Operating instructions

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).
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 wiring diagram is located on the back of the
console access panel.
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions.
This unit is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
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 kettle when
installed, must be electrically installed and grounded in
accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990
(USA) or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, Part 1
(Canada).
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.
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.
INSTALLATION CHECKS
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. Supply power to the kettle by placing the fused
disconnect switch to the "ON" position.
2. Unit has been thoroughly checked for gas leaks at
the factory however the installer should check all
connections using soap bubble or gas detector for
any leaks which may have resulted from shipping or
installation.
3. 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.
4. Place the kettle's power on/off switch to the "ON"
position.
5. Turn the temperature control knob to "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. 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.
If the red light remains lit in the upright position, it
indicates a low water condition, and water must be
added to the reservoir before the kettle can be
operated. Refer to the "Reservoir Fill Procedures", on
the kettle's label, for details.
8. Turn the temperature control knob to "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.
CLEANING
After installation the kettle must be thoroughly cleaned
and sanitized prior to cooking. See complete cleaning
instructions in this manual.
