2.0 INTRODUCTION  
DESCRIPTION  
All direct connected steam jacketed kettles pertaining to this manual are direct steam operated  
pressure vessels of a double-wall stainless steel construction forming a steam chamber (jacket)  
enveloping the lower two thirds of the kettle bowl surface. All kettles are tilting and counter top  
mounted in fixed positions on legs.  
CAPACITIES  
All models are suffixed with either -6, -10, 12 or -20 to indicated the capacity of that kettle in US  
gallons.  
FUNCTIONING MODE  
Direct connected steam jacketed kettles consist of a stainless steel bowl and a stainless steel  
jacket which envelopes two thirds of the lower surface of the bowl thus forming a sealed  
pressure vessel (chamber) into which steam is introduced by means of a manual control valve.  
The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be of a liquid or semi-  
liquid consistency to achieve complete contact with the bowl surface and thus fully absorb the  
heat transmitted through that surface.  
The temperatures required for the cooking process to function adequately must be greater than  
the boiling point of the liquid food product, viz. water. Further, the greater the steam pressure  
used, the higher the temperature and consequently the quicker the cooking process. For  
example, steam pressurized at 30 p.s.i. attains a temperature of 274 degrees Fahrenheit (135  
degrees Celsius).  
In the initial stages of the cooking process when the steam comes in contact with the cold kettle  
bowl surface it condenses and forms considerable amounts of water. A thermostatic steam trap  
should be plumbed to the exit end of the kettle jacket. This trap is a mechanical device that  
closes on high temperatures and opens when the temperature drops thus allowing the water  
formed from condensate to exhaust but retain steam under pressure.

3.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
1. These kettles must be installed on a suitable table or counter top.  
2. On counter top make 7/8" holes at 13 - 3/4" centers for kettle legs on Models KTT-6DS,  
KTT-10DS, KTT-12DS and 12, 23-1/2" centers on Model KTT-20DS. Provide sufficient  
space from rear wall to allow for tilting of kettle.  
3. From bottom of stanchions remove mounting lockouts and washers. Apply Silastic to flared  
edge of stanchions. Insert threaded portion of stanchions through holes. Replace washers  
and locknuts and tighten. Wipe off excess sealant.  
4. Install a safety relief valve in the steam line set at the maximum operating pressure of the  
kettle. Note that one valve will handle a series of kettles.  
5. Connect steam supply line (½" pipe size) to steam inlet fitting on right stanchion.  
6. Install a steam control valve in steam supply line, preferably near the kettle for ease of  
operation.  
7. A pressure reducing valve will be required if the steam supply pressure is greater than the  
maximum kettle working pressure.  
8. If large amounts of water are in the steam line it will be necessary to install one or more ball  
float traps in the line to eliminate the water.  
9. A steam line pressure gauge is also recommended to determine the actual amount of steam  
coming to the kettle.  
10. Install a suitable steam trap in condensate line (left stanchion) near the kettle and run  
condensate return line to drain. If the condensate return line will be directed to the boiler,  
then it must have a check valve and gate shut off valve near the kettle.

4.0 OPERATING PROCEDURES  
CAUTION: THE APPLIANCE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN  
OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE APPLIANCE.  
1. Fill kettle with product to desired level.  
2. Slowly turn the steam control valve ON to full open position.  
3. The water or food should boil 3 - 4 minutes per gallon. If it does not, then incoming pressure  
should be checked to determine that it is adequate to operate the kettle efficiently.  
4. Regulate steam control valve depending on type of food being prepared.  
5. When food is cooked, turn off steam, remove food and clean kettle immediately to prevent  
residue from drying on kettle bowl surface.

5.0 CLEANING PROCEDURES  
Your kettle should be cleaned immediately after each use.  
1. Ensure that steam supply is OFF.  
2. Pre-rinse inside of kettle thoroughly and tilt to remove any food particles.  
3. Using a nylon brush, clean kettle with a mild detergent and warm water rinse. Never use  
steel wool or scouring powder as it will scratch stainless steel.  
4. Tilt kettle and rinse thoroughly draining out detergent solution.  
WARNING  
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE CLEANING AGENTS THAT ARE CORROSIVE.  
Use of cleaning agents that contain chloride, acids or salts are corrosive and may cause pitting  
and corrosion when used over a period of time; this will reduce the life of the appliances.  
Should pitting or corrosion occur this is not covered by warranty.  
Follow the recommended cleaning instructions. Use a mild detergent, warm water and rinse  
thoroughly.  
6.0 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE  
No preventive maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure  
instructions.
