Equipment Description

Groen gas-heated Eclipse Ergonomic Tilting Braising Pans provide a stainless steel
pan equipped with patented heat transfer fins, burner/combustion chamber, hand­operated or electric powered tilting mechanism, thermostatic controls, and hinged
cover. The appliance serves as braising pan, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bainmarie
and food warmer/server, can be adapted for use as a non-pressure steamer and can
be used to stir-fry, reheat and saute foods.

The pan body is made from heavy-duty stainless steel welded into one solid piece,
with a polished interior and exterior. A pouring lip is welded to the front wall. The
cooking surface is a stainless steel clad plate fitted with welded heat transfer
fins which assure uniform heat transfer over the entire surface. The gas burner/
combustion chamber supplies the heat.

An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the pan and provides precise
control for pouring or dumping the contents of the pan. This hand-wheel controlled
mechanism is located in a stainless steel console to the right of the pan body. For
models with electric power tilt, a switch operates an electric motor that starts and
stops the pan tilt smoothly. To assist cleaning, the pan body can be tilted past the
vertical position. When the pan is tilted, the burners shut off automatically.

The thermostat provides automatic control of cooking temperature. Operating the
thermostat dial on the front of the control console turns the heat on or off and sets the
pan temperature.

Servicing & Conversion

1. Servicing
IMPORTANT: BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY SERVICING, ENSURE THAT THE GAS

ISOLATING COCK IS TURNED OFF AND CANNOT BE INADVERTENTLY TURNED ON.
ENSURE ALSO THAT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IS DISCONNECTED. AFTER ANY
SERVICING OR EXCHANGE OF GAS CARRYING COMPONENTS — ALWAYS CHECK
FOR GAS SOUNDNESS!

Notes:

1. When replacing wiring connections refer to the wiring diagram in the unit
or this manual.

2. When any threaded gas connection is disturbed for any reason, the
threads must be resealed with appropriate gas leak prevention sealant
that is suitable for the type of gas. Unified Brands/ Groen recommends gas
sealant compound such as Locktite® 243 or Unified Brands part number

122002.

A. After Servicing

a) Test for gas soundness as specified in IGE/UP1.
b) If leaks are found, disconnect the mating parts, clean the threads

and apply recommended sealant as specified above in Note 2. as
appropriate after any gas connection has been disturbed.

c) Check for correct operation as appropriate (see Installation,

Paragraph 5).

B. Regular Servicing Procedures

The following must be checked at regular intervals:
a) Burners Clean the burners periodically to maintain maximum

performance. Burners are best cleaned with a stiff bristle brush, or if
necessary with a wire brush. Take care not to damage the burner.

Clean the injector orifice with a wooden splinter or toothpick. Avoid

metal reamers, which may distort or increase the orifice size.
WARNING - Do not leave any wood splinter or bristles from brush in
the burner or injector. Fire could result.

b) Gears and Bearings: The gear housing has been fitted for proper

lubrication of moving parts. Since the gears do not run in oil, periodic
lubrication with grease is essential. Frequency of lubrication depends
on operating conditions, but should occur at least once every six
months. Groen recommends the use of a Number Two grade LGI
lithium grease. Add grease through the Zerk fittings on the gear
housing until grease flows out of the bearings around the trunnion
shaft. Place a liberal amount of grease on the gear to cover the arc
that is in contact with the worm gear.

3. Filling the Braising Pan

Using hot water and detergent, clean out the pan thoroughly prior to operation.

The pan should not be overfilled, and an allowance should always be made
for expansion and foaming of the food being cooked. The maximum fill level is
marked on the inner pan wall (See Fig. 14)
A. Do not leave the braising pan unattended when heating.
B. For shallow-frying, the depth of oil in the pan must never exceed the

maximum oil level mark on the inner pan wall. Avoid overheating the oil; do
not leave the braising pan unattended during use; and exercise care when
adding replenishment oil to a hot braising pan. Failure to observe care with
hot oil poses a serious risk of fire and personnel hazard.

4. Users’ Thermostat

Provides automatic control of the braising pan temperature at selected

temperatures up to a maximum of 190ºC.

5. Sequence of Operation

The following “sequence of operation” is provided to help the user understand

how the unit functions.
A. Switching the On/Off switch to the On position to start the appliance

causes the power lamp (green) to illuminate.
B. Turning the thermostat sends a signal to the ignition module.
C. The ignition module opens the pilot control valve which allows gas to go to

the pilot burner. It simultaneously starts a sparking sequence at the pilot.
D. The spark ignites the main pilot burner. Once this occurs, the sensing probe

detects the flame. This confirms that lighting has been successful.
E. After a short period of time the main control valve opens to full flow and

lights the burners.
F. The sparking/ignition sequence shuts off, and the “Heat” lamp (amber)

illuminates.
G. If, however, a pilot flame is not detected within 55 seconds, the ignition

module goes into lockout mode.
H. To restart the ignition sequence the ON/OFF switch must be set to OFF and

then back to ON.

User Instructions

WARNING

HI LIMIT RESET SHOULD BE USED

SPARINGLY TO COMPLETE AN ONGOING

COOKING OPERATION. IT INDICATES
THAT UNIT NEEDS SERVICING. CALL

YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE AGENCY TO

COMPLETE THE REPAIRS AND DO NOT USE

THE UNIT AFTER COMPLETING ONGOING

OPERATION. CONTINUED USE COULD RESULT

IN DANGEROUS CONDITION SUCH AS FIRE.

