GENERAL
Installation of the kettle must be accomplished by qualified installation personnel working to all applicable local and national codes. Improper installation of the 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 airflow. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Check the rating plate to ensure that the 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 that has provisions for adequate makeup air. Further information can be obtained by referring to the U.S.A. National Fire Protection Association NFPA96 regulations. These standards have also been adopted by the National Building Code in Canada.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR COMBUSTIBLE AND NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Table-top models must be positioned on a firm, level stand (Cleveland ST-28 or ST-55 recommended), or existing countertop, and bolted in place.
These models are supplied with mounting hardware. This hardware threads into the welded bushing on the underside of the base.
Once the kettle is secure, screw the tilt handle into the threaded hole provided at the right side of the kettle.

GAS

ENSURE THE GAS SUPPLY MATCHES THE KETTLE’S REQUIREMENTS AS STATED ON THE RATING LABEL.
Installation must conform, with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
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).
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.
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.

1. Removed supplied manual shut-off valve and establish mounting location.
2. Add onion and piping as required.
3. Connect the gas line to the manual shut-off valve.

ELECTRICAL

ENSURE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MATCHES THE KETTLE’S REQUIREMENTS AS STATED ON THE RATING LABEL.
A cord and plug are supplied with the unit. Simply plug the unit into any grounded outlet rated for a minimum of 10 amps. The kettle must be electrically installed and grounded in
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions. This unit is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (USA) or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, (Canada).
The standard supply voltage is 115 volts A.C., however, optional A.C. voltages can be supplied on special order. A separate fused disconnect switch must be supplied and
installed in the high-voltage electrical supply line. The wiring diagram is located under the cover of the kettle control box.
NOTE: Units are tested on an in-house ground fault system. However, there is no guarantee the unit will work on all ground fault systems. If you are having problems you can hard wire the unit.
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, requiring 1/2″ copper tubing supply lines.
CLEANING
After installation, the kettle must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to cooking.

INSTALLATION CHECKS

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

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 the air venting procedure.
2. The unit has been thoroughly checked for gas leaks at the factory however the installer should check all connections using soap bubbles or gas detectors for any leaks which may have resulted from shipping or installation.
3. Supply power to the kettle by placing the fused disconnect switch in the “ON” position.
4. Open the gas shut-off valve to turn on the main gas supply.
5. Turn the temperature control dial 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.
6. 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.
7. Raise the kettle to the upright position. The red “LOW WATER” light should go out when the kettle is upright.
8. Turn the temperature control dial 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.
9. Turn the unit OFF.
