The TDB and TDBC are table top, tilting, steam jacketed kettles with a thermostatically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appropriate controls,
mounted on a sturdy base. (Image at left shown with optional TS/9 stand).
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 a design pressure of 50 PSI (3.45 Bar/345 kPa). Kettle finish
is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside. A tilt handle
allows the operator to manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled manner. Pouring
height accepts pans up to four inches high on a table top.

UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS
AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED
IN THIS MANUAL.

OM-TDB/6 9
Operation
The operator controls kettle heating with the thermostat dial. The dial turns heating
element power on or off and sets the kettle operating temperature.
A. To Start Kettle
1. EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket water level is above the mid-
point of the round sight glass. If the level is too low, see “Jacket
Filling” and “Water Treatment” on page 14 & 15 of this manual.
2. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show 20 to 30
inches of vacuum (that is, a reading of 20 to 30 below 0), see “Jacket
Vacuum” on page 14 of this manual.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The kettle will then heat
to that set point temperature.
B. To Transfer Product or Empty Kettle
The kettle is designed and manufactured to be tilted in a controlled manner.
Grasp the insulated plastic ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip on handle when
tilting, while keeping kettle body in a tilted position and when SLOWLY returning
the kettle body to an upright position. DO NOT release kettle handle when kettle
is partly tilted. It will impact in either the upright or fully tilted position and may
cause burns.
C. To Shut Down Kettle
1. Turn the thermostat dial to “OFF”.
2. For prolonged shut-down, or before cleaning the outside of the unit,
shut off the power supply to the unit.
C. Common Accessories
1. Lift-Off Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional lift off cover can speed up the
heating of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat in the
cooking vessel and reduces the amount of heat and humidity released
into the kitchen. Use of a cover can reduce some product cook times
and help maintain the temperature, color and texture of products being
held or simmered for extended periods.
Make sure the plastic ball handle is secure on the lift off cover before
using. ALWAYS use the plastic handle to place or remove cover from
the kettle.
Wear protective oven mitts and a protective apron.
When putting the cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle rim,
with its flat edge facing the pouring lip.
WARNING

e. Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the-way surface,
or return to kettle rim. Cover may also be placed in the
optional holder for the cover as shown in the photograph.
2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert can assist in cooking water-boiled
products including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and
rice. The nylon mesh liner must be used when cooking product
smaller than the mesh size of the basket, which is approximately
1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and small pasta shapes. Tips for use:
a. Allow for the water displacement of the basket and product
to be cooked. This may mean only filling the kettle half full
of water. Test the basket and product displacement with the
kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
b. Load baskets on a level, stable work surface.
c. Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get help from another
person if the basket is too heavy for safe handling.
d. Slowly lower product into kettle.
e. When removing baskets with cooked product, lift straight up,
ensuring basket bottoms clear the kettle rim and pouring lip.
Wear protective oven mitts and protective apron.
f. Allow hot water to fully drain from product before moving
basket away from the kettle. Do not rest baskets on kettle
rim or pouring lip. If baskets are too heavy for individual to
lift and safely move, get help. Remove product immediately
from basket into another container, being sure to avoid
contact with hot product and hot basket or...
g. Place baskets with food on a stable, flat surface, inside a
solid steamer or bake pan,to catch any remaining hot water
draining from product.

6) DO NOT OVERFILL CONTAINER. AVOID SKIN
CONTACT WITH HOT CONTAINER AND ITS
CONTENTS.
CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE BODY WITH COVER
IN PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE OFF,
CAUSING INJURY TO OPERATOR.

OM-TDB/6 11
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 operating thermostat dial from
“OFF” 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 the
heating elements. When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches the value
corresponding to the dial setting, the thermostat switch opens. This turns off the
heating indicator light and causes the contactors to open, stopping the power to
the heaters. As soon as the thermostat senses that the kettle is cooling below the
set point, the thermostat switch 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 (3.45 Bar/345 kPa) is generated in the jacket,
the pressure relief valve will open and relieve the excess pressure.
In the event that the jacket water level gets too low and the heating elements
overheat, the high limit control will open and shut off power to the elements until the
kettle cools. Setting the operating thermostat dial to “OFF” shuts down all control and
heating circuits.

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:
1. Jacket Vacuum/Removing Air from Jacket (by Operator)
Every day, while the kettle is cold, read the pressure/ vacuum gauge. A
positive reading or a negative reading between zero and 20” vacuum on the
pressure/ vacuum gauge indicates excess air in the jacket. Air in the jacket
slows kettle heating and can prevent the kettle from reaching operating
temperature. To remove air:
To remove air:
a. Start the unit. (See “Operation” section).
b. Make sure the elbow on the outlet of the pressure relief valve is turned
so that escaping steam is directed down toward the floor. Be sure and
follow the instructions on the attached pressure relief valve tag.
c. When the pressure/vacuum gauge reaches a positive pressure reading
of 5 PSI (0.35 Bar/ 34.5 kPa), release trapped air by lifting the pressure
relief valve ring for about one second. Repeat this step, then let the
valve ring snap closed, so the valve will seat properly and not leak.
2. Pressure Relief Valve (by Operator)
At least twice a month, test the pressure relief valve. Test the valve with the
kettle operating at 15 PSI (1.1 Bar/105 kPa), 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.
3. Grease / Lubrication (by Service)
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. When finished, reassemble access panels to support
housing.
4. Jacket Filling
Every day, before you turn on the unit, make sure the water level is
approximately in the center of the water gauge glass. The jacket was filled at
the factory with the proper amount of treated water, and is airtight, but over
time steam may be vented and water lost.
From time to time, you may need to restore the water to its proper level. The
procedure for adding water follows.
WARNING

Maintenance
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW
ALL PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE
LABEL OF THE WATER TREATMENT
COMPOUND.
a. If you are replacing water lost as steam, use distilled water. Do not use
tap water. If you are replacing treated water that was drained from the
jacket, prepare more treated water as directed below.
b. 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.
c. 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.
5. Water Treatment
a. Place one quart of water in the mixing container. Distilled water is
recommended.
b. 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.
c. Stir the water continuously, while you slowly add water treatment
compound until a color between indicating a pH of 10.5 and 11.5 is
reached. (Shown on the pH test kit chart.) Judge the pH by frequently
comparing the test strip with the color chart provided in the pH test kit.
If there is a problem distinguishing color, use a pH meter.
d. Use a measuring cup to add the compound so that you may record the
exact amount used.
e. The amount 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.
The pressure relief valve and fill
plug are located directly behind the
pressure/vacuum gauge.
