HEATING ELEMENT
1. Access HEATING ELEMENT.
2. Measure voltage at heating element terminals
and verify it against the data plate voltage.
A. If voltage is incorrect, find the source of the
problem.
3. If voltage is correct, check current draw (amps)
through the heating element lead wires. If current
draw is correct then heating element is ok. See
table below for proper values.
NOTE: Checking current draw is the preferred
method over a resistance check when an amp clamp
meter is available.
A. If current draw is not correct then, replace
heating element.
4. Check for proper operation.

KETTLE TILT ADJUSTMENT (TILT
MODELS ONLY)
NOTE: Perform this procedure whenever the kettle is
not returning to a horizontal position when upright, or
when kettle is not tilting past 90° to empty contents.
1. With kettle fully upright, the top of kettle should
be horizontal when viewed from either side.
2. Turn crank handle clockwise to tilt the kettle until
it stops. Kettle should be tilted past 90° to allow
contents to drain.
3. If adjustment is necessary, continue with
procedure.
4. Remove CONTROL BOX COVER.
5. Return kettle to fully upright position.
A. The inner jam nut should be in solid contact
with positive stop traveller.
B. To adjust upright position (horizontal):
1) Loosen outer jam nut 2 to 3 turns
counterclockwise and turn the inner
jam nut in the same direction and
amount.
2) Turn crank handle to position the top of
kettle horizontally.
3) Turn inner jam nut clockwise until it
stops against the positive stop
traveller. Tighten outer jam nut to
secure the stop position.
C. Turn crank handle to verify operation.
Repeat adjustment as necessary.
