KDL SERIES
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 lag bolts and floor anchors (to be supplied by the installer).
KDP SERIES
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
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 removed from the base, the plate loosened, and the levelling bolts re- adjusted until a level installation is attained.
9.Slide the base collar down to the floor, and draw a line around the circumference of the pedestal at the top of the collar, using the top of the collar as a guide. Slide the collar back up the pedestal.
10.Apply a bead of silicone sealer to the circumference of the pedestal, at the line, and also to the bottom rim of the collar. Slide the collar down the pedestal and press it tightly to the floor. The silicone sealer will create a seal where the collar meets the pedestal, and where the collar meets the floor.
