The KELT-40F is a steam kettle. The KELT-40F kettle has a rated capacity of 40 gallons (152 liters). The KELT-40F kettle is full jacketed. The Southbend KELT-20F, KELT-30F, KELT-40F, and KELT-60F kettles are tilting kettles. fuel type: electric. The 33 kW, three-phase electrical configuration is listed at 220 V. The 33 kW, 220 V, three-phase electrical configuration draws 86.6 amps per line. The kettle's tilt mechanism is sealed stainless steel, tilts the kettle forward a full 90° for complete emptying, and is self-locking for positive stop action. When the power switch is on and the temperature control knob is dialed, the temperature pilot light illuminates and contactors close to power the elements. Steam generation continues until the preselected temperature is reached; the cycle repeats as jacket-water temperature drops slightly, maintaining the selected cooking temperature. Temperature controls are calibrated to prevent the heating elements from generating steam pressure beyond the kettle's rated working pressure. If a temperature-control failure leaves the elements energized, the safety valve releases excess pressure and steam; a safety probe senses low jacket-water level, activates the LOW WATER indicator light, and signals the liquid-level control to switch off power until the water level is replenished.
