Equipment Description
OM-EE
Groen Model EE are floor-mounted, tilting, steam-jacketed kettles which have thermostatically controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supplies and appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. Heat produced by electric heating elements boils water in a reservoir below the jacket to produce steam under pressure.
The kettle is surrounded by air-insulated stainless steel sheathing. Stainless steel panels enclose all of the controls. Three stainless steel, tubular legs support the unit. EE kettles 100 gallon capacities. Kettle bodies are welded into one piece. Models are all equipped with a sanitary tangent draw-off (product faucet) valve and a stainless steel strainer. This standard draw-off is two inches in diameter, and uses a compression disc valve. The unit is controlled with a thermostat, which turns electric power on or off, and sets the cooking temperature. Instruments are provided to show what is happening inside the unit:
Water gauge glass: shows the level of water
Pressure/vacuum gauge: shows the steam
Indicator lamp: Lights when the kettle is
are available in 20, 40, 60, 80 and

wi
pressure and if there is air in the jacket
being heated
Automatic controls within the unit:
Contactor: Controlled by the thermostat, turns heating element power on or off
Low-water cutoff: Turns off power to keep heating elements from overheating if water loss exposes them above the water level.
Safety valve: Releases steam if jacket pressure gets too high
The jacket is filled at the factory with wate contains rust inhibitors. When air is removed from the jacket, the kettle efficiently provides a uniform heating temperature range of 150 approximately 270 allows the kettle to be used for warming, simmering, boiling or braising.
The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish and the exterior is given a uniform Number 4 finish. The unit is ASME shop inspected and registered with the National Board for working pressures up to 30 PSI.
Optional equipment for the EE includes:
Three inch draw-off valve

Initial Start-Up
OM-EE
IMPORTANT: BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
Now that the kettle has been installed, you should test it to ensure that the unit is operating correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing materials from inside and outside of the unit.
2. Clean out any material which might clog or damage the draw-off (product outlet).
3. Install the draw-off valve (packed separately) by sliding the assembly into the tangent and hand-tightening the large stainless steel nut.
3. Turn on the electrical service to the unit.
4. Pour water into the kettle until it is about six inches deep (150 mm).
5. Test draw-off valve operation by opening it all the way, then closing it before all the water runs out.
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.
7. To shut down the unit, turn the thermostat dial to “OFF”.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If the unit does not function as described, contact your local Groen Certified Service Agency.
WARNING
6. Following “To Start Kettle” instructions in the “Operation” section of this manual, begin
heating the water at the highest thermostat setting. The heating indicator light should come on immediately, and heating should continue until the water boils.
Each day, confirm the jacket water level by checking the water gauge.
Slide the assembly into the tangent and hand-tighten the large stainless steel nut.

The operator controls kettle heating with the thermostat dial. The dial turns heating element power on or off and sets the kettle operating temperature.
A. To Start Kettle
1. EVERY DAY make sure 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
11.
2. While the kettle is cold, 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 10.
Be sure that the pressure/vacuum gauge shows at least 20 inches of vacuum.
Operation
WARNING OPEN THE KETTLE LID CAREFULLY TO AVOID STEAM WHICH MAY ESCAPE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
CAUTION KEEP FLOORS IN FRONT OF THE KETTLE WORK AREA CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR, CLEAN AT ONCE TO AVOID SLIPS OR FALLS.
2. Use of Optional Basket Insert
The optional kettle basket insert set will assist in cooking water-boiled products such as 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.
3. Make sure that the strainer covers the draw-off valve outlet at the bottom of the kettle. This keeps food solids from collecting in the draw-off area.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The indicator light will confirm 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 contactors in the support housing will make a clicking sound. This is normal.
B. To Transfer Product or Empty Kettle:
1. The kettle is emptied by means of its draw-off valve, by ladling product out, or with the optional tri-basket insert.
Tips For Use.
a) Allow for displacement of the three
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.
