Equipment Description
Groen Models HH/4 and HH/4E steam kettles are stainless steel, floor mounted 40 gallon kettles with a self-contained steam source heated by gas. A closed steam jacket covers the lower b of the kettle. Heat from gas flames boils water in the jacket to produce steam under pressure. To ignite the flames, Model HH/4 has a continuously burning pilot flame, called the standing pilot, and Model HH/4E has electronic spark ignition.
The kettles are of the stationary (nontilting) type. Liquids can be removed from the kettle through the tangent draw-off valve (a “product faucet”) at the front of the kettle.
All exposed surfaces are stainless steel. An insulated canopy protects the kettle body, and a housing encloses all the controls. A one piece dome cover is hinged to the kettle.
Three tubular legs support the unit. Bullet feet on the legs can be adjusted to level the kettle.
Controls used by the operator include the ON/OFF switch, which controls electric power for the unit, and the thermostat, which sets the cooking temperature.
Instruments are provided to show what is happening inside the unit:
Pressure Limit Switch: Turns the main burner off when steam in the jacket reaches its highest operating pressure.
Low-water cutoff: Turns off the burner if water level in the jacket gets too low for safe operation.
Safety valve: Releases steam if jacket pressure gets too high
The 40 gallon kettle body is welded into one piece and furnished with a rim reinforced by a rectangular bar. The unit is ASME shop inspected and registered with the National Board for working pressures up to 30 PSI.
The standard 2 inch tangent draw-off has a removable strainer with ¼ inch holes which keep pieces of product that are too large from going down into the draw-off.
The jacket is filled at the factory with water containing rust inhibitors. The kettle can operate at steam pressures up to 30 PSI, which provide kettle temperatures of 150 to approximately 270°F (56 to 132ºC). This temperature range allows the operator to use the kettle for warming, simmering, boiling, or braising.
Optional equipment for the HH/4 kettles includes:
Water gauge glass: shows the level of water within the steam jacket
Pressure/vacuum gauge: shows the steam pressure and if there is air in the jacket
Indicator lamp: Lights when the kettle is being heated
Automatic controls within the unit:
Gas Pressure Regulator: Adjusts gas pressure up to 14" W.C.
Three inch draw-off valve
c” perforated or solid disc strainer
Basket inserts (TRI-BC)
Water fill faucets

(7) Place baskets with food on a stable, flat
surface, or inside a solid steamer or bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water draining from product.
The following “action-reaction” outline will help the user understand how the equipment works.
A. Model HH/4 with Standing Pilot Ignition
Pressing the reset button overrides the automatic control and opens the pilot burner valve, allowing gas from the supply line into the pilot. Lighting and sustaining the pilot flame for 60 seconds heats the thermocouple to operating temperature, so that it can supply electric current at 20 to 25 millivolts. Current from the thermocouple powers a coil that holds the pilot burner valve open. If the pilot flame goes out and the thermocouple cools, the valve closes and prevents gas flow into the unit.
Once the pilot burner valve opens, gas is available at the main burner valve, which is normally closed. Pushing the toggle switch to “ON” provides 120 Volt electric power to the thermostat. When the operator turns the thermostat dial to a setting, the switch closes and allows power to the heating indicator light and a coil at the main burner valve. The coil opens the main burner valve. Gas then flows to the main burner where it is ignited by the pilot flame.
B. Model HH/4/E with Electronic Spark Ignition
Pressing the toggle switch “ON”, supplies electric power to the thermostat. Turning the dial to an operating setting closes the thermostat switch and energizes the gas control. Simultaneously, an arc is established at the spark gap, and the pilot burner automatic valve is opened. When the spark ignites gas flowing from the pilot burner, a pilot flame probe detects the flame. The probe sends a signal to shut the spark off and close the circuit. This provides power for the indicator light and the main automatic valve. Gas from the main burner is ignited by the pilot flame. If a pilot flame is not sensed within 30 seconds, a timer shuts down the whole operation.
C. All Units
As main burner heat raises steam temperature to the set temperature, the thermostat switch opens. This cuts power to the main burner valve, which closes and turns off the burner. When jacket steam cools below the set point, the thermostat switch closes and begins another cycle. This repeats to maintain the kettle at the desired temperature.
