Equipment Description
Groen Gas Heated Brai sing Pans provi de a
stainless steel pan equipped with pat ent ed heat
transfer fins, burner/combustion chamber, handoperated tilting mechanism, thermostatic
controls, and hinged cover. The Braising Pan
serves as brais ing unit, griddle, fry pan, ov en,
kettle, bain-marie, or food w armer and server,
and it can be adapted for use as a steamer.
The pan body is made from heavy-duty stainless
steel welded into one solid piece, with a
polished in t erior and exteri or. A pouring lip is
welded to the front wall. The cooking surface i s
a stainless steel clad plate fitted w ith welded
heat transfer fins which assure uniform heat
transfer over the entire s urface. The gas
burner/combustion chamber supplies the heat.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism
tilts t he pan and provi des precise control for
pouring or dumping the contents of the pan. This
hand-wheel controlled mechanism is located in
a stainless steel console to the right of the pan
body. To ass ist cleaning, the pan body can be
tilted past the vert ical position. When the pan is
tilted, t he burners shut off automatically.
The thermostat provides automatic control of
cooking temperature. Operati ng t he thermostat
dial on the front of the control console turns the
heat on or off and sets the pan t emperature.
A vent ed, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless
steel cover w ith a condensate drip shield on the
rear edge is standard on the Brai sing Pan. A
fully enclosed, spring t ype actuator count erbalances the cover to keep it in either the
opened or closed position. The cover opens t o
the back and is hinged to the frame, so it moves
independently of the pan body.
Models HFP/ 2E , and HFP/2 are mounted on an
open-leg frame fabricated from tubular stainless
steel.
Model HFP/2E has an ignition s yst em that uses
electronic spark ignition. Optional model HFP/2
has a standing-flame pilot light that ignites t he
main burner.
The unit will arrive completely ass embled,
wrapped in protect ive plastic on a heavy s kid, in
a heavy cardboard carton. I mmediately upon

Sequence of Operation
The following "action-reaction" out line is provided to help the user understand how the equipment functions.
A. Standard Models with Spark Ignition
1. When the power switch is turned on, it st arts the
spark igni ter and opens the automati c valve for the
pilot burner. The spark i gnites a pilot flame, which
heats the sensor. The sensor then s ends a signal
to turn off the spark. The flame thereafter acts as a
standing pilot unti l the power is t u rned off.
2. If the pilot flame is not sens ed within 90 seconds
after spark begins, a timer shuts down the enti re
operation. To att empt a second trial for ignition,
turn off the power sw itch. Check the gas supply
valves and wait fiv e minut es before trying again by
swi t ching power on. If there is sti ll no pilot flame in
four tries, close all v alves, turn off the power, and
contact an authorized Groen S ervice A gency.
3. When the operator sets a temperature on the
thermostat, it causes the aut omatic valve t o
admit gas to the main burner, where it is i gnited
by the pilot flame. When the braising pan
reaches the set t emperature, t he t hermostat
swi t ch opens . This st ops the si gnal to t he gas
control valve and s huts off gas to the main
burner. The pilot flame remains lit . When the
pan cools below the set temperature, the
thermostat switch closes and st arts another
cycle. On and off cycling continues and
maintains t he pan at the desired t emperature.
This acti on is i ndicated by the Heat i ndicator light.
