DIMENSIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: (Tilt models only) 1/2" conduit connection to controls. Unless otherwise specified, Field Wire Electrical Connection to be 120

Volts, 60 Hertz single phase 10 Amps with grounding wire.

DRAIN: 5/8 O.D. tubing to open floor drain. No Solid Connection.

STEAM SUPPLY: 3/4" IPS for incoming steam. Min 5 PSI(34 kPa), MAX 30 PSI(207 kPa), 45 PSI (310 kPa) optional.

COLD WATER: 3/8" O.D. Tubing to faucet.

HOT WATER: 3/8" O.D. tubing to faucet.

Important: Pressure reducing valve required if incoming steam pressure exceeds the kettle rating.

2.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Electrical and grounding connections must comply with

applicable portions of the National Electrical Codes.

WARNING: Plumbing connections must comply with applicable health,

safety and plumbing codes.

1. Select a location to provide drainage directly below the draw-off valve. Allow

sufficient rear clearance from the wall for the kettle cover to lift upright freely without

obstructions. Allow for clearance to side service panels.

2. Level the unit. Then mark anchoring hole locations through flanged adjustable feet.

3. With hole locations marked, drill holes and insert expansion plugs to accommodate

5/16" size lag bolts.

4. Reposition the kettle. Check the level again.

5. Bolt the kettle down and seal with a high grade sealing compound. Sealant must be

applied not only to bolt heads but around the flanges and must be making contact

with floor surface to meet N.S.F. requirements. Wipe off excess sealant

immediately.

6. Connect the steam line to the kettle (3/4" i.p.s., 5 psi minimum to 30 psi maximum, or

45 psi with optional high pressure operation).

7. If the incoming steam pressure is greater than the kettle maximum operating

pressure, then a pressure reducing valve (supplied by others) must be installed in

the line.

8. Connect hot and cold water supply to the faucet.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)

9. A control box with a power supply equivalent to electrical rating of the unit should be

located nearby. A waterproof electrical connection for the power supply to the unit

must be provided.

10. The relief valve on the kettle must not be adjusted or closed off as it is set to relieve

excess pressure in the kettle.

11. If large amounts of water accumulate in the steam line, it will be necessary to install

one or more ball float traps (supplied by others) in the line to eliminate the water.

12. A steam line pressure gauge (supplied by others) is also recommended to determine

the actual amount of steam coming to the kettle.

13. Turn unit on when electrically connected, then check for proper operation.

3.0 INTRODUCTION

DESCRIPTION

The Blodgett KCH-DS kettles are direct steam tilting models mounted in a modular

cabinet base. It has a hydraulic pump and cylinder to tilt the kettle to any angle between

zero and ninety degrees for complete emptying of food products. Includes a pan carrier

that holds a 12" x 20" pan. (Pan not supplied.)

The KCH-DS are direct steam operated pressure vessels with a double wall stainless

steel construction forming a steam chamber (jacket) around the lower two thirds of the

kettle. These kettles are furnished with a steam control valve and a hot and cold water fill

faucet mounted on the stainless steel counter top. Every kettle has a pressure relief

valve. Access to the inner cabinet area for installation or service is through the

removable side panels or the doors on the front of the unit.

The kettle bowl is the container for the food product which ideally should be a liquid or

semi-liquid for complete contact with the bowl surface to fully absorb the heat

transmitted through the surface from the steam in the kettle jacket.

These kettles are intended to be permanently floor mounted with adjustable flanged feet.

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.

5.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Do not tilt kettle with lid down.

WARNING: The kettle is hot. Use care when operating and servicing the kettle.

1. Turn the power switch on only during tilt cycles. Running the hydraulic power unit

continuously may overheat or damage the system.

2. Push the toggle switch to the up position. Check that the kettle begins to rise. Allow

the kettle to travel to its full up position then push the toggle switch to the down

position and the kettle will return to the original position. The kettle will stop and hold

its position at any point along the travel path if the toggle switch is released.

3. Check that the draw-off valve is closed.

4. Fill the kettle with product to the desired level.

5. Slowly turn the steam control valve to the full open position (counterclockwise). The

kettle will begin to heat

6. Regulate the steam control valve depending on the type of food being prepared.

7. When the food is cooked, turn off the steam, remove the food by tilting. Clean the

kettle immediately to prevent residue from drying on the kettle bowl.

NOTE: Food products with milk or egg base should be placed into a cold kettle before the

cooking operation begins. Avoid sudden contact of these food products in a hot kettle, the

food will stick to the surface.

6.0 MAINTENANCE

KETTLE

No preventive maintenance is required other than adhering to the Cleaning Procedure

instructions.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

SERVICE

Set up regular schedule for checking the oil temperature, hydraulic hoses and keeping

the equipment clean. A thick layer of dirt acts as insulation and prevents the hydraulic

system from getting rid of heat.

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.

1. Hot oil in the Hydraulic System is one of the primary causes of poor operation.

When the tilt system is not in use turn MOTOR switch off.

2. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear and aging.

3. Check that fluid levels are kept full.

4. To replace oil, fill through filler breather.

5. Use proper oil as specified by factory. TYPE: AWH32 or equivalent.

6. Check the cleanliness of the oil strainer inside the reservoir once per year. This item

can be washed in clean Varsol.

7. Change the breather filter once per year.

8. Change the oil once every two years.
