2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the kettle is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate
located on the lower rear of the kettle. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree,
contact your dealer or Blodgett.
Select a location with drainage directly below the tangent draw-off. Allow sufficient rear clearance
from wall for kettle cover to lift upright freely and completely without obstructions.
INSTALLATION
1. The kettle must be installed in accordance with:
State and/or local codes.
In the USA, the National Electrical code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). In Canada, the
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA Standard C22.1 (latest edition).
2. Set the kettle in the installation location.
3.
With the kettle in position, place a carpenter‟s level on top of the kettle and turn the adjustable
feet to level kettle side-to-side and front to back. On pedestal base models use shims to level
kettle.
4. Mark hole locations on floor through anchoring holes provided in flanged adjustable feet, or
holes provided on pedestal base.
5. Remove kettle and drill holes in locations marked on the floor (see installation diagram). Insert
proper anchoring devices to accommodate 5/16" size lag bolts (not supplied).
6. Reposition kettle. Re-level kettle by making necessary adjustments on flanged feet or shims.
7. Bolt down kettle and seal with Silastic or other equivalent sealing compound. Sealant must be
applied not only to bolt heads but also around flanges or pedestal base making contact with
floor surface to fulfill NSF requirements. Wipe off excess sealant immediately.
