1.0 Equipment Description
OM/SM-EE(CE)
Groen Model EE is a floor-mounted, stationary,
steam-jacketed kettle which has a thermostatically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam
supply 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 are available in 20, 40, 60 and 80 gallon
capacities. Kettle bodies are welded into one piece.
Models are all equipped with a two inch (50 mm)
sanitary tangent draw-off (product faucet) valve and
a stainless steel strainer. This standard draw-off
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
within the steam jacket
• Pressure/vacuum gauge: Shows the steam
pressure and if there is air in the jacket
• Indicator lamp: Lights when the kettle is 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 treated water .
When air is removed from the jacket, the kettle
efficiently provides a uniform heating temperature
range of 150 to approximately 270oF (65 to 132oC).
This range 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 PSIG (206 kPa).
Optional equipment for the EE and AE kettles
includes:
• Three inch(75 mm) draw-off valve
• Perforated or solid disc strainer
• Basket inserts (TRI-BC)
• Water fill faucets
• Automatic water filler
• Kettle brush kit
• 316 stainless steel liner

service.
OM/SM-EE(CE)
3.2 Confirm that the jacket water level is above the
mid point of the gauge glass. If the level is low,
follow the instructions under “Jacket Filling and
Water Treatment,” Page 12.
3.3 The open end of the elbow
on the outlet of the safety
valve must face downward.
If it does not, turn it to the
correct position.

connection with the incoming lines. Incoming
power connections are made at the terminal
block. Observe local codes and/or the National
Electrical Code in compliance with ANSI/NFPA
70 (latest edition). When there is a choice
between applicable codes, Groen recommends
following the more stringent code. (A BX
connection is not recommended.)
