General

The procedures in this manual apply to all models
unless otherwise specified. The pictures and
illustrations are of a model K6ETT countertop
tilting kettle unless otherwise noted. All
information and specifications contained in this
manual are based on the latest product

Countertop Tilting Kettles

The electric countertop tilting kettles are self
contained two thirds jacketed kettles. The lower
two thirds of the kettle bowl is a double wall
stainless steel construction that provides a
reservoir for a solution of heat transfer fluid and
distilled water for improved heating of the kettle
contents. The kettles are used to prepare a
variety of liquid or semi-liquid food products such
as soups, stews and sauces.

MODELS COVERED

The 6 and 12 gallon kettles can be mounted to a
counter top or optional stand. The 20 gallon kettle is a
floor model mounted to its own stand.
