Section 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
Market Forge Model FT-20CE (20 gallon capacity) is
electrically powered, self-contained, counter-top, tilting
Kettle. Each model has a jacket of double-wall construction
forming a sealed reservoir around the lower
2 /
3
of the kettle.
The reservoir is charged with water and anti-freeze solution.
Kettles are equipped with a removable electric heating
element and controls, including a low water cutoff device for
protection of the heating element. Both models are of
identical construction, except for kettle size and element
heating capacity.
1.2 BASIC FUNCTIONING
Self-contained kettles operate by generating steam in the
kettle reservoir. The sequence of operation is as follows:
1. Operator flips the power switch to the ON position and
sets the temperature control dial at the desired setting
from 1 to 10 (90°F to 300°F, 32°C to 149°C, jacket
temperature).
2. Control circuit is normally completed to the temp- erature
controller if the following conditions exist:
a. Water level in kettle reservoir is adequate to prevent
circuit interruption by the low water cutoff device. An
activated cutoff is indicated by the amber low water light
turning on, and the heating element shutting off.
b. Kettle is in vertical position with circuit completed
through the tilt interlock switch (Micro switch).
3. Thermostatic control contacts close to energize contactor
coils.
4. Power is supplied to the elements through closed power
contactors.
5. As the temperature of water rises in the kettle reservoir.
increase in steam pressure is indicated on the pressure
gauge.
6. When the temperature of steam in the reservoir reaches
the setting shown on the temperature control dial the
temperature controller opens to break the contacts and
shut off the heating element. ON/OFF cycles will occur as
required to maintain temperature control. See Section 3.
