Servicing and Conversion

Section 3

IMPORTANT

After Servicing

a) Test for gas soundness as specified in

IGE/UP1 as appropriate after any gas
connection has been disturbed.

b) If leaks are found, disconnect the mating parts,

clean the threads and apply recommended
sealant as specified in Note 2 above.

c) Check for correct operation, as appropriate

(see commissioning of appliance).

WARNING - Do not leave any wood splinter
or bristles from brush in the burner or injector.
Fire could result.

Regular Servicing Procedures

The following must be serviced at regular intervals.

Burners

The burner should be cle
maintain maximum performance. Burners are
best cleaned with a wire brush and any blocked
parts are best cleaned with a metal broach,
taking care not to damage the burner head.

The injector orifice should be cleaned with a
wooden splinter. Metal reamers may distort or
increase the orifice size and should be avoided.

WARNING - Do not leave any wood splinter
or bristles from brush in the burner or injector.
Fire could result.

Gears

The gear housing has fitting for proper
lubrication of moving parts. 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 6 months. It is

aned periodically to

recommended that a #2 grade LGI lithium
grease be used. Add grease through the Zerk
fittings on the gear housing until grease flows out
of 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.

Safety Valve (Steam)

At least twice a month the safety valve requires
checking to make sure it works correctly. When
the gauge pressure is about five PSI, lift the
valve lever enough to vent steam, then quickly
let it snap back into place.

WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE.

This procedure should be explained to the user,
since it is to be carried out at least twice a
month. Safety procedures and requirements
should also be explained to the user when
carrying out the procedure.

Safety Valve Operating Instructions

If adding water to the boiling pan jacket,
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.

DO NOT ALLOW

10 OM/SM- DH CE

OM-SM-DH-CE

OM/SM-DH-CE

The minimum required pressure margin for this
type of valve is 10% of the safety relief valve set
pressure, but not less than five PSI. UNDER NO

CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS MARGIN
BE LESS THAN 5 PSI. Failure to maintain this

operating margin may result in water leakage
past the seat and 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.

Maintenance and Testing

If lift lever does not activate, or there is no
evidence of discharge, discontinue use of
equipment immediately and contact a licensed
contractor or qualified service personnel.

Neither Conbraco Industries, Inc. nor its agents
assume any liability for valves improperly
installed or maintained.

This quality Conbraco safety relief valve, along
with proper installation, use, and maintenance,
will provide many years of reliable service and
protection against excessive pressure build-up of
water/steam. Use of this valve for any other
purpose or media places all responsibility upon
the user. Before installing valve or operating
equipment to which it is installed, read
instructions carefully. Always wear proper safety
equipment.

INSTALLATION OF SAFETY VALVE (STEAM)

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.

Test the operation of the safety valve on a
regular basis.

3.3 Jacket Filling

(TURN OFF GAS AND ELECTRICITY MAINS)

The jacket has been charged at the factory with
the proper amount of treated, distilled water. You
may need to restore jacket water to its proper
level, either because it was lost as steam during
venting or by draining.

OM-SM-DH-CE

OM/SM-DH-CE

The procedure for adding water follows:

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 below.

b) Allow the kettle to cool completely. Using the

proper size spanner, remove the pipe plug
from above the globe valve.

c) Open the globe valve and pour distilled or

treated water into the pipe plug orifice. Hold
the safety valve open while you pour to let air
escape from the jacket.

d) Air introduced to the jacket during the filling

operation must be removed to obtain
efficient heating. See Paragraph 3.2.

See detailed Instructions on Page 11 pertaining
to Safety Valve installation and operation.

b) Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of

the container, with about 1" of the strip below
the surface of the water.

c) Measure the water treatment compound you

will be using. (One way to do this is to add
the compound to the water from a small
measuring cup).

d) 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 pH by frequently comparing the
color of the test strip with the color chart
provided in the pH test kit.

e) Record the exact amounts of water and

treatment compound used. These amounts
may be used again, if the same sources of
water and compound are employed.
However, it is advisable to check the pH
every time water is prepared. For optimum
performance, use correctly treated, distilled
water.

5.2.3 Filling the Kettle

Prior to operation, thoroughly clean the kettle
using hot water and detergent.

Kettle capacities:

Model Maximum Capacity
DH-20 75 Litres
DH-40 150 Litres
DH-60 225 Litres

To prevent surge boiling, no more than 80%
of the maximum capacity should be used.

d. Tilt cut-off switch that shuts off all burners

when the kettle is tilted.

When the kettle reaches the set temperature,
the thermostat switch opens, stopping the
signal to the gas control valve and causing the
valve to shut off all gas flow. When the kettle
cools below the set temperature, the thermostat
switch closes and starts another heating cycle.

