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 nish. A pouring lip
is welded to the top of the front wall. The cooking
surface is a stainless steel clad plate tted with
clamped-on electrical heating elements. The
elements are positioned to ensure uniform heat
transfer over the entire surface.
Model BPM is mounted on an open-legframe
whichisfabricated from tubularstainless steel.
Aneasilyoperated worm andgear mechanismtilts
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. To facilitate
cleaning, the pan body can be tilted past the vertical
position.
Heatingelements and other electricalcomponents
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.

your unit, and keep this information for future
reference. Space for these entries is provided at
the top of the Service Log in this manual. Cut the
straps holding the unit on the skid, and lift the unit
straight up o the skid.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION
AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.

1. Installation
WARNING
THE BRAISING PAN MUST BE INSTALLED BY
PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO WORK
WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied complete.
When you receive the unit, it is ready for connection. A
wiring schematic is located inside the control box on the
right side of the pan, and in this manual.
Your pan was performance tested at the factory to
conrm that all controls and heating elements were
functioning correctly.
IMPORTANT
These appliances must be installed by a competent
person in conformity with the installation and servicing
instructions and national regulations in force at the
time. Particularattention must be paid to the following:
I.E.E. Regulations and Electrical Installations

Fire Precautions Act
Local and National Building Regulations
1.1 Installation is as follows:
Provide the proper electrical supply as
specied on the electrical information plate.
Comply with local codes and the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest
edition.
Use appropriate sized copper wire,
rated at least 90ºC (194ºF).
Units are wired at the factory for three
phase or single phase (per order) operation
and should be connected as shown
(See Fig. 1):
TERMINAL BLOCK
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.
Make a water tight connection with the
incoming power line at the electrical service
entrance at the back of the control box. A BX
connection is NOT recommended. ELECTRICALLY
GROUND THE UNIT at the proper terminal.
WARNING
ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE BRAISING PAN

2. Assembly and Commissioning
2.1 Electrical Supply
Before commissioning the appliance, ensure that the
electrical installation has been performed in compliance
with relevant regulations. See Paragraph 1.1.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
2.2 Pre-Commissioning Check
a) Remove literature and packing materials from the
interior and exterior of the unit.
b) Put enough water into the pan to cover the bottom
to a depth of six to 12 mm. With the pan body in
the horizontal position, note how the water lies in
the pan, to conrm that the pan was leveled
properly during installation.
2.3 Operating the Braising Pan
2.3.1 Heating Sequence
a) Put water in the pan (6 to 12 mm deep).
b) Check that electricity main is “ON”.
c) Turn the toggle switch (Electrical Cabinet) to the
“ON” position. The red power neon will illuminate.
d) Turn the thermostat to the desired setting.
e) Observe that the elements are “ON” by the lighting
of the amber heat neon.
f) To switch “OFF” the unit, put the toggle switch in
the “OFF” position.
2.3.2 Checking Performance of Controls
a) Heat the unit as described in Paragraph 2.3.1,
above. Check that the amber heat neon is
glowing.
b) Turn the thermostat “OFF” and then “ON”. Check
that the amber heat light goes out when the
thermostat is turned o, and that it comes on when
it is switched back on. Repeat 2 - 3 times.
c) Remove all water from the pan and thoroughly dry
the pan.
d) Fill the pan with unused oil up to the mark in the
pan. Oil level must not exceed 50mm (2").
WARNING
DO NOT OVERFILL WITH OIL
OR FIRE MAY RESULT!
e) Set the thermostat knob at “10" and allow the oil to
heat up. Immerse a thermometer or thermocouple
25 mm below the oil surface at the center of the
pan. Check that the temperature stabilizes at
190ºC, (± 5ºC).
CAUTION
THE TEMPERATURE MUST NOT
EXCEED 200ºC
OR THE HIGH LIMIT THERMOSTAT WILL TRIP.
f) If the unit fails to operate as described, the unit
should be serviced by an Authorized Service
Representative.
2.4 Instructions to Installer
IMPORTANT: After installing and commissioning
the appliance, the User’s Instructions should be
handed to the user or purchaser. Ensure that the
instructions for heating, turning off, correct use
and cleaning are properly understood.

3.1 Servicing
Note: When replacing wiring connections refer to
the wiring schematic in the unit or this
manual.
3.1.1 After Servicing
Check for correct operation as appropriate (see 2.3).
3.1.2 Regular Servicing Procedures
The gears must be checked at regular intervals.
The gear housing has been tted 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.
3. Service
WARNING
ELECTRICAL POWER MUST BE SHUT OFF
BEFORE WORK IS DONE ON INTERNAL
COMPONENTS
Groen recommends the use of a Number Two grade
LGI lithium grease. Add grease through the Zerk
ttings on the gear housing until grease ows 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 (See Fig. 1).
