4.0 BASIC FUNCTIONING
1. CAPACITIES
All model names contain either a 30, 40 or 60 to indicate the capacity of that kettle in
gallons. For example, model KCH-40DS indicates a tilting two thirds jacketed steam
kettle mounted in a cabinet base, with a capacity of 40 gallons.
CONTROLS
The electric controls are in the upper right area of the kettle front. One control is an
ON-OFF switch for the tilting mechanism. The second control, in the up position tilts
the kettle forward to full tilt. In the down position the kettle is lowered to full down.
Stopping the up or down control will hold the kettle at any position the kettle is
stopped.
PAN CARRIER
The KCH-DS is equipped with a pan carrier. The pan support is made of stainless steel
and is removable, without tools, for cleaning. It holds one 12" x 20" pan and will locate
the pan in a horizontal position not more than 2" from the kettle lip throughout the tilting
operation.
SWING DRAIN
Each kettle has a swing drain to use with the draw-off valve. It is removable, without
tools, and has a removable strainer.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system has been adjusted and tested at the factory and no further
adjustment should be needed. If the unit fails to operate properly, all service work must
be performed by a qualified service agent.
