SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
This service and parts manual contains general information, operation, and maintenance information for Market Forge
modular kettles. A parts list is included in which each replaceable part is identified and shown in an accompanying
drawing. Accessories for use with the kettles are also described.
1.1 DESCRIPTION
Market Forge Kettles include both stationary and tilting
steam jacketed kettles of five capacities, each mounted
in a modular stainless steel cabinet.
Double wall construction around the lower half of the
kettle forms a surrounding chamber into which steam is
introduced as a source of heat for cooking.
Steam input plumbing is equipped with a manual control
valve. Condensate is removed through a steam trap
connecting with the kettle drain plumbing assembly. A
swivel spout, hot-cold combination faucet provides a
source of water for addition to the kettle for cooking and
cleaning.
An optional 12" spacer unit with faucet and sink may be
used instead of the standard built-in faucet.
1.1.1 5 Gallon Tilting Kettle
The 5-gallon 191itre capacity kettle is mounted in a
trunnion assembly to the modular cabinet top. The
trunnion pivots include steam input and return
connections for the kettle.
A sink equipped with re- versible splash shield is built into
the cabinet top under the kettle pouring spout. Kettle
tilting is accomplished manually by moving a handle fixed
to the rim so as to rotate the kettle in a trunnion mount.
