The TDB and TDBC units are table top, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with an elec-
tronically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appro-
priate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. The kettle is available in20, 24, 40 or
48 quart (18.8, 22.6, 37.6 or 45.3 liters) capacities.
The body of the kettle is constructed of stainless steel, welded into one solid piece.
The kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a butterfly shaped pouring lip. It
has a steam jacket rated for working pressures up to 50 psi (345 kPa, 3.45 bar).
Kettle finish is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside.
A tilt handle on the TDB and a hand wheel crank on the TDBC kettle allows the op-
erator to manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled manner. Pour height accepts
pans up to 4 “ (10 cm) high on a table top.
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle capacity and heated by electric-
ity, delivers steam into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam jacket permits
uniform, efficient heating at temperatures as low as 150°F (65.5°C) and as high
as 295°F (146°C). In addition to the electronic temperature control, the unit has a
tilt cut-off switch, low water cut-off, safety valve, and high-limit pressure switch
as safety features. A heating indicator light, pressure gauge, and sight glass are
provided for monitoring kettle operation.

13. If cleaning problems persist, contact your cleaning product representative for
assistance. The supplier has a trained technical staff with laboratory facilities
to serve you.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE PRESSURE
RELIEF VALVE. SEVERE BURNS CAN RESULT ON EXPOSED SKIN. FAILURE
TO CHECK PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OPERATION PERIODICALLY COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION: KEEP GREASE AWAY FROM ELECTRICAL PARTS LOCATED NEAR THE
GEARS.
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE
LABEL OF THE WATER TREATMENT COMPOUND.
WARNING: USE OF ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED BY
THE MANUFACTURER OR THEIR AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS CAN CAUSE
INJURY TO THE OPERATOR AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND WILL
VOID ALL WARRANTIES.
CAUTION: INSURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS REMOVED AND THE GAS IS TURNED OFF AT
THE SHUTOFF VALVE PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THIS
KETTLE.
WARNING: THIS KETTLE IS DESIGNED TO BE WATER RESISTANT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROPER MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES MAY VOID THE WARRANTY.

7 OM-TDB(C) (C,A) (CE) INTERNATIONAL
The pressure gauge should show a vacuum of -20
to -30 inches of mercury (Hg) vacuum or a range of
-0.7 to -1.0 Bar when the kettle is cold.
The open end of the pressure relief valve
elbow must face downward.
The pressure relief valve and fill plug are located directly
behind the pressure/vacuum gauge.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
NOTICE: Contact an authorized representative when repairs are required.
A Maintenance & Service Log is provided at the back of this manual. Each time
maintenance is performed on your kettle, enter the date on which the work was
done, what was done, and who did it. Keep this manual on file and available
for operators to use. Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and
increase the efficiency of operation. The following points should be checked:
[BY OPERATOR]
1. Check the pressure/vacuum gauge every day. The gauge should show a
vacuum of -20 to -30 inches of mercury (Hg) vacuum or a range of -0.7 to
-1.0 Bar, see “Jacket Vacuum” in this manual.
2. Also check the jacket water level every day. It should be between the marks
on the gauge glass. If the level is low, see “Jacket Filling and Water Treatment”
in this manual.
3. Carefully test the pressure relief valve at least twice each month. With the
kettle operating at 15 psi (105 kPa, 1.1 bar),pull the test lever and let it
snap back to its closed position. If there is little discharge (mostly air), and
the pressure gauge drops back to 0 psi (0 kPa, 0 bar), allow the pressure to
build back to 5 psi (35 kPa, 0.34 bar) and repeat the procedure. (Tip: Using a
screwdriver or other implement to pull the ring will help you avoid contact with
the steam.
[BY SERVICE TECHNICIAN]
4. Electrical wiring should be kept securely connected and in good condition.
5. The inside of the support housing should be kept clean.
6. At least twice a year, grease the two trunnion bearings. The bearings are
located within the kettle support housing. Remove the access panels from
the support housing with a screwdriver to gain access to the grease fittings.
Use a lithium-based, multi-purpose grease. When the access panels are
removed, the mounting bolts for the trunnion bearings and tilt switch can also
be checked for tightness.
7. On the crank-tilt models, the gear housing has fittings for proper lubrication
of moving parts. Because the gears do not run in oil, periodic lubrication
with grease is necessary. Frequency of lubrication will depend on operating
conditions, but the service should be performed at least once every six months.
8. Use a #2 grade LGI lithium grease to add grease through Zerk fittings on gear
housing until it flows out of the bearings around the trunnion shaft.
9. Place liberal amounts of grease on the gear to cover the arc that is in contact
with the worm gear.
10. Keep electrical wiring and connections in good condition.
11. Keep the inside of the control console clean and dry.
JACKET VACUUM/REMOVING AIR FROM JACKET
When the kettle is cold, a positive pressure reading on the pressure/vacuum gauge
or a reading near 0 psi (0 kPa, 0 bar) indicates that there is air in the jacket. Air in
the jacket acts as an insulator, and slows kettle heating.
To remove air:
1. Start the unit. (Be sure there is water or product in the kettle when heating).
2. When the pressure/vacuum gauge reaches a positive pressure reading of 5 psi
(35 kPa, 0.34 bar), release the trapped air and steam by pulling up the safety
valve ring for about five seconds. Repeat this step three or four times. Then let
the pull ring snap back into the closed position.
3. If there is little discharge (mostly air), and the pressure gauge drops back to 0
psi (0 kPa, 0 bar), allow the pressure to build back to 5 psi (35 kPa, 0.34 bar)
and repeat the procedure.
4. Once steam has been vented from the jacket as described in b, above, remove
the hot water from the kettle and replace it with cold. This will condense steam
in the kettle jacket, and the pressure gauge should show -20 to -30 inches
of mercury (Hg) vacuum or a range of -0.7 to -1.0 Bar. If it does not, or if the
vacuum is leaking down, contact an authorized service agency to correct the
problem.
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
At least twice a month, test the pressure relief valve. Test the valve with the kettle
operating at 15 PSI (105 kPa, 1.1 bar), by holding the test ring for at least five
seconds. Then release the ring and permit the valve to snap shut. If the ring does
not activate, if there is no discharge, or if the valve leaks, stop using the kettle
immediately and contact a authorized service representative.
JACKET FILLING
The jacket was charged at the factory with the proper amount of treated water.
You may need to restore this water, either because it was lost as venting steam or
by draining. If you are replacing water lost as steam, use distilled water. If you are
replacing treated water that ran out of the jacket, prepare more treated water as
directed in “Water Treatment Procedure,” below.
1. Allow the kettle to cool completely. The procedure will be easier with the kettle
under vacuum (pressure gauge reading below zero).
2. Allow the kettle to cool completely. Remove the pipe plug from the jacket fill
assembly. Pour in the distilled or treated water. Using a funnel will help you
in this process. Hold the pressure relief valve open while you pour, to let air
escape from the jacket. Continue adding water until the water level rises to the
center of the round sight glass.
3. Position a funnel in the opening and fill it with properly treated water.
4. Air that gets into the jacket during the filling operation must be removed,
because it will make heating less efficient. Follow the procedure in Jacket
Vacuum/Removing Air From Jacket above, to restore a negative pressure
reading.

