GENERAL

Installation of the kettle must be accomplished by qualified installation personnel working to all applicable local and national codes. Improper installation of product could cause injury or damage.

This equipment is built to comply with applicable standards for manufacturers. Included among those approval agencies are: UL, A.G.A., NSF, ASME/N.Bd., CSA, CGA, ETL, and others. Many local codes exist, and it is the responsibility of the owner/installer to comply with these codes.

Observe all clearance requirements to provide proper make-up air flow. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check rating plate to ensure that kettle has been equipped to operate with the type of gas available at the installation.

VENTILATION

Gas fired kettles are only to be installed under a ventilation hood in a room which has provisions for adequate make up air. Further information can be obtained by referring to the U.S.A. National Fire Protection Associations NFPA96 regulations. These standards have also been adopted by the National Building Code in Canada.

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

This unit must be installed in accordance with the clearances shown on the rating label which is adhered to the unit.

FOR YOUR SAFETY. Keep the appliance area free and clear of combustible materials.

GAS

ENSURE THE GAS SUPPLY MATCHES THE KETTLE’S REQUIREMENTS AS STATED ON THE RATING PLATE.

It is recommended that a sediment trap (drip leg) be installed in the gas supply line. If the gas pressure exceeds 14” water column, a pressure regulator must be installed, to provide a maximum of 14” water column gas pressure to the gas control valve.

Connect the gas line to the manual valve located at the rear of the control box.

Installation must be in accordance with local codes and/or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition (USA) or the latest Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment CAN/ CGA B149.1 and CAN/ CGA B149.2 (Canada). Use a gas pipe joint compound which is resistant to L.P. gas. Test all pipe joints for leaks with soap and water solution. Ensure that the gas pressure regulator is set for the manifold pressure indicated on the gas rating plate.

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).

WATER

The sealed jacket of the gas-fired kettle is precharged with the correct amount of a water-based formula, and therefore, no water connection is required to the kettle jacket. The kettle can be equipped with optional hot and cold water taps, the taps require 1/2″ copper tubing as supply lines.

CLEANING

After installation the kettle must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to cooking.

MOVING UNIT

1. While still on skid, move unit as close to final installation position as possible.
2. Prepare unit for lifting as shown in diagram.
3. Lift gently with a forklift or jacks and remove skid.
4. Lower gently to ground and remove forklift and blocking.
5. If unit has to be re-positioned, slide gently. Do not twist or push one side of unit excessively and cause binding on trunnions.

LEVELING

Note: Instructions reflect a more complicated twin mixer kettle – process for single mixer kettles is the same.

_
Recommended Leveling Procedure_

1. With straight-edge, line the backs of the consoles up with each other (dotted line A ).
2. Level and straight-edge backs of consoles (dotted line B ). Adjustments are made by turning flanges on back feet only.
3. Level consoles individually from front to back (dotted lines C ). Adjustments are made by turning flanges on front feet only.
4. Re-check that the back is level (dotted line B ) and then the front (dotted line D ). Adjust if necessary.
5. Check that mixer bridge is level and guide pins lock smoothly without binding. If not repeat steps 1 through 4.

Guide Pins
NOTE: See Operating Instructions before operating unit.

6. Make electrical connections (see electrical service connections) and test mixer bridge as follows:

   • A / Raise mixer bridge.
   • B / Swing bridge out over centre console.
   • C / Swing bridge to the left as far as possible.
   • D / Lower bridge.
   • E / Bridge pins should enter pin hole on kettle perfectly, If not return to step 1 and repeat leveling steps.
   • F / Raise bridge and swing to far right (for twin mixers only).
   • G / Repeat steps D and E (for twin mixers only).
     

7. Once positioned and leveled, permanently secure the kettle’s flanged feet to the floor using 5/16 inch stainless steel lag bolts and floor anchors (supplied by the installer). Secure each of the flanged feet with one bolt in each hole. Seal joints of flanged feet with a silicone sealant.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE CONNECTIONS

ENSURE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MATCHES THE KETTLE’S REQUIREMENTS AS STATED ON THE RATING LABEL.

Install in accordance with local codes and/or the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No 70-1981 (USA) or the Canadian Electric Code CSA Standard C22.1 (Canada). A separate fused disconnect switch must be supplied and installed. The kettle must be electrically grounded by the installer.

The electric supply must match the power requirements specified on the kettle’s rating plate. The copper wiring must be adequate to carry the required current at the rated voltage.

