DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY KETTLE. EXCESSIVE STEAM PRESSURE COULD DEVELOP.
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
thin the steam jacket
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.
The unit will arrive in a heavy shipping carton
and will be banded to a skid. Immediately upon
receipt, inspect the carton carefully for exterior
damage.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION
AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT. TAKE
CARE TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT BY STAPLES
LEFT IN THE WALLS OF THE CARTON.
Carefully cut any polyester straps around th
carton and detach the sides of the box from the
skid. Pull the carton up off the unit.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for concealed
damage. Report any shipping damage or
incorrect shipments to the delivery agent.
e
Write down the model number, serial number,
and installation date, and retain this information
for future reference. Space for these entries is
provided at the top of the Service Log at the
back of this manual. Keep this manual on file
and available for operators to use.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT IS VERY HEAVY. INSTALLER
SHOULD OBTA
LIFT THIS WEIGHT SAFELY.
When installation is to begin, carefully cut any
straps which hold the unit on the skid. Lift the
unit straight up off the skid. Examine packing
materials to be sure that loose parts are not
discarded with the materials.
IN HELP AS NEEDED TO
The unit will arrive in a heavy carton.
Inside it will be banded to a skid.

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.
