TABLE STEAM KETTLE
TILTING — ELECTRIC SELF CONTAINED
All units are adjusted at the factory. In case of problems at initial installation, check the supply voltage and compare
with information listed on the serial plate.
GENERAL:
When any difficulty arises it is always a good idea to check that the unit has been connected to the gas supply type
and voltage for which it was supplied. This can be done by examining the serial plate located on the top rear exterior
of the unit. It will list the gas type and voltage for which the unit was manufactured.
Wiring diagrams for the unit are located at the rear of the "SERVICE" section in this manual and in a small brown
envelope affixed to the rear side of the front control panel.
WARNING:
ADJUSTMENTS AND SERVICE WORK MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN WHO IS EXPERIENCED IN, AND KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH, THE OPERATION
OF COMMERCIAL GAS COOKING EQUIPMENT. HOWEVER, TO ASSURE YOUR
CONFIDENCE, CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY FOR RELIABLE SERVICE,
DEPENDABLE ADVICE OR OTHER ASSISTANCES, AND FOR GENUINE FACTORY PARTS.
Southbend equipment is sturdily constructed of the best quality materials and is designed to provide desirable service when
treated with ordinary care.
NOTE:
Your Southbend table top steam jacket kettle must be thoroughly cleaned at least once every day.
Certain foods containing salt, vinegar or tomato base additive may cause the inner surface of the kettle to pit.
The kettle should be thoroughly cleaned after each use when these types of food additives are used.
Before adding any food to your new Southbend kettle, it should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any trace of dirt or oils
left over from the manufacturing, storage or transportation of this unit.
TO CLEAN:
Add about one gallon of warm water to the kettle, using a mild detergent, thoroughly wash the inside food
contact surface. Drain and flush with clean water to remove any trace of detergent. Dry thoroughly and buff with a dry cloth
to bring out the luster of the stainless steel.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE VINEGAR OR ANY CORROSIVE CLEANER.
If the pointer on the pressure gauge is between -25 and —30 and the kettle is at room
temperature, the vacuum inside the kettle is good.
If the pointer on the pressure gauge is between —20 and 0 and the kettle is at room
temperature, the vacuum between the inner and outer jacket has been lost. This results in
slow and inefficient heat transfer, thereby, poor performance.
TO RE-ESTABLISH VACUUM: With the kettle empty, turn the thermostat knob to the highest temperature. When the
pressure gauge reaches 5 to 10 psi, open the pressure relief valve for 5 to 10 seconds, then sharply release it. This should
remove the air and any loss of performance should return.
