Operational & Maintenance Safety
OPERATION
1. Initial Operational Readiness Check
After the TDB(C) Kettle has been installed according to service and installation
instructions, perform initial start-up as a test, to ensure that the unit is operating
correctly.
a. Remove all literature and packing material from the interior and exterior of
the unit.
b. Make sure electricity supply is switched on.
c. Ensure that the kettle is filled with water.
d. Check the water level in the jacket. The level should be between the lines
on the gauge glass. If the level is low, the jacket water level will be required
to be topped up. (This will require a service call).
e. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show sufficient vacuum
(20 to 30 below zero) or -0.7 to -1.0 Bar, then the jacket will require
venting. (This will require a service call).
f. Switch the power switch to the “On” position. The POWER lamp will
illuminate.
g. Turn the thermostat dial to the required setting. The HEAT lamp will
illuminate.
2. To Shut Down Kettle
a. Turn the thermostat dial to the “O” position.
b. Switch the power switch to the OFF position.
c. For a prolonged shut down, turn the electricity mains off.
Follow steps a and b.
3. Filling the Kettle
Prior to operation, thoroughly clean the kettle using hot water and detergent.

To prevent surge boiling, no more than 80% of the maximum capacity should be
used.
4. Users Thermostat
Provides automatic control of the Kettle Jacket temperature at settings up to
295°F (146°C) maximum.
5. Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help the user understand
how the equipment works. When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the
operating thermostat dial from “O” to a desired setting, the thermostat switch
closes. This lights up the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to
close, allowing power to flow to heating elements.
