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
pour
ing 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.
T
he 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 fro
m the pan body.

Inspection and Unpacking
The unit will arrive completely assembled,
wrapped in protective plastic on a heavy skid, in a
heavy cardboard carton. Immediately upon receipt,
inspect the carton for damage. Report any
apparent shipping damage or an incorrect
shipment to the delivery agent.
When installation is to begin, get someone to
assist in removing the carton. Lift it straight up
and away from the unit. Do not simply raise it
and push backwards - it will break the cover

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 ” to ” (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.

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

WARNING
Operation
IMPORTANT:
BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS,
CAUTIONS, AND SAFETY
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.
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
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
desired position, but the operation can be speeded
up by substituting a reversible drill with a inch
hexagonal driver bit in place of the tool.

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.

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.
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.

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
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.
flow of
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
detailed cleaning instructions.
more
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.
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 therm
resets to permit normal operation to
start again.
ostat automatically
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
of the draw off valve.