5.2.5 Sequence of Operation

The following "sequence of operation" outline is
provided to help the user understand how the
unit functions.

When the operator sets a temperature on the
thermostat dial, the thermostat switch closes
and sends a signal which (1) starts the spark
and (2) opens the automatic valve for the
burners.

The spark ignites the burners. The
flame completes a circuit at the sensing probe
and sends a signal that causes the spark to
shut off and the automatic valve to latch open to
full flow. If a flame is not detected within 60 seconds
the gas is automatically cut-off and the appliance
is locked-out.
the power button has been turned off, and then on.

In addition to the lockout timer, safety features
include:

The unit can only be re-lit after

• C maximum.

To tilt the body of the kettle forward, turn the
hand crank on the front of the cabinet anti­clockwise. The body will stay in the position it
holds when you stop turning the handle. To
return the body to the upright position, turn the
crank clockwise.

5.2.6.2 DHT Kettle Only

Turn the handle on the tangent draw-off valve
anti-clockwise. To close the tangent

draw-off valve, push 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.

5.3 Cleaning and Maintenance

CAUTION
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE ANY CLEANING IS UNDERTAKEN. THE
APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CLEANED WITH A JET OF WATER OR STEAM CLEANED.

5.3.1 Suggested Tools

a) Detergent and sanitizing agent, or a

combination cleaning - sanitizing agent.

b) Long handled and short handled kettle

brushes.

5.3.2 Precautions

Before cleaning, shut off the burner by turning
the thermostat dial to "OFF". If water or
cleaning/sanitizing solution will be sprayed,
shut off all electric power to the unit at a remote
switch such as the circuit breaker.

WARNING
KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF
CONTROLS, GEARS AND BURNERS.
NEVER SPRAY OR HOSE THE CONTROL
CONSOLE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS,
TILTING MECHANISM OR CABINET.

5.3.3 Procedure

f) 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 kettle
and the control housing.

g) To remove materials stuck to the

equipment, use a brush, sponge, cloth,
plastic or rubber scraper, or plastic wool
along with the detergent solution. To
minimize the effort required in washing, let
the detergent solution sit in the kettle and
soak into the residue, or heat the detergent
solution briefly. Do not use any abrasive
materials or metal implement that might
scratch the surface. Scratches make the
surface hard to clean and provide places
for bacteria to grow. DO NOT use steel
wool, which may leave particles imbedded
in the surface and cause eventual corrosion
and pitting

h) The exterior of the unit may be polished

with a recognized stainless steel cleaner or
with hot water and detergent.

a) Clean all 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 sanitise both
interior and exterior at least once every 12
hours

b) Scrape and flush out large amounts of food

residues. Be careful not to scratch the
kettle with metal implements.

c) Prepare a hot solution of the detergent or

cleaning compound as instructed by the
supplier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth
moistened with cleaning solution can be
used to clean controls, control housings
electrical conduit, etc.

d) Rinse kettle and draw-off parts thoroughly

with hot water, then drain completely. Keep
draw-off parts together. They are not
interchangeable.

e) When you reassemble the draw-off valve

hand tighten only.

i) When the equipment needs to be sanitized,

use a sanitizing solution equivalent to one
that supplies 200 parts per million available
chlorine. Obtain advice on the best
sanitizing agent from your supplier of
sanitizing products. Following the suppliers
instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after
the unit has been cleaned and drained.
Rinse off the sanitizing agent thoroughly.

CAUTION
LEAVING A CHLORINE SANITIZING AGENT
IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL FOR
MORE THAN 30 MINUTES CAN CAUSE
CORROSION.

j) It is recommended that the unit be sanitized

before use.

k) If there is difficulty removing mineral

deposits or a film left by hard water or food
residues, clean the kettle thoroughly and
then use a deliming agent, such as
GroenDelimer Descaler (P/N 114800) or
LimeAway from Eco Lab Inc., in
accordance with the manufacturer's

OM/SM-DH CE 25

OM-SM-DH-CE

OM/SM-DH-CE

directions. Rinse and drain the unit before

5.3.5 Service-Periodic Maintenance

further use.

l) If especially difficult cleaning problems

persist, contact your cleaning product
supplier for assistance.

5.3.4 Safety Precautions

A stopcock will be fitted in the gas pipe
supplying the appliance. The user must be
familiar with its location and operation to turn it
off in an emergency. If there is a smell of gas,
turn off the gas, ventilate the area and call the
gas supplier. Do not search for gas leaks with
naked flames.

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:

a. 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.

b. The jacket water level should be between

the gauge glass marks. If it is not, the unit
requires servicing.

c. Keep electrical wiring in good condition.
