Description
Southbend Steam model MT-25EO-SB (25-gallon) and MT-40EO-SB (40-gallon) are self-contained tilting electric
steam jacketed kettles. Each kettle has a jacket of double-wall con- struction forming a sealed reservoir around the
lower two-thirds of the kettle.
The stainless steel kettle is enclosed in a cabinet base containing a 24 kW electrically powered boiler for kettle operation.
Basic Functioning
The kettle becomes operational when the power switch is placed in the ON position. At this point, the boiler reservoir
begins to ll with water automatically until the water level reaches a factory preset, high water level. At the high water
level, incoming water ow is shut o.
Once the water level is suciently above the heating elements, the heater rest switch is momentarily placed in the ON
position. The action releases closing contactors to heating elements.
After steam pressure builds up to proper operating pressure, the steam control valve on the cabinet top can then be
manually operated. This open valve allows steam to ow into the kettle jacket, heating both the kettle and contents. As
water level drops due to steam conversion, the automatic water level control system opens and closes the incoming water
valve to maintain constant water level. If the level control system fails, and automatic low water cut o switch turns o
power to heating elements.
Service
Required service, both repair, replacement, and adjustment is explained in Adjustments section of this manual. Other
service help can be found in the Trouble Shooting and Maintenance sections of this manual. Should repairs be required,
a network of Authorized Service Agents is available to assist with prompt service. A current list of Authorized Service
Agencies may be obtained by contacting Southbend Steam direct of going on our website http://www. mi.com.
The model and serial number must be referenced when corresponding with Southbend Steam. These numbers can be
found on the data plate located on the upright frame behind the cabinet base door. If you require further assistance in
obtaining these numbers, please contact us directly.

Cooking Facts for Steam Jacketed Kettles
A Steam Jacketed Kettle is a stainless steel kettle jacketed or encapsulated by a second outer kettle, creating a space
between the two kettles. Cooking is achieved by allowing steam to ow within this space. The jacket or outer kettle usually
covers 2/3 of the inner kettle, although some kettles are fully jacketed
The steam owing in the space between the kettles con- denses on the cold inner kettle wall and releases heat through
the wall to the food in the kettle. The condensate drains to the bottom of the kettle and is released through a steam trap
without any loss or variation in steam pressure. The amount of steam allowed to ow Into the Jacket controls the heat of
the kettle. In use, the Steam Jacketed Kettle provides consistent heat distribution and is energy ecient using steam only
to maintain pressure, unlike top of the range cooking in which energy (gas or electricity) is used during the entire cooking
process.
Steam Jacketed Kettles can sauté, simmer, or boil a wide variety of products, such as soups, gravies, sauces, pasta,
stews, mixed casserole type dishes, vegetables, shellsh, cereals, hot beverages, and puddings. A Steam Jacketed
Kettle will not burn foods. However, foods that caramelize at relatively low temperatures, such as eggs and milk based
products, will coat and cook onto the sides of the kettle. Care should be taken to use the smallest ow of steam, to lessen
the possibility of scorching these products. To achieve this, allow products to come up to desired temperature, stirring
frequently, then turn o steam ow and gradually turn on a small ow of steam - just enough to allow food to cook.
Steam Jacketed Kettles eliminate much range top cooking and greatly reduce the number of pots and pans re- quired.
Because they are made of stainless steel, they are durable, non-porous and easy to clean.
• Estimate actual cooking capacity of Steam Jacketed Kettles at 3/4 of its volume, to allow stirring without spillage.
• Plan an adequate drain arrangement. This is very important for ease of use and to minimize wet oors. A grated gutter
type drain located in front of the kettles is preferred as it eliminates the hazards of tripping over a curb or stumbling
into a recessed drain area.
• Locate a source of water (swivel faucet or exible hose type) near the kettle to facilitate lling and cleaning.
• Cover products whenever possible to save energy. Covered water boils 25 to 30% faster.
• Use the tangent draw o valve to drain o products from the kettle such as sauces and puddings, or cooking liquids
that are being discarded (as in the case of the water used to cook pasta)
• Remove the tangent draw o valve after each use for cleaning, using a brush to clean draw o as bacteria will readily
multiply in this area if it is not thoroughly cleaned.
• Use the optional solid kettle disk when product is not going to be dispensed through the draw o valve, and the
perforated disk when draining o liquids through the draw o valve and retaining the solid product in the kettle.

Application Instructions for Total Concept Descaler
Southbend Steam has two basic types of boilers; one has an automatic drain valve, the other has a manual drain valve. To
determine which type you have, open cabinet doors and you will see a control box with two switches and an indicator light.
The instruction label on the control box will identify the boiler as being either automatic or manual. Those boilers
designated as being automatic must be energized in order to close the drain valve.
Total Concept is designed to be used with water between 160°F to 200°F.
Preheating is required on both automatic and manual boilers to raise the water temperature to the acceptable range
(160 °F to 200 °F)
For manual boilers, make certain drain valve is tightly closed.
Application Directions
1. Energize boiler and ll to operating level.
2. Energize heating circuit to preheat unit.
MANUAL: After unit is preheated, place the power switch in the OFF position.
DO NOT DRAIN THE UNIT.
AUTOMATIC: After unit is preheated, cycle the power switch from the ON position to the OFF position and
immediately back to the ON position.
3. Remove the shipping cap, replace it with the pouring cap. Cut the tip of the pouring cap at the rst notch to a 45° angle.
4. Install the tubing rmly over the tip of the pouring cap.
5. Cycle steam to kettle jacket. This releases steam pressure to “0” PSI in boiler, prior to step #7.
6. Disconnect terminals to forward probe. Remove the forward probe from the top or in front of the boiler shell. This
orice becomes the access port to the boiler chamber.
Maintenance
CAUTION
BOILER SHELL AND PROBE ARE HOT.
7. Feed the tubing through the access port into the boiler compartment.
NOTICE
A minimum of 4 inches must be inserted into the boiler.
8. Tilt the container, pour the contents into the unit.
9. When empty, rell the container with hot tap water and add to boiler for cleaning. Replace the probe in access port
and tighten. Reconnect terminals by re- versing removal procedure.
10. After rinsing the container, place the tubing inside the bottle, cover with the shipping cap, dispose of properly. DO NOT
RE-USE CONTAINER.
11. DO NOT ENERGIZE HEATERS - Allow 2 hours for cleaning.
12. After time has elapsed, drain the boiler.
13. Rell the boiler and drain. Repeat this step twice.
14. Bring the boiler to temperature and cycle steam to the kettle to purge cleaner/descaler from the steam supply lines.
