Section 3 - Operation
CE units have three lights on the Control Panel. The “POWER” light comes on when the unit is turned on. It indicates that power is being supplied to the unit. The “HEAT” light comes on when heating elements are heating the kettle. The “LOW WATER” light will come on when water level in the jacket falls below acceptable operating levels. Refer to the section on Jacket Filling and Water Treatment (Page 12).
3.1 Starting Kettle
1. EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket water level is between the marks on the gauge glass. If the level is too low, see “Jacket Filling and Water Treatment” on page 12.
2. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show 20 to 30 inches of vacuum (that is, a reading of 20 to 30 below 0), see “Jacket Vacuum” on page 12.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The heating indicator light indicates that the kettle is heating. Cycling of the light on and off shows that the kettle is being held at the set temperature. Once in each cycle the
contactors in the support housing will make a clicking sound. This is normal.
2. Product may also be transfered by means of the optional draw-off valve if the kettle is so equipped.
WARNING AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.

OM/SM-DEE (CE)
CAUTION KEEP FLOORS IN FRONT OF THE KETTLE WORK AREA CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN AT ONCE TO AVOID SLIPS OR FALLS.
3.3 Common Accessories
1. Lift-Off or Counterbalanced Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional cover can speed up the heating of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat and reduces the heat and humidity released into the kitchen. Using a cover can reduce some product cook times and help maintain the temperature, color and texture of products being held or simmered for longer periods.
Be sure the handle is secure on the lift-off cover before using. ALWAYS use the handle to place or remove cover from the kettle. Wear protective oven mitts and a protective apron.
When putting a lift-off cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle rim, with its flat edge facing the pouring lip.
CAUTION DO NOT TILT KETTLE WITH LIFT-OFF COVER IN PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE OFF, CAUSING INJURY TO OPERATOR.
2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert set can assist in cooking water-boiled products including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and rice. The nylon mesh liner must be used for products smaller than the basket mesh size, (approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and small pasta shapes.
Tips For Use.
a) Allow for displacement of the 3 baskets and
product. This may mean only filling the kettle half way. Test baskets and product displacement with the kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
CAUTION DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN COOKING,
HOLDING OR CLEANING. KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 cm) BELOW THE KETTLE RIM TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING AND SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
WARNING AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
When removing the lift-off cover:
a) Firmly grasp the handle
b) Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5
cm) to allow steam and water vapor to escape the cooking vessel. Wait 2-3 seconds.
c) Tilt cover to 45-60° angle to allow any hot
condensate or product to roll off cover back into kettle.
d) Remove cover, ensuring that any remaining hot
condensate or product does not drip on operator, floor or work surfaces.
e) Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the-way
surface, or return to kettle.
WARNING AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
b) Load baskets on a level, stable work surface.
c) Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get help
from another person if the basket is too heavy for safe handling.
d) Slowly lower product into kettle and securely hook
the basket to the “Y” frame.
e) When removing baskets with cooked product, lift
straight up, ensuring basket bottoms clear the kettle rim and pouring lip. Wear protective oven mitts and protective apron.
f) Allow hot water to fully drain from product, before
moving basket away from the kettle. Do not rest baskets on kettle rim or pouring lip. If baskets are too heavy for individual to lift and safely move, get help.

Page 10
OM/SM-DEE (CE)
Remove product immediately from basket into another container, being sure to avoid contact with hot product and hot basket or. . .
g) Place baskets with food on a stable, flat surface,
inside a solid steamer or bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water draining from product.
Section 4 - Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help the user understand how the equipment works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the operating thermostat dial from “OFF” to a desired setting, the thermostat switch closes. This lights up the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to close, allowing power to flow to heating elements.
When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches the value corresponding to the dial setting, the thermostat switch opens. This turns off the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to open, stopping the power to the heaters.
As soon as the thermostat senses that the kettle is cooling below the set point, the thermostat switch closes, the heating indicator light comes on, the contactors close, and the heaters come on again. On­off cycling continues, keeping the kettle at the set temperature.
This is why the heating indicator light cycles on and off during normal operation. Every time the kettle is tilted, the tilt cut-off switch interrupts the power supply to the heaters, so that the heating elements will not operate while not submerged in the jacket water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSIG is generated in the jacket, the safety valve will open and relieve the excess pressure.
If the jacket water level gets too low before the heating elements overheat, the high-limit control will open and shut off power to the elements until the kettle cools.
