Self-Generating Steam Jacketed Tilting Kettle
Introduction
Description
Model EC-20T (20 gallon capacity) is an electrically powered, self-contained, tilting kettle. The appliance 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. Kettles are equipped with a "clean lock" to hold kettle in cooking position or 105 degrees
for ease of cleaning, removable electric heating element and controls, and a low water cutoff device for protection of
the heating elements.
Basic Function
Self-contained kettles operate 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 at the desired setting from
1 to 10 (90 degrees Fahrenheit to 285 degrees Fahrenheit, 32 degrees Celsius to 140 degrees Celsius, jacket
temperature).
2. Control circuit is normally completed to the temperature control if the following conditions exist:
a) Water level in the kettle reservoir is adequate to prevent circuit interruption by the low water cut-off device. An
activated cut-off is indicated by the amber low water light.
b) Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed through the tilt interlock switch.
3. Thermostat control closes to energize contactor coils.
4. Power is supplied to the elements through closed power contactors.
5. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reservoir, increase in steam pressure is indicated on the pressure
gauge.
6. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir reaches the setting shown on the temperature control dial, the
temperature control opens to shut off the heating elements. The temperature control will cycle On/Off as required to
maintain set temperature.
