6 OM-KLT-G
For efficient performance the kettle must be installed in a well-ventilated area. Items
which might restrict or obstruct the flow of air for combustion and ventilation must be
removed. The area directly around the appliance must be free of combustible materials.
1. Installation can be on a combustible or noncombustible floor. Clearances should
be per table below.
2. The kettle should be installed in an adequately ventilated room with provision
for adequate air supply. The ventilation must employ a vent hood and exhaust
fan with no direct connection between the vent duct and the kettle flue. Do not
obstruct the flue or vent duct after installation.
3. Set the kettle in place and level it using a spirit level on the bar rim, by turning
the bullet or flange feet to adjust leg length. Allow clearance around the unit for
cleaning, maintenance and service.
4. Complete the piping to the gas service main with ½” line or approved equivalent.
5. For standard units, provide 115 vac, 60 Hz, single phase 5 AMP electrical
service. The unit may also be ordered for alternate electric service of 208 VAC or
240 VAC. Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical Code in accordance
with ANSI/NFPA 70 (current edition), or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2
(current edition), as applicable. Use the wiring diagram inside the service panel
and at the rear of this manual
6. Bring electrical service through the entrance at the rear of the support housing
with a ½ inch conduit connector. Make a watertight connection with the
incoming lines.
7. Electrically ground the unit at the terminal provided.
8. After the kettle has been connected to the gas supply, check all gas joints for
leaks. DO NOT USE FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS. A thick soap solution or other
suitable leak detector should be employed.
