Equipment Description
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