Setting the operating thermostat dial to “OFF” shuts down all control and heating circuits.

Section 5 - Maintenance
NOTICE: Contact Groen or an authorized Groen representative when repairs are required.
5.1 Periodic Maintenance
A Maintenance & Service Log is provided at the back of this manual with the warranty information. Each time maintenance is performed on your Groen kettle, enter the date on which the work was done, what was done, and who did it. Keep this manual on file and available for operators to use.
gauge glass. If the level is low, see “Jacket Filling and Water Treatment” on page 13.
c. Test the safety valve at least twice each month.
Test the valve with the kettle operating at 15 psi (105 kPa), by pulling up the test chain for at least 5 seconds. Then release the chain and let the valve snap shut. If the valve does not activate, or there is no evidence of discharge, or the valve leaks, stop using the kettle and contact a qualified Groen service representative.
The pressure gauge should show a vacuum of 20 to 30 inches when the kettle is cold.
Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of operation. The following points should be checked:
a. Check the pressure/vacuum gauge every day.
The gauge should show a vacuum of 20 to 30 inches, when the kettle is cold. If it does not, see “Jacket Vacuum” on page
13.
b. Also check the
jacket water level every day. It should be between the marks on the
Test the safety valve at least twice monthly.
d. Electrical wiring should be kept securely
connected and in good condition.
e. The inside of the support housing must be kept
clean.
WARNING WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
11
Page 12
OM/SM-DEE (CE)
5.2 Safety Valve Operating Instructions
If adding water to a boiler, DO NOT ALLOW water to flow through safety valve as sediment or debris may be deposited on seating surface.
To achieve topmost performance and maximum service life , it is necessary to maintain a proper pressure margin between set pressure of the safety valve and equipment operating pressure. The minimum required pressure margin for this type of valve is 10% of the safety relief valve set pressure, but not less than 5 PSIG. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS MARGIN BE LESS THAN 5 PSIG. Failure to maintain this operating
margin may result in water leakage past the seat and an accumulation of deposits on the seating surface. Excessive deposits may prevent the valve from operating properly, and a dangerous pressure build-up and equipment rupture may result.
5.3 Lubrication (Gears)
The gear housing has fittings for proper lubrication of moving parts. Because the gears do not run in oil, periodic lubrication with grease is necessary. Frequency of lubrication will depend on operating conditions, but it should be performed at least once every six months. It is recommended that a Number Two grade LGI lithium grease be used. 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.
5.4 Jacket Vacuum
When the kettle is cold, a positive pressure/ vacuum gauge reading or a reading near zero indicates that there is air in the jacket. Air in the jacket slows kettle heating.
a. If you are replacing water lost as steam, use
distilled water. If you are replacing treated water that ran out of the jacket, prepare more treated water as directed in step 4, “Water Treatment Procedure.”
b. Allow the kettle to cool. Turn the elbow on the
safety valve counterclockwise (to avoid thread damage) until the opening of the elbow faces upward.
c. Open the safety valve and pour the water or
treated water in at the elbow until the water level rises to a point between the marks on the gauge glass.
d. Air introduced to the jacket during filling must be
removed to obtain efficient heating. See “Jacket Vacuum” above.
CAUTION
BEFORE YOU HEAT THE KETTLE AGAIN FOR ANY PURPOSE, TURN THE ELBOW BACK CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE OPENING FACES DOWNWARD.
5.6 Water Treatment Procedure
a. Obtain water treatment compound and a pH test
kit from your authorized Groen parts distributor.
WARNING TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE LABEL OF THE WATER TREATMENT COMPOUND.
b. Fill a mixing container with the measured
amount of water required. (See table). Use distilled water only.
To remove air:
a. Start the unit.(Be sure there is water or product
in the kettle when heating).
When the pressure/vacuum gauge reaches a positive pressure reading of 5 PSI, release the trapped air and steam by pulling up or out on the safety valve lever or ring for about 1 second. Repeat this step, then let the pull ring or valve lever snap back into the closed position.
5.5 Jacket Filling and Water Treatment
The jacket was charged at the factory with the proper amount of treated distilled water. You may need to restore this water, either because it was lost as steam during venting or by draining.
