National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA, 02269. 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 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 (KLS-E models) or pedestals (KLP-E models).
40 US gallons. FUNCTIONING MODE All electrically powered self steam generating kettles consist of a jacket charged with a solution of water and antifreeze sufficient to completely immerse and protect replaceable electric heating elements.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: The kettle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the kettle. 1. Ensure that the external electrical service to kettle is on. 2. Check pressure gauge for correct cold kettle reading. Reading should be in the green area of the gauge indicating 25 - 30 In.
4.0 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.
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.
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.
5.0 MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING GENERAL MAINTENANCE No general maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure instructions. TROUBLESHOOTING 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.

(i.e. setting of ‘10'), then eventually the kettle should read its maximum temperature (290ºF) in the jacket and a corresponding pressure reading of approximately 40 p.s.i. should be evident on the Pressure Gauge (on kettles rated at 50 p.s.i.). Finally, when the kettle is turned ON and Thermostat Knob dialed, check that the Contactors are being energized and power is being made available to the heating elements.
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.
