Equipment Description
The Groen DEES is a floor-mounted, tilting,
steam jacketed kettle with a thermostatically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated
steam supply and appropriate controls, mounted
on a sturdy base.
The body of the DEES Kettle is constructed of
stainless steel, welded into one solid piece. The
kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a
butterfly shaped pouring lip. It has a steam jacket
rated for working pressures up to 50 PSI. Kettle
finish is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright
semi-deluxe on the outside.
The kettle can be tilted with a hand crank to pour
out its contents. Stainless steel panels enclose
the controls and the base. Four stainless steel,
tubular legs support the unit. Bullet feet on each
of the legs can be adjusted to level the kettle.
DEES/T units include a two inch tangent draw off
valve.
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle
capacity and heated by electricity, delivers steam
into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam
jacket permits uniform, efficient heating at
temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as
298°F. In addition to the adjustable thermostat
for operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off
switch, low water cut-off, safety valve, and highlimit pressure switch as safety features. A
heating indicator light, pressure gauge, and sight
glass are provided for monitoring kettle
operation.
A single electrical connection is required for
installation. The unit may be ordered for use with
208/240, 400 or 480 volt power. All kettles are
wired for three-phase operation. Single-phase
units are also available.

Installation
The Groen Kettle is provided with complete
internal wiring and is ready for immediate
connection. Wiring diagrams are provided in this
manual and on the inside of the control housing
service panel. Any mechanical or electrical
changes must be approved by Groen’s Food
Service Engineering Department.
WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THE KETTLE MUST BE
DONE BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO
WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER
INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN INJURY
TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT.

factory to test all controls and heater elements.
1. Set the kettle in place and level it by turning
the bullet feet to adjust leg length. Allow
clearance around the unit for cleaning,
maintenance and service.
2. Confirm that the jacket water level is at the
mid point of sight glass. If the level is low,
follow the instructions under “Jacket Filling
and Water Treatment,” Page 13.
WARNING

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. THE VALVE
MUST BE FREE TO VENT STEAM AS
NEEDED. IMPROPER INSTALLATION
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY! THE ELBOW
ATTACHED TO THE SAFETY VALVE MUST
POINT TO THE FLOOR.
3. The open end of the
elbow on the outlet of
the pressure relief
valve must face
downward. If it does
not, turn it to the
correct position.
4. Provide electrical power specified on the
equipment electrical information plate.
Observe local codes an/or The National
Electrical Code in accordance with
ANSI/NFPA 70 - (current edition.).