Kettle Model Jacket Capacity
DEE/4-20 9.5 Liters DEE/4-40 13.2 Liters DEE/4-60 15.1 Liters
c. Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of the
container, with about 25 mm of the strip below the surface of the water.
d. Measure the water treatment compound (One
way to do this is to add the compound from a measuring cup.)
e. Stir the water continuously, while you slowly add
water treatment compound, until the water reaches a pH between 10.5 and 11.5. Judge the
12
Page 13
OM/SM-DEE (CE)
pH by frequently comparing the test strip color with the color chart provided in the pH test kit.
f. Record the exact amounts of water and
treatment compound used. These amounts may be used again, if the same water sources and compound are used in the future. However, it is best to check the pH each time treated water is prepared.
g. For optimum performance, use correctly treated,
distilled water.
5.7 Installation of Safety Valve
a. Installation must be performed by qualified
service personnel only.
b. The BTU/hr or lb/hr rating of this valve must
equal or exceed that of the equipment to which it is attached
c. DO NOT use this valve on a coal or wood boiler

7.1 Equipment Description
7.1.1 General
Groen models DEE are stainless steel, steam jacketed, floor mounted, tilting kettles with a self-contained, electric-heated steam source. The kettle body is welded into one piece and furnished with a reinforced bar rim and welded "butterfly" pouring lip. The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish, and the
exterior is given a bright semi-deluxe finish. The unit is
ASME shop inspected and registered with the National
Board for working pressures up to 50 PSI. Kettle
support, tilting mechanism, and controls are contained
in an enclosed base resting on tubular legs with
adjustable ball feet. Tilting is provided by a self-locking,
worm-and-gear device.

Section 7.2 - Operation
7.2.1 Initial Operational Readiness Check
After the DEE Kettle has been installed according to service and installation instructions, perform initial start-up as a test, to ensure that the unit is operating correctly. Refer to the pictures on this page for identification of DEE kettle controls and indicators.
a) Remove all literature and packing material from the
interior and exterior of the unit.
b) Make sure electricity supply is switched on.
c) Ensure that the kettle is filled with water.
d) Check the water level in the jacket. The level
should be between the lines on the gauge glass. If the level is low, the jacket water level will be required to be topped up. (This will require a service call).
e) Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not
show sufficient vacuum (20 to 30 below zero) then the jacket will require venting. (This will require a service call).
f) Switch the On/Off switch to the "On" position. The
"power on" neon will illuminate.
g) Turn the thermostat dial to the required setting.
The "heat" neon will illuminate.
WARNING AVOID CONTACT WITH THE FLUE. SURFACES ARE VERY HOT AND WILL CAUSE BURNS.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT FLUE OPENING.
Model Maximum Capacity DEE-20 75 Litres DEE-40 150 Litres DEE-60 225 Litres
To prevent surge boiling, no more than 80% of the maximum capacity should be used.
7.2.4 Users Thermostat
Provides automatic control of the Kettle Jacket temperature at settings up to 147/ C maximum.
7.2.5 Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help the user understand how the equipment works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning the operating thermostat dial from “OFF” to a desired setting, the thermostat switch closes. This lights up the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to close, allowing power to flow to heating elements.
When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches the value corresponding to the dial setting, the thermostat switch opens. This turns off the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to open, stopping the power to the heaters.
As soon as the thermostat senses that the kettle is cooling below the set point, the thermostat switch closes, the heating indicator light comes on, the contactors close, and the heaters come on again. On­off cycling continues, keeping the kettle at the set temperature. This is why the heating indicator light cycles on and off during normal operation. Every time the kettle is tilted, the tilt cut-off switch interrupts the power supply to the heaters, so that the heating elements will not operate while not submerged in the jacket water.
7.2.2 To Shut Down Kettle
a. Turn the thermostat dial to the "Off'' position.
b. Switch the On/Off switch to the "Off" position.
c. For a prolonged shut down, turn the electricity main
off.
Follow steps a and b.
7.2.3 Filling the Kettle
Prior to operation, thoroughly clean the kettle using hot water and detergent.
Kettle capacities:
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSIG is generated in the jacket, the safety valve will open and relieve the excess pressure.
If the jacket water level gets too low before the heating elements overheat, the high-limit control will open and shut off power to the elements until the kettle cools.
Setting the operating thermostat dial to “OFF” shuts down all control and heating circuits.
7.2.6 To Empty Kettle
7.2.6.1DEE/4 and DEE/4T Kettles
To tilt the body of the kettle forward, turn the hand crank on the front of the cabinet anti-clockwise. The body will stay in the position it holds when you stop
18
Page 19
turning the handle. To return the body to the upright position, turn the crank clockwise.
