3.0 INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Model KLT-12G (12 gallon capacity) gas fired, self-contained, tilting kettle. The kettle has a
jacket of double-wall construction forming a sealed reservoir around the lower two-thirds of the
kettle. The reservoir is charged with distilled water. The kettle is equipped with a "clean lock" to
hold kettle in cooking position or tilted 105 degrees for ease of cleaning. The kettle is also
equipped with automatic ignition, low water cut off and tilt switch, which, when activated, shuts
down the burner.
BASIC FUNCTION
The kettle operates by generating steam in the kettle reservoir. The sequence of operation is as
follows:
1. Operator turns the power switch to the on position and sets the temperature control dial to
the desired setting.
2. The red light comes on indicating the kettle is heating. The green "IGNITION" light comes
on indicating that the ignition and burner are active.
3. Once the kettle reaches the set temperature, the red "TEMPERATURE" light and the green
"IGNITION" light extinguish.
4. All kettles are supplied with sufficient water in the jacket. If for any reason the water level
falls below the required amount to operate the kettle, the burner shuts down and the amber
light comes on. See Adding Water in Service section.
5. The sight glass indicates the water level within the kettle jacket.
6. The relief valve is a safety feature which prevents the internal kettle pressure from
exceeding 50 PSI. It should never be tampered with.
