When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the operating thermostat dial (1) from "OFF" to a desired

setting, the thermostat switch closes. This lights up the heating indicator light (2) and causes the

contactors to close, allowing power to flow to the heating elements. When the temperature of the steam

jacket reaches the temperature set at the dial, the thermostat switch opens. This turns off the heating

indicator light and opens the contactors, cutting power to the heating elements.

When the kettle cools below the set point, the thermostat switch closes, the heating indicator light comes

on, the contactors close, and the heating elements come on again. On-off cycling continues, keeping the

kettle at the set temperature. This is why the heating indicator light cycles on and off during normal

operation.

If steam pressure greater than 30 psi is generated in the jacket, the safety valve will open and relieve the

excess pressure. If the jacket water level gets too low before the heating elements overheat, the high-limit

control will open and shut off power to the elements until the kettle cools.

Setting the operating thermostat dial to "OFF" shuts down all control and heating circuits.

The kettle is mounted on a pivot (3), and drained by pouring. A marine lock may be fitted to prevent

accidental tipping. No cover is fitted.

A safety valve is provided to relieve excess jacket pressure in the event of a malfunction.
