Equipment Description

The Groen BPM-E is a stainless steel, electrically heated Braising Pan which is equipped with integrated heating elements, a hand operated or motor powered tilting mechanism, electrical controls and a hinged cover. The Braising Pan serves as a braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bain-marie, or food warmer and server. It can also be adapted for use as a non-pressure steamer.

The pan body is constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel, welded into a solid piece. It has a polished interior and exterior finish. A pouring lip is welded to the top of the front wall. The cooking surface is a stainless steel clad plate fitted with clamped-on electrical heating elements. The elements are positioned to ensure uniform heat transfer over the entire surface.

Models BPM and BPP are mounted on an openleg frame which is fabricated from tubular stainless steel. Models MW/BPM and MW/BPP are designed to be wall-mounted with side support arms and a back-splash. They do not have legs.

An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the pan body and provides precise control for pouring or dumping its contents.

This tilting mechanism is located in a stainless steel console to right of the pan body. For power tilt units a three position switch on the front of the control console gives the operator positive, smooth-acting control of tilt. To facilitate cleaning, the pan body can be tilted past the vertical position.

Heating elements and other electrical components are enclosed for safety. The thermostat, heating indicator light and tilting switch are contained in a compact control console which is mounted to the right of the pan body.

The thermostat provides automatic control of cooking temperature. Turning the thermostat dial starts and stops heating and sets the pan temperature. Only one electrical connection is required to install the unit.

A vented, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless steel cover with a rear condensate drip shield on the underside is standard on the Braising Pan. A fully enclosed torsion bar-type counter-balance provides easy operation to open the cover to maintain it open at any position. The cover opens to the back. It is hinged to the frame, so it moves independently from the pan body.

The following sizes and options are available:

Installation

WARNING

INSTALLATION OF THE BRAISING PAN MUST BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR GROEN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE QUALIFIED TO WORK WIT H EL ECT RICIT Y . IM PROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL AN/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied complete. When you receive the unit, it is ready for connection. A wiring diagram is located inside the control box on the right side of the pan, as well as in this manual (pp. 28-33).

Your pan was performance-tested at the factory to confirm that all controls and heating elements were functioning correctly.

Installation is as follows:

1.Set the unit in place and level it by turning the adjustable feet. Crank the pan body to a completely horizontal position. Check levelness by placing a spirit level on the bottom of the pan. The unit must be level to avoid uneven cooking across the pan.

2.Make a waterproof connection with the incoming power line at the electrical service entrance at the bottom of the connection box at rear of control console. A BX connection is NOT recommended.

ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT at the proper terminal.

3.Provide the proper electrical supply as specified on the electrical information plate. Comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7- latest edition.

4.Use only copper wire, rated at least 75ºC and of proper gage. See chart on page 8.

5.Standard equipment is shipped ready for 208V, 240V, or 480V, 3-phase operation. Refer to the wiring diagram located on the inside cover of the control box and the instructions below for conversion to single-phase operation.

A jumper wire and “conversion” label are included with the unit. They can be found in a plastic bag attached to the trunnion assembly inside the control box.

CAUTION

BEFORE ANY ELECTRICAL CONVERSION, VERIFY THAT THE BRANCH CIRCUIT WIRING IS ADEQUATE TO HANDLE ANY INCREASE IN AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS. R E F E R T O T H E E L E C T R I C A L SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BELOW.

6.For conversion from 3-phase to 1-phase

i.Verify that the branch circuit wiring is adequate for any increased amperage requirements. (See table on next page)

ii.1-phase requires two jumper wires. One jumper wire exists on the terminal block for 3- phase input. The second jumper wire is located in a plastic bag inside the control box.

Initial Start-Up

Now that the Braising Pan has been installed, you should test it to ensure that the unit is operating correctly.

1.Remove all literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of the unit.

2.Turn on the electrical power to the unit.

3.Put enough water into the pan to cover its bottom to a depth of ¼” to ½” (6 to 13 mm). With the pan body in the horizontal position, note how the water covers the pan bottom. This is a good method to use for confirming that the unit is properly leveled.

4.Set the thermostat to 235o F. The heating indicator light should come on to show that the pan is heating. Heating should continue until the water boils.

5.To shut the unit down, turn the thermostat dial to “OFF.”

WARNING

WATER IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT WATER WHEN EMPTYING UNIT.

6.Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to pour out the water and to confirm that the pan body can be tilted smoothly from horizontal to vertical. For BPP models, push the UP/DOWN switch to confirm operation of tilting system.

If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact your local Groen Authorized Service Agency.

Operation

IMPORTANT:

BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS, AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.

A. Controls

Operator controls for the Braising Pans are:

1.Power ON Switch and Power ON indicator located on the control console.

2.The thermostat dial, located on the control console to the right of the pan body. This dial is used to turn the thermostat on or off and to set the thermostat for pan temperatures between 175° and 400°.

3.Heating indicator light located on the control console, lights when the burners have ignited.

4.A handwheel controls the worm and gear mechanism that smoothly tilts the pan body and holds it in the desired position.

5.For BPM-30E and BPM-40E models a power tilt switch is located on the control panel. It is used to raise and lower the pan body.

CAUTION

KEEP FLOORS IN BRAISING PAN WORK AREA CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.

B. Operating Procedure

1. To Tilt Pan Body

a. Manual Tilt Model - Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to tilt the pan body, or counterclockwise to return the pan body to horizontal. 23 complete turns of the hand-wheel will tilt the body 90 degrees to vertical.

b.Power Tilt Model -

(1)Press the power tilt switch marked “up” to raise the pan or “down” to lower the pan.

(2)The spring loaded switch will return to the OFF (middle) position when you release it.

