INSTALLATION
GENERAL
Installation of the kettle must be accomplished by qualified electrical installation personnel
working to all applicable local and national codes. Improper installation of product could cause
injury or damage.
INSTALLATION
The first installation step is to refer to the Specification Sheet for detailed clearance and bolting
requirements. Next, carefully cut open and remove the shipping carton. Remove all supports and
fasteners holding unit to the skid.

Position the kettle in its permanent location, and level the kettle by turning the adjustable flanged
feet. Once positioned and levelled, permanently secure the kettle's flanged feet to the floor using
5/16" lag bolts and floor anchors (to be supplied by the installer). There are three bolts required to
secure each of the flanged feet.

1.
Position the kettle in its permanent location, and mark the floor around the circumference
of the base collar or the base plate. Locate the centre of this circle and mark the floor at
this centre point. This is the point at which the kettle's base plate will be secured to the
floor.
2.
Lay kettle on its side (on a cushioned surface to prevent scratching), and slide the base
collar up the pedestal, exposing the plate for removal.
3.
Remove the four cap screws securing the base plate and slide it off the kettle.
4.
Prepare the floor location, for mounting the kettle, by installing a 3/4" (19mm) stud, cast
into the floor, at the base plate's centre point. Note: a 3/4" (19mm) lag bolt and floor
anchor may be substituted for a cast-in stud. The anchor is installed in the floor, and the
lag bolt is threaded down through the base plate, into the anchor, after completion of
step 6.
5.
Thread the four 3/8" (10mm) levelling bolts into plate from the top, and insert the plate
over stud.
6.
Adjust bolts until the plate is level.
7.
Install a nut on the 3/4" (19mm) bolt (or insert a lag bolt if the alternate fastener method is
used) and secure base plate to the floor.
8.
Check for level "set" of the kettle by placing the kettle on the base plate with the screw
holes aligned and applying a carpenter's level at the kettle rim. If the kettle is level, it may
be fastened in place with the four cap screws. If the kettle is not level, the kettle must be
