PARTS LOCATED NEAR THE GEARS.
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW ALL
PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE LABEL OF
THE WATER TREATMENT COMPOUND.
CAUTION
BEFORE YOU HEAT THE KETTLE AGAIN
FOR ANY PURPOSE, TURN THE ELBOW
BACK CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE OPENING
FACES DOWNWARD.
WARNING
ELECTRIC POWER ALWAYS SHOULD BE
SHUT OFF BEFORE WORK IS DONE ON
INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
WARNING
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER FROM
THE UNIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO GREASE
THE TRUNNION BEARINGS.
CAUTION

IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES FOR LONGER THAN 30
MINUTES. LONGER CONTACT CAN
CAUSE CORROSION.

Maintenance
d.
Air introduced to the jacket during filling must be removed to obtain
efficient heating. See "Jacket Vacuum."
Water Treatment Procedure
8.
a.
Obtain water treatment compound and a pH test kit from your
authorized parts distributor.
b.
Fill a mixing container with the measured amount of water required.
(See table). Distilled water is recommended.
Kettle Model
20E-KLT
40E-KLT
60E-KLT
c.
Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of the container, with about
1 inch of the strip below the surface of the water.
d.
Measure the water treatment compound. One way to do this is to add
the compound from a measuring cup.
e.
Stir the water continuously, while you slowly add treatment compound,
until the water has a pH between 10.5 and 11.5. Judge the pH by
frequently comparing the test strip color with the color chart provided in
the test kit. If you are color blind use an electroanalytical instrument to
measure the pH level or have a person who is not color blind read the
test strip color level.
f.
As you add water to the jacket, check water level to ensure that it
is between minimum and maximum marks on gauge. Stop adding water
when it reaches the maximum marker on the gauge.
g.
Record the exact amounts of water and treatment compound needed.
These amounts may be used again, if the same water sources and
compound are used. However, it is best to check the pH each time
treated water is prepared.
Component Replacement Service Personnel should check the unit at least
9.
once a year. This periodic maintenance should include inspecting electrical
wires and connections, and cleaning the inside of the control console.
At least twice a year, grease the two trunnion bearings and worm gear. We
recommends the use of number two grade LGI lithium grease. Add grease
through the zerk fittings on the gear hosing until the grease flows out of the
bearings around the trunnion shaft. Also, add grease in the gear to cover arc
that is in contact with the worm gear. Clean up excess grease.