7.2.6.2DEE/4T Kettle Only
Turn the handle on the tangent draw-off valve anti­clockwise. After approximately 3-1/2 turns the valve handle can be pulled forward so that full flow is achieved. To close the tangent draw-off valve, push the handle inward until the threads on the valve stem engage. Turn the handle clockwise until the valve is closed. Do not over-tighten since over-tightening may damage the valve seat.
OM/SM-DEE (CE)
WARNING DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE KETTLE BODY WHEN TILTING IT. BE CAREFUL TO KEEP HOT CONTENTS FROM SPILLING. ENSURE PEOPLE ARE KEPT AWAY FROM THE KETTLE WHEN EMPTYING THE KETTLE.
7.2.7 Power Failure
If the power to the unit fails do not attempt to operate the appliance until the electricity supply is re­established.
When the power comes back on follow the steps in Paragraph 8.2.1 Initial Kettle Operational Readiness Check.

7.3.1 Suggested Tools:
a. Cleaner, such as Klenzade HC-10 or HC-32
from ECOLAB, Inc.
b. Kettle brushes in good condition.
c. Sanitizer such as Klenzade XY-12.
d. Film remover such as Klenzade LC-30.
7.3.2 Precautions
Before cleaning, shut off the kettle by turning the thermostat dial to “OFF,” and shut off all electric power to the unit at a remote switch, such as the circuit breaker.
7.3 - Cleaning
WARNING KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS AWAY FROM CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. NEVER SPRAY THE SUPPORT HOUSING OR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
CAUTION MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD, AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE CLEANER CAREFULLY
7.3.3 Procedure
a. Clean food-contact surfaces as soon as
possible after use, preferably while the kettle is still hot. If the unit is in continuous use, thoroughly clean and sanitize the interior and exterior at least once every 12 hours.
b. Scrape and flush out food residues. Do not
scratch the kettle with metal implements.
c. Prepare a hot solution of the detergent/ cleaning
compound as instructed by the supplier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth moistened with cleaning solution can be used to clean controls, housings, and electrical conduits.
d. Rinse the kettle and draw-off parts thoroughly
with hot water, then drain completely. Keep draw-off parts together. They are not interchangeable.
Use only a sponge, cloth or plastic brush to clean the kettle.
Scrapers or steel wool can harm the kettle surface.
e. When you reassemble the draw-off valve, hand-
tighten only.
f. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean
soiled external and internal surfaces. Remember to check the sides and bottom of the unit and control housing.
g. To remove materials stuck to the unit, use a
brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To reduce effort required in washing, let the detergent solution sit in the kettle and soak into the residue. Do NOT use abrasive materials or metal tools that might scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface harder to clean and provide places for bacteria to grow. Do NOT use steel wool, which may leave particles in the surface and cause eventual corrosion and pitting.
20
Page 21
h. The outside of the unit may be polished with a
stainless steel cleaner or hot water and detergent.
i. When equipment needs to be sanitized, use a
solution equivalent to one that supplies 200 parts per million available chlorine. Obtain advice on sanitizing agents from your supplier of sanitizing products. Following the supplier’s instructions, apply the agent after the unit has been cleaned and drained. Rinse off the sanitizer thoroughly.
OM/SM-DEE (CE)
l. If especially difficult cleaning problems persist,
contact your cleaning product representative for assistance.
7.3.4 Service-Periodic Maintenance
A Maintenance and Service Log is attached. Each time maintenance is performed on your Groen equipment, enter the date on which the work was done, what was done and who did it. File the log with the warranty. Periodic inspection can minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of operation. The following points should be checked regularly:
NOTICE NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES. LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE STAINING AND CORROSION.
j. It is recommended that each piece of equipment
be sanitized just before use.
k. If it is hard to remove mineral deposits or film
left by hard water or food residues, clean the kettle thoroughly and use a deliming agent, such as Groen Delimer/Descaler (P/N 114800) or Lime-Away from Ecolab Inc., in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse and drain the unit before further use.
The pressure/vacuum gauge should show a vacuum of 20 to 30 inches when the kettle is cold. If it does not, the unit requires servicing.
The jacket water level should be between the gauge glass marks. If it is not, the unit requires servicing.
Keep electrical wiring in good condition.