(3)If the power tilt mechanism stops working (see the Troubleshooting section) and you must raise or lower the pan body without delay, you can tilt the body by hand. Remove the small plug on top of the control box and fit the provided tool into the hole. Turn the tool clockwise to lower it. It may take several minutes to move the pan to the desired position, but the operation can be speeded up by substituting a reversible drill with a ¼ inch hexagonal driver bit in place of the tool.

CAUTION

REPLACE THE HOLE PLUG BEFORE CLEANING OTHERWISE WATER COULD ENTER THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX AND DAMAGE THE PARTS.

OM-BPM-E

CAUTION

DO NOT OVERFILL THE BRAISING PAN WHEN COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 cm) BELOW THE PAN BODY RIM TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING PRODUCT AND SAFE TRANSFER.

WARNING

WHEN TILTING PAN BODY FOR PRODUCT TRANSFER:

1)WEAR PROTECTIVE OVEN MITT AND PROTECTIVE APRON.1

2)USE DEEP CONTAINER TO CONTAIN AND MINIMIZE PRODUCT SPLASHING.

3)PLACE CONTAINER ON STABLE, FLAT SURFACE, AS CLOSE TO KETTLE AS POSSIBLE.

4)STAND TO LEFT OR RIGHT OF PAN BODY WHILE POURING - NOT DIRECTLY IN POUR PATH OF HOT CONTENTS.

5)POUR SLOWLY, MAINTAIN CONTROL OF PAN BODY HANDLE AT ALL TIMES, AND RETURN PAN BODY TO UPRIGHT POSITION AFTER CONTAINER IS FILLED OR TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.

6)DO NOT OVERFILL CONTAINER. AVOID DIRECT SKIN CONTACT WITH HOT CONTAINER AND ITS CONTENTS.

CAUTION

KEEP FLOORS IN FRONT OF THE KETTLE WORK AREA CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN AT ONCE TO AVOID SLIPS OR FALLS.

2.Set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature between 100 and 400o F. The Heat Indicator Light shows that the pan is heating. When the light cycles on and off, it indicates that the pan is holding at the set temperature. During these cycles you may hear the contactors in the control box make a clicking sound. This is normal.

3.For best results when braising or frying, preheat the pan before putting in any food. For an even temperature across the pan, preheat at a setting of 300o F or less for 15 minutes, or through several on/off cycles of the thermostat.

WARNING

DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES AT SETTINGS ABOVE 300oF. DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD RESULT.

C.Cooking

1.To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the dial at about 210o F or lower. Put the cover down to keep moisture loss at a minimum, or leave it up to help dry or reduce the product. Set the thermostat higher to cook or drive moisture off faster. The thermostat may be adjusted to any setting in its range to cook exactly as you wish.

2.Leave the cover vent open to allow excess steam to escape. For longer simmering, you

may wish to close the vent to retain moisture.

WARNING

AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM ESCAPING FROM THE COVER VENT. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS

3.To check cooking progress when the cover has been closed, grasp the plastic handle of vent cover and lift it slightly while moving it quickly to either side. Standing at one side of the pan to avoid the steam that will be released, grasp the nearest corner of the cover handle and raise the cover. The cover will stay in the open position until you put it down.

OM-BPM-E

4.To pour or dump product, remove grease, or assist cleaning, first raise the cover, then tilt the pan up and forward by turning the handwheel clockwise. Whenever you stop turning the wheel, the pan body will hold its position.

WARNING

AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT EQUIPMENT SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.

AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE BRAISING PAN. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.

WARNING

IF THE PAN CONTAINS ITEMS IN SAUCE OR MELTED FAT, THEY COULD SLIDE FORWARD SUDDENLY DURING TILTING AND CAUSE THE HOT LIQUID TO SPLASH OUT.

5.To return the pan to the horizontal position, turn the wheel counter-clockwise.

6.To turn the pan off, turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position.

D.Routine Clean Up

After each use, turn the thermostat to “OFF” and clean all food contact surfaces to ensure proper sanitation. At the end of the day, or at least once every 24 hours, turn off the heat and shut off electric power to the unit and clean both the interior and exterior of the pan. See Page 13 for more detailed cleaning instructions.

Sequence of Operation

The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help you understand how the braising pan actually functions.

When you start up the pan by turning the thermostat from “OFF” to a desired temperature, the thermostat switch closes. This causes the contactors to close, and allows power to flow to the heating elements and the indicator light.

When the pan temperature reaches the value set on the thermostat dial, the thermostat switch opens and causes the contactors to open. This stops the flow of power to the heating elements and the indicator light.

As soon as the thermostat senses that the pan is cooling below the set temperature, the thermostat closes, the contactors close, and the heaters and indicator light come on again.

This on and off cycle continues, maintaining the pan at the set temperature. This is why the indicator light on and off cycling is seen during normal operation.

If the pan temperature exceeds 425° F for any reason, a high-limit thermostat shuts off the power until the pan cools. At that point, the thermostat automatically resets to permit normal operation to

start again.

Turning the thermostat to “OFF” shuts down all control and heating circuits.

The thermostat controls heating by alternating between feeding full power and completely cutting power off. The pan heats as fast as it can until it reaches the set temperature, no matter what that temperature is. Turning the thermostat to a higher setting will cause heating to continue longer, until the pan reaches a higher temperature, but it cannot make the pan heat any faster.

Manual tilt models, turning the hand wheel rotates a worm, which turns a gear wheel on one of the trunnions supporting the pan body. Turning the gear produces the tilting action.

Power tilt models, pushing the up/down switch operates a gear motor which turns worm and gear wheel as described above.

For all braising pans, the power to the heaters is cut off when the pan is tilted past a slight inclination of 10° degrees. It is acceptable to cook with the pan tilted forward at a small angle (about 5 - 7 degrees) to let liquids collect to front of pan or allow them to drain out of the draw off valve.