WARNING

DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE PAN WHEN

CONTENTS FROM SPILLING. KEEP PEOPLE

AWAY FROM POURING LIP AREA WHEN

EMPTYING THE PAN.

CAUTION

DO NOT EMPTY HOT OIL FROM A BRAISING

PAN. ALLOW OIL TO COOL COMPLETELY,

BEFORE TILTING OR EMPTYING PAN.

I. In addition to the gas lockout, other safety features include:

a) A high limit safety thermostat which cuts off the gas supply should

the operating thermostat fail (i.e., should the temperature exceed
operating limits).

b) A tilt switch which automatically cuts off the gas supply when the unit

is tilted when in operation.

J. When the pan reaches a set temperature, the thermostat switch opens.

This halts the signal to the gas control valve and causes the valve to shut
off the flow of gas.

K. When the pan cools below its set temperature, the thermostat switch

closes and starts another heating cycle. This on-off cycling continues,
keeping the pan at the desired temperature.

L. Should the main control thermostat fail and cause the hi-limit thermostat

to trip, the unit will stop heating. To reset the high limit control, depress the
red reset switch located on rear of unit under the gas piping. (See. Fig. 15)

6. To Empty the Pan
Turn the hand crank on the front of the cabinet clockwise to tilt the pan body

forward. The pan will stay in position when you stop turning the handle. To return
it to the upright position, turn the crank anti-clockwise. If the pan was used for
shallow frying, let the hot oil cool completely before tilting or emptying the pan
for cleaning.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE
SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND

CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE

TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES,

GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ

THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE
DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE
CLEANER TO BE USED. DO NOT USE

FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS OR CLEANING AIDS

ON THE SURFACES OF THE BRAISING PAN.

WARNING

DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY ON BURNERS

AND GAS COMBUSTION CHAMBERS.

NOTICE

NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN

CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL

SURFACES LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.

LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE CORROSION.

1. Before any cleaning operation, shut off the burner by turning the thermostat dial
to “0”. If water or cleaning solution will be sprayed, unplug the unit from the
electric power source, or shut off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse panel.

2. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after use, before the pan has cooled
completely. If the unit is in continuous use, thoroughly clean and sanitize both
interior and exterior at least once every 12 hours.

3. Scrape or rinse out large amounts of food residues, then wash the inside of the
pan body with a mixture of hot water and soap or an appropriate detergent, such
as Mikro-Quat from ECOLAB. Follow the detergent supplier’s recommendations
on strength of the solution to use. Rinse the pan thoroughly with hot water and
drain completely.

4. To remove materials stuck to the equipment, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic
or rubber scraper, or plastic wool along with the detergent or soap solution.
To minimize the effort required in washing, let the detergent solution sit in the
pan and soak into the residue, or heat the detergent solution briefly in the pan.
Do NOT use any abrasive materials or metal implement that might scratch the
surface, because scratches make the pan hard to clean and provide places for
bacteria to grow. Do NOT use steel wool, which may leave particles imbedded in
the pan surface and cause eventual corrosion and pitting. Do NOT use flammable
solvents or cleaning aids to clean the braising pan.

5. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean all external and internal surfaces
that may have been soiled. Remember to check such parts as the underside of
the cover, control console, etc.

6. Controls and the control console may be cleaned with a damp cloth or sprayed
with a garden hose spray connected to city water supply. Do not use a pressure
sprayer directly on the unit or electrical parts.

Use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or

rubber scraper, or plastic wool to clean.

Don’t use metal implements or steel wool.

Do not spray water directly on burners

and gas combustion chambers.

22 OM-BPM-G

7. The exterior surface of the unit may be polished with a recognized stainless steel
cleaner.

8. If the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution equivalent to
one that supplies 100 parts per million available chlorine. Obtain advice on the
best sanitizing agent from your supplier of sanitizing products. Following the
supplier’s instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after the unit has been cleaned
and drained. Rinse off the sanitizer thoroughly.

9. If there is difficulty removing mineral deposits or a film left by hard water or
food residues, clean the pan thoroughly and then use a deliming agent, such as
Groen De-limer/De-Scaler (P/N 140513), in accordance with the manufacturer’s
directions. Rinse and drain the unit before further use.

10. If especially difficult cleaning problems persist, contact your cleaning product
representative for assistance.

NEVER USE NAKED FLAME TO SEARCH FOR GAS LEAKS.

Maintenance

WARNING

ELECTRIC POWER ALWAYS SHOULD BE

SHUT OFF BEFORE WORK IS DONE ON

INTERNAL COMPONENTS.

WARNING

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER FROM

THE UNIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO GREASE

THE TRUNNION BEARINGS.

Your braising pan is designed to require minimum maintenance, but certain parts
may need replacement after prolonged use. After installation, no user adjustment
should be necessary. If a service need arises, only authorized personnel should
perform the work.

Service personnel should check the unit at least once a year. This periodic main­tenance should include inspecting electrical wires and connections, cleaning the
inside of the control console, and possible adjustment of the pilot light. (Units with
standing pilot ignition only) At least twice a year, grease the two trunnion bearings
and worm gear.

We recommend the use of number two grade LGI lithium grease. Add grease through
the zerk fittings on the gear hosing until grease flows out of the bearings around trun­nion shaft. Also, add grease in the gear to cover arc that is in contact with the worm
gear. Clean up excess grease.

A Service Log is provided with the warranty information at the back of this manual.
Each time service is performed on your equipment, enter the date on which the work
was done, what was done, and who did it. Keep the manual with the equipment for
quick and easy reference.