WATER TREATMENT
1. Obtain water treatment compound and a pH test kit from your authorized parts
distributor.
2. Fill a mixing container with the measured amount of water required. (See
table). Distilled water is recommended.
Model Kettle Capacity Jacket Capacity
TDB/TDBC-20 20 qt (5 gal), 18.9 liter 7 quart, 6.6 liter
TDB/TDBC-24 24 qt (6 gal), 22.7 liter 7 quart, 6.6 liter
TDB/TDBC-40 40 qt (10 gal), 37.8 liter 9 quart, 8.5 liter
TDB/TDBC-48 48 qt (12 gal), 45.4 liter 9 quart, 8.5 liter
3. Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of the container, with about 1 inch of
the strip below the surface of the water.
4. Measure the water treatment compound (One way to do this is to add the
compound from a measuring cup.)
5.
Stir the water continuously, while you slowly add water treatment compound,
until the water reaches a pH between 10.5 and 11.5. Judge the pH by frequently
comparing the test strip color with the color chart provided in the pH test kit. If
you are color blind use an electroanalytical instrument to measure the pH level
or have a person who is not color blind read the test strip color level.
6. Record the exact amounts of water and treatment compound used. These amounts
may be used again, if the same water sources and compound are used in the future.
However, it is best to check the pH each time treated water is prepared.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help understand how the
kettle works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the power switch “ON” and
heat knob from “OFF” to a desired setting, the control relay closes. This lights up
the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to close, allowing power to
flow to heating elements.
When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches the value corresponding to
the heat setting, the control relay opens. This turns off the heating indicator light
and causes the contactors to open, stopping the power to the heaters.
As soon as the controller senses that the kettle is cooling below the set point, the
control relay closes, the heating indicator light comes on, the contactors close,
and the heaters 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.
Every time the kettle is tilted, the tilt cut-off switch interrupts the power supply to
the heaters, so that the heating elements will not operate while not submerged
in the jacket water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 psi (345 kPa, 3.45 bar) 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 power switch dial to “OFF” shuts down all control and heating circuits.
The kettle has the following safety features:
1. Low water cutoff relay that will remove power from control and contactors
until the jacket water level is corrected.
2. High limit pressure switch, set to open at about 46 psi (317 kPa, 3.17 bar)
and to shut down the heat until jacket pressure is decreased.
3. Pressure relief valve, which will release steam if jacket pressure exceeds 50 psi
(345 kPa, 3.45 bar).
4. Tilt switch, which shuts off all heat when the kettle is tilted.
