IMPORTANT OPERATOR WARNINGS .................................................. 2
The Groen FPC is a stainless steel, electrically heated
Braising Pan which is equipped with integrated heating
elements, a hand operated 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 FPC and FPC/1 are mounted on an open-leg
frame which is fabricated from tubular stainless steel.
Models MW/FPC and MW/FPC/1 are designed to be
wall-mounted with side support arms and a backsplash. They do not have legs.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the
pan body and provides precise control for pouring or
dumping its contents.
This handwheel controlled mechanism is located in a
stainless steel console to right of the pan body. 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 and heating
indicator light are contained in a compact control
console which is mounted to the left of the pan body.
The 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 spring-type actuator counter-balances the
cover to maintain either the opened or closed position.
The cover opens to the back. It is hinged to the frame,
so it moves independently from the pan body.

Initial Start-Up
OM-FPC
Now that the Braising Pan has been installed, you
should test it to ensure that it is operating correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing materials
from the 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 ¼” to ½” (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.
Operation
Operator Controls on the Braising Pan include the
thermostat dial on the console to the left of the pan
body and the tilting handwheel, to the right. The dial
turns electric power for the pan on or off, and sets
the pan’s operating temperature. The handwheel
controls the worm and gear mechanism that tilts the
pan body and holds it in the desired position.
A. Start-up Procedure
1. Set the thermostat dial to the desired
temperature between 100 and 400o F. The
Heat Indicator Light shows that the pan is
heating. When the light cycles on and off, it
indicates that the pan is holding at the set
temperature. During these cycles you may
hear the contactors in the control box make
a clicking sound. This is normal.
4. Set the thermostat to 235o F. The heating
indicator light should come on to show that
the pan is heating. Heating should continue
until the water boils.
5. To shut the unit down, turn the thermostat
dial to “OFF.”
CAUTION
STAND AWAY FROM THE HOT WATER WHILE
TILTING THE PAN TO EMPTY IT.
6. Position a container for the pour-off. Turn
the handwheel clockwise to pour the water
out. This will confirm that the pan body tilts
from horizontal to vertical.
B. Cooking
1. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the
dial at about 210o F or lower. Put the cover
down to keep moisture loss at a minimum,
or leave it up to help dryor 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.
2. For best results when braising or frying,
preheat the pan before putting in any food.
For an even temperature across the pan,
preheat at a setting of 300o F or less for 15
minutes, or through several on/off cycles of
the thermostat.
WARNING
DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE
THAN FIVE MINUTES AT SETTINGS ABOVE
300oF. DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD
RESULT.
WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
ESCAPING FROM THE COVER VENT.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS
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.
7
OM-FPC
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.
WARNING
IF THE PAN CONTAINS ITEMS IN SAUCE OR
MELTED FAT, THEY COULD SLIDE FORWARD
SUDDENLY DURING TILTING AND CAUSE
THE HOT LIQUID TO SPLASH OUT.
5. To return the pan to the horizontal position,
turn the wheel counter-clockwise.
6. To turn the pan off, turn the thermostat to
the “OFF” position.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
EQUIPMENT SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN
CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD
OR WATER IN THE BRAISING PAN. DIRECT
CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
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 flow
of 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.
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.
C, 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 9 for
more detailed cleaning instructions.
If the pan temperature exceeds 425o F for any
reason, a high-limit thermostat shuts off the power
until the pan cools. At that point, the thermostat
automatically resets to permit normal operation to
start again.
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.
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.

2. Procedure
WARNING
BEFORE ANY CLEANING OPERATION, TURN
THERMOSTAT DIAL TO “OFF” TO CUT ANY
POWER TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS.
BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OTHER THAN
THE INSIDE OF THE PAN, DISCONNECT
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT CIRCUIT BREAKER
OR FUSE BOX.
a. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after
use. It is best to clean the pan before it has
completely cooled. If the unit is in
continuous use, completely clean and
sanitize both the inside and outside at least
once every 12 hours.
CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN,
EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND CLOTHING.
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN. WEAR
RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. READ THE
WARNINGS AND CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
DIRECTIONS ON THE CLEANER LABEL.
c.Following the supplier’s directions, make up
a warm solution of the cleaner. Carefully
wash the inside and outside of the pan body
with the cleaning solution.
CAUTION
KEEP WATER AND CLEANING SOLUTIONS
OUT OF CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT SPRAY OR HOSE
THE CONTROL BOX OR OTHER
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THEY ARE
NOT WATER-PROOF.
b. To remove any large amount of food left in
the pan, tilt the pan all the way up and flush
it with lukewarm water. Do not damage the
surface of the pan by scraping it with a metal
tool. Scratches make the surface more
difficult to clean, and provide ideal breeding
places for bacteria.
Don’t use metal implements or steel wool when
cleaning.
Use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or
rubber scraper, or plastic wool to clean.
9
OM-FPC
d. Use a cloth moistened with cleaning solution
to clean controls, the control console, and
electric conduit.
e. Rinse the pan very well with lukewarm water,
and drain it completely.
f.As part of the daily cleaning program, clean
all inside and outside surfaces that may
have been soiled. Remember to check such
parts as the undersides of the cover, the
electrical console and other more remote
spots. Clean between the pan body and the
consoles using the brush provided (P/N
058705).
g. To remove materials stuck to the equipment,
use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber
scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning
solution. To make washing easier, let the
cleaning solution sit in the unit and soak into
the residue, or heat the solution briefly. Do
not use any gritty cleaner or metal tool that
might scratch the surface. Scratches make
the surface harder to clean, and also provide
places for bacteria to grow. Do not use
steel wool. Small bit of steel wool left in the
surface of the unit can cause rusting and
pitting.
h. The outside of the unit may be polished with
a recognized stainless steel cleaner such as
Zepper from the Zep Manufacturing
Company.
j.Following supplier instructions, apply the
sanitizing agent after the unit has been
cleaned and drained. Thoroughly drain off
the sanitizer.
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN
CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES. LONGER
CONTACT CAN CAUSE CORROSION.
k. After the unit has been cleaned, sanitized
and drained, let all surfaces air dry unless
the unit must be used again right away.
l.It is recommended that the unit be sanitized
just before use. Follow the directions of the
sanitizer supplier.
m. About once a week (more often if the water
is very hard), use a heavy duty cleaner to
remove any mineral deposits or film left by
hard water or foods. Follow the supplier’s
directions very carefully, and rinse the unit
off thoroughly, as soon as cleaning is
finished.
n. If especially difficult cleaning problems
persist, contact your cleaning product
supplier for help. The supplier has a trained
technical staff with laboratory facilities to
serve you.
i.When the equipment needs to be sanitized,
use a sanitizing solution equivalent to one
that supplies 100 parts per million available
chlorine. Get advice about the best
sanitizing agent from you supplier of
sanitizing products.