1. Ensure main power is turned off before connecting wires.
2. Remove the screws at the rear of the mixer console cover, and remove the cover. A wiring diagram is affixed to the underside of the console cover.
3. Feed permanent copper wiring 18″ through the cutout in the bottom of the console. Connect wiring in junction box in the bottom of the console.
4. Turn main power back on.
5. Check for correct rotation of electric motor (access by removing top front cover on center console). If rotation is incorrect, disconnect main power and reverse any two of the three live lines.
6. Replace the console cover and secure it with screws.

COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION

Mixer Kettles with an air activated discharge valve require a minimum of 90 PSI to operate correctly.

If the unit is also supplying air to a Metering Filling Station then a pressure of 100 PSI at a minimum volume of 25 CFM is required.

The air supplied to the mixer should be clean and dry. No oil should be added to the supply air. We recommend the compressed air system be equipped with a drier, filter, and automatic water dump on the air compressor receiver tank. If the distance between the tank and the unit is less than 100 feet then a minimum line size of 3/4″ is required. A distance of 100 to 300 feet requires a minimum 1″ line.

QUALITY ASSURANCE CHECKS

INSTALLATION

1. Visual: Examine unit for scratches, dents, or other defects.
2. Visual: Check flanged feet all have bolts holding them.
3. General: Check all accessible wiring, mechanical and plumbing connections by hand for secure, tight and satisfactory assembly. Remove all paper.
4. Level: Check unit has been leveled and squared correctly

KETTLE

Although the kettle has been thoroughly tested before leaving the factory, the installer is responsible for ensuring the proper operation of kettle once installed.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE DURING A POWER FAILURE.
KEEP APPLIANCE AND AREA FREE AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLES.

1. Before turning the kettle on, read the vacuum/pressure gauge. The gauge’s needle should be in the green zone. If the needle is in the “VENT AIR” zone, follow air venting procedure.
2.  Supply power to the kettle by placing the fused disconnect switch to the “ON” position.
3. Turn on main gas supply to unit. Open the kettle’s shut-off valve (located at back of console).
4. Turn the temperature control knob to “1`” (Min.). The green LED light should remain lit, indicating the burner is lit, until the set temperature is reached. Then the green light will cycle on and off, indicating the burner is cycling on and off to maintain temperature.
5. Tilt the kettle forward. After a few seconds the red “LOW WATER” light should be lit when the kettle is in a tilted position. This light indicates that the burner has automatically been shut off by the kettle’s safety circuit. This is a normal condition when the kettle is in a tilted position.
6. Raise the kettle to the upright position. The red “LOW WATER” light should go out when the kettle is upright.
7. Turn the temperature control knob to “10” (Max.) and allow the kettle to preheat. The green light should remain on until the set temperature is reached. Then the green light will cycle ON and OFF, indicating the burner is cycling ON and OFF to maintain temperature.

MIXER

1. Raise Bridge: If bridge does not raise then check motor rotation. Bridge should not raise until speed control is turned to minimum and then adjusted back up.
2. Swing Bridge: Bridge when fully raised should swing without hitting any object, i.e. control housing, kettle lip. Check that hydraulic hoses are not being pinched by stops on swivel assembly.
3. Tilt Kettle: Kettle tilts smoothly both down and back up. If power tilt, check that micro switches are adjusted properly (kettle is level in upright position and drains fully when tilted) and are not being crushed by gear.
4. Lower Bridge: Raise bridge. Switch to mix. Turn speed control to zero to reset micro switch then set speed control to number four. Check that unit does not begin to mix until bridge has lowered part way into the kettle. Check that mixer bridge pin lowers into pin hole correctly
5. Speed Control Main: – Main agitator arm not rotating when set at “0” but will start to move slowly on “1” . Speed control makes positive contact with micro switch.
6. Speed Control Secondary:   – Set main speed control to five. Adjust secondary control from minimum to maximum. Look for considerable speed variance.
7. Water Faucets: Turn on hot water faucet. Turn off and check for leaks in piping and drips from faucet spout. Repeat above with cold water faucet.
8. Product Discharge valve:   Add water to kettle. Check for leaks from valve. Open and close a few times Valve and check for leaks again.

STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING

(Suppied courtesy of Nafem. For more information visit their web site at www.nafem.org)

Contrary to popular belief, stainless steels ARE susceptible to rusting.
Corrosion on metals is everywhere. It is recognized quickly on iron and steel as unsightly yellow/orange rust. Such metals are called “active” because they actively corrode in a natural environment when their atoms combine with oxygen to form rust.

Stainless steels are passive metals because they contain other metals, like chromium, nickel and manganese that stabilize the atoms. 400 series stainless steels are called ferritic, contain chromium, and are magnetic; 300 series stainless steels are called austenitic, contain chromium and nickel; and 200 series stainless, also austenitic, contains manganese, nitrogen and carbon. Austenitic types of stainless are not magnetic, and
generally provide greater resistance to corrosion than ferritic types.

