Introduction
DESCRIPTION
Model FT-20CE (20 gallon capacity) is an electrically
powered, self-contained, tilting kettle. The appliance has
a jacket of double-wall construction forming a sealed res-
ervoir around the lower two-thirds of the kettle. The reser-
voir is charged with distilled water. Kettles are equipped
with a “clean lock” to hold kettle in cooking position or 105
degrees for ease of cleaning, removable electric heating
element and controls, and a low water cutoff device for
protection of the heating elements.
BASIC FUNCTIONING
Self-contained kettles operate by generating steam in the
kettle reservoir. The sequence of operation is as follows:
1. Operator turns the power switch to the ON position
and sets the temperature control dial at the desired
setting from 1 to 10 (90 degrees Fahrenheit to 285
degrees Fahrenheit, 32 degrees Celsius to 140 de-
grees Celsius, jacket temperature).
2. Control circuit is normally completed to the tempera-
ture control if the following conditions exist:
a. Water level in the kettle reservoir is adequate to
prevent circuit interruption by the low water cut-
off device. An activated cut-off is indicated by the
amber low water light.
b. Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed
through the tilt interlock switch.
3. Thermostat control closes to energize contactor coils.
4. Power is supplied to the elements through closed
power contactors.
5. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reser-
voir, increase in steam pressure is indicated on the
pressure gauge.
6. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir
reaches the setting shown on the temperature con-
trol dial, the temperature control opens to shut off the
heating elements. The temperature control will cycle
On/Off as required to maintain set temperature.
