OM-FPC
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, bainmarie, or food warmer and server. It can also be adapted for use as a non-pressure steam er.
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 elem ents 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 back-splash. They do not have legs.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the pan body and provides precise control for pouring or dum ping 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 com pact 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 tem perature. 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 counterbalances 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.

Installation
WARNING
THE BRAISING PAN MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER I N S T A L LA TI O N COULD RESULT I N PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied com plete . W hen you receive the unit, it is ready for connection. A wiring diagram is located inside the control box on the left side of the pan, as well as in this manual (pp. 14-21).
Your pan was performance-tested at the factory to confirm that all controls and heating elements were functioning correctly.
Installation is as follows:
A.For All Models:
6.Provide the proper electrical supply as specified on the electrical information plate. Comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7- latest edition.
7.Use only #6 gauge copper wire, rated at least 200ºC (392ºF)
8.Units are wired at the factory for three phase operation and should be connected as follows:
B.For Model FPC or FPC/1:
1.Set the unit in place and level it by turning the adjustable feet. Crank the pan body to a completely horizontal position. Check levelness by placing a spirit level on the bottom of the pan. The unit must be level to avoid uneven cooking across the pan.
2.Make a waterproof connection with the incoming power line at the electrical service entrance in the bottom of the control console. A BX connection is
NOT recommended. ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT at the proper term inal.
WARNING
ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE PAN AT THE TERMINAL PROVIDED.
C.For Model MW/FPC or MW/FPC/1:
1.Install the provided “chair carrier” frame in the wall to which the pan (and/or other equipm ent) will be attached. Follow accompanying instructions regarding anchoring and location.
2.Stub in the electrical service so that it will be aligned with the control console on the left side of the pan when it is mounted.
3.Mount the pan on the protruding studs of the chair carrier. Make sure the

bottom of the pan body is level before you proceed to the next step. To prevent sanitation problems, seal the junction between the pan and wall with an appropriate NSFapproved material such as Silastic.
4.Make waterproof connection with the incoming electrical line. A BX connection is NOT recommended.
ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT at the proper term inal.

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 EM PTY 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. W hen 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 norm al.
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 cov er 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 av oid the steam that will be released, grasp the nearest corner of the cov er handle and raise the cover. The cover will stay
