Equipment Description

The Groen TD/FPC electrically heated braising
pan provides a 40 quart, stainless steel pan body
mounted for tilting and equipped with electric
heating elements and a thermostatic control.
The braising pan serves as a braising unit,
griddle, fry pan, kettle, or bain-marie, and with
optional equipment may be used also as an oven
or food warmer/server.

The pan body Is made of heavy-duty stainless
steel welded into one piece with a polished
interior and semi-deluxe finish on the exterior. A
pouring lip is molded into the front wall. The
cooking surface is stainless steel clad plate fitted
with clamped-on electric heating elements to
provide efficient heat transfer over the entire
surface.

The heating elements and all other electrical
components of the unit are enclosed for safety.
The thermostat and indicator light are contained
in a compact control console mounted to the
right of the pan body. Installation requires only
one electrical connection.

The pan body and control console are mounted
on a base plate. A convenient handle on the right
side of the pan body facilitates tilting.

Optional equipment includes:

1. Fill faucet with swing spout

2. One piece, lift-off cover

3. TS/8 support stand

Installation

WARNING

THE BRAISING PAN MU

ST BE INSTALLED
BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO
WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER
INSTALLATION COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.

Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied
complete. When you receive the unit, it is ready
for connection. A wiring diagram is located
inside the console on the side of the pan, as well
as in this manual (pp. 14-21).

Your pan was performance-tested at the factory
to confirm that its controls and heating elements
were functioning correctly.

Installation is as follows:

1. Set the unit in place on a level surface. The
unit must be level to avoid uneven cooking
across the pan.

2.Provide the proper electric power supply as
specified on the electrical information plate.
Observe local codes and/or The National
Electrical Code in accordance with ANSI/NFPA
70 - latest edition.

3.Bringing the electrical service through the
entrance in the control box, make a waterproof
connection with the incoming lines. A BX
connection is not recommended. GROUND THE
UNIT ELECTRICALLY AT THE TERMINAL
PROVIDED.

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 235

o

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

The operator controls braising pan operation
with the thermostat dial, which is located on the
right front of the unit. Setting the dial sends
electric power to turn the heaters on or off and
sets the operating temperature of the pan.

A. To Start Pan

1. Turn on the electric power supply to the unit.

2. Turn the thermostat dial to a desired setting
between 100 and 400

°F (38 and 204°C).
The red indicator light will glow, showing that
the pan is heating. The light will cycle on
and off, which indicates that the pan is being
held at the set temperature. Once in each
cycle the contactors in the control box will
make a clicking sound. This is normal.

3. For best braising or frying results, preheat
the pan before you put in any food. To get
an even temperature across the pan,
preheat at a setting of 300

°

F (149° C) or

less for 15 minutes (several thermostat

on/off cycles).

WARNING

DO NOT HE

AT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE
THAN FIVE MINUTES AT SETTINGS ABOVE
300

o

F. DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD

RESULT.

B. Cooking

1. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the
dial at about 210

o

F (99° C) or lower. Put the
optional cover on the pan to keep moisture
loss at a minimum, or leave it off to help dry
or 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. When using the optional cover, leave the
cover vent open to allow excess steam to
escape. For longer simmering, you may
wish to close the vent to retain moisture.

3. Be careful when lifting the optional cover. Lift
its rear edge a few inches to allow any
steam or and hot vapor to escape the pan.
Then tilt it further to allow any hot
condensate to roll off the cover and back
into the pan.

WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
ESCAPING FROM THE COVER VENT.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS
