap is a mechanical device that closes on high temperature and opens when the temperature drops, allowing the water which formed from condensate to exhaust but retain the steam under pressure.