With 12-30 percent chromium, an invisible passive film covers the steel’s surface acting as a shield against corrosion. As long as the film is intact and not broken or contaminated, the metal is passive and stain-less. If the passive film of stainless steel has been broken, equipment starts to corrode. At its end, it rusts.

Enemies of Stainless Steel

There are three basic things which can break down stainless steel’s passivity layer and allow corrosion to occur.

1. Mechanical abrasion
2. Deposits and water
3. Chlorides

Mechanical abrasion means those things that will scratch a steel surface. Steel pads, wire brushes and scrapers are prime examples.

Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees of hardness. Depending on what part of the country you live in, you may have hard or soft water. Hard water may leave spots, and when heated leave deposits behind that if left to sit, will break down the passive layer and rust stainless steel. Other deposits from food preparation and service must be properly removed.

Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in water, food and table salt. One of the worst chloride perpetrators can come from household and industrial cleaners.

So what does all this mean? Don’t Despair!
Here are a few steps that can help prevent stainless steel rust.

1. Use the proper tools.
   When cleaning stainless steel products, use non-abrasive tools. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will not harm steel’s passive layer. Stainless steel pads also can be used but the scrubbing motion must be in the direction of the manufacturers’ polishing marks.

2. Clean with the polish lines.
   Some stainless steel comes with visible polishing lines or “grain.” When visible lines are present, always scrub in a motion parallel to the lines. When the grain cannot be seen, play it safe and use a soft cloth or plastic scouring pad.

3. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners.
   While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever-increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of chloride content in the cleaner used, contact your cleaner supplier. If your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask your supplier if they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts; it also can attack stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting.

4. Treat your water.
   Though this is not always practical, softening hard water can do much to reduce deposits. There are certain filters that can be installed to remove distasteful and corrosive elements. To insure proper water treatment, call a treatment specialist.

5. Keep your food equipment clean.
   Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride cleaners at recommended strength. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn stains. If you boil water in stainless steel equipment, remember the single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Heating cleaners that contain chlorides have a similar effect.

6. Rinse, rinse, rinse.
   If chlorinated cleaners are used, rinse and wipe equipment and supplies dry immediately. The sooner you wipe off standing water, especially when it contains cleaning agents, the better. After wiping equipment down, allow it to air dry; oxygen helps maintain the stainless steel’s passivity film.

7. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel.

8. Regularly restore/passivate stainless steel.

Review

1. Stainless steels rust when passivity (film-shield) breaks down as a result of scrapes, scratches, deposits and chlorides.
2. Stainless steel rust starts with pits and cracks.
3. Use the proper tools. Do not use steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers to clean stainless steel.
4. Use non-chlorinated cleaners at recommended concentrations. Use only chloride- free cleaners.
5. Soften your water. Use filters and softeners whenever possible.
6. Wipe off cleaning agent(s) and standing water as soon as possible. Prolonged contact causes eventual problems.

To learn more about chloride-stress corrosion and how to prevent it, contact the equipment manufacturer or cleaning materials supplier.

Kettle Safety Inspection Checklist

Just recently a competitor’s steam jacketed kettle exploded causing serious personal injury and damage to a kitchen. In most cases these accidents are caused by poor maintenance and/or incorrect installation.

We at Cleveland would like to restate that regular inspection and maintenance of units is essential to obtain trouble free and safe operation of equipment. Inspections must include testing of the pressure relief valve and checks of the operating system to insure that it has not been altered.

No safety features designed into the equipment should ever be tampered with. Tampering with or bypassing controls is a very dangerous practice and unfortunately we have seen several cases of this. Following is a short list of the most common and the most dangerous alterations performed on kettles.

SAFETY VALVE:

Incorrect Installations

1. Safety valve has plug threaded into the discharge opening preventing any steam from escaping.
   Plug
   

2. Safety valve’s tube diameter has been reduced.
   Tube diameter reduced
   

3. Safety valve is sticking, frozen shut or plugged. To test, refer to Service Bulletin SE90038 rev. 2, “Pressure Relief Valve Periodic Testing”.
   Frozen, stuck, or plugged
   

4. Safety valve is plumbed to a drain or water line creating back pressure and reducing flow.
   Plumbed to drain or water line
   

SAFETY THERMOSTAT:

Incorrect Installations

1. Safety thermostat probe is not completely inserted into tubing.
2. Safety thermostat probe is removed from tubing.
3. Safety thermostat electrical connection is bypassed.