The thermostat controls heating by alternately calling for flames at main burner full capacity or signaling the control to shut the burner off. Because the control works in this “all or nothing” way, the kettle heats as fast as it can until it reaches a set temperature. Turning the thermostat higher only makes heating continue longer. It will not make the unit heat any faster.
Safety features operate as follows:
1. Pressure limit switch: If pressure in the jacket exceeds 27 PSI, the switch opens and breaks the circuit at the main gas valve. The valve closes and remains closed until pressure drops to 22 PSI. The switch then closes, energizes the gas valve coil, and permits operation to resume.
2. Low-water cutoff: As long as water touches the cutoff electrode in the jacket, operation of the kettle can continue. If the water level falls below the end of the electrode, a control circuit breaks, and the main gas valve closes. Jacket water must be restored to a safe operating level, before the kettle can be heated again.
3. Safety valve: If steam pressure in the jacket reaches 30 PSI, the valve will open and relieve the excess pressure.

Maintenance
NOTICE: Contact Groen or an authorized Groen representative when repairs are required.
1. Periodic Maintenance
A Maintenance & Service Log is provided at the back of this manual with the warranty information. Each time maintenance is performed on your Groen kettle, enter the date on which the work was done, what was done, and who did it. Keep this manual on file and available for operators to use.
Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of operation. The following points should be checked: a. Check the pressure/vacuum gauge
or the valve leaks, stop using the kettle and contact a qualified Groen service representative.
WARNING WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
d. Keep the primary air shutter of the
burner gas jets free of dust and lint.
The pressure gauge should show a vacuum of 20 to 30 inches when the kettle is cold.
every day. The gauge should show a vacuum of 20 to 30 inches, when the kettle is cold. If it does not, see “Jacket Vacuum” below.
b. Also check the jacket water level every
day. It should be between the marks on the gauge glass. If the level is low, see “Jacket Filling and Water Treatment” on page 13.
c. Test the safety valve at
least twice each month. Test the valve with the kettle operating at five psi, by pulling up the test valve chain for at least 5 seconds. Then release the lever and let the valve snap shut. If the valve does not activate, or there is no evidence of discharge,
Test the safety valve at least twice monthly.
e. The pilot flame should be blue, and
should envelop about ½ inch of the flame sensor tip.
f. Maintain electrical wire and connections
in good condition.
g. Keep the inside of the control console
clean and dry. h. Keep the burner ports clean. i. Keep the burner shield and adjacent
parts clean.
12
Page 13
2. Jacket Vacuum
When the kettle is cold, a positive pressure/ vacuum gauge reading or a reading near zero indicates that there is air in the jacket. Air in the jacket slows kettle heating.
To remove air: a. Start the unit.(Be sure there is water or
product in the kettle when heating).
b. Make sure that the elbow of the safety
valve outlet is turned so that escaping steam is directed toward the floor.
c. When the pressure/vacuum gauge
reaches a positive pressure reading of five PSI, release the air and steam by pulling up or out on the safety valve lever or ring for about 1 second. Repeat this step, then let the pull ring or valve lever snap back into the closed position.
OM-HH
b. Allow the kettle to cool. Remove the pipe
plug from the jacket fill assembly. c. Open the gate valve and pour in the
distilled or treated water. d. Hold the safety valve open to allow air to
escape from the jacket while you pour in
the water. Continue to pour until the
water level rises to a point between the
marks on the gauge glass. e. Any air introduced into the jacket during
filling must be removed to obtain
efficient heating. See “Jacket Vacuum”
above.
4. Water Treatment Procedure
a. Obtain water treatment compound and a
pH test kit from your Groen Authotized
Service Parts Distributor.
WARNING STAY AWAY FROM THE STEAM THAT IS BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE. THE STEAM CAN CAUSE A SEVERE BURN.
3. Jacket Filling and Water Treatment
The jacket was charged at the factory with the proper amount of treated water. You may need to restore this water because it was lost as steam during venting or by draining.
a. If you are replacing water lost as steam,
use distilled water. If you are replacing treated water that ran out of the jacket, prepare more treated water as directed in step 4, “Water Treatment Procedure.”
Do not use tap water.
WARNING TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE LABEL OF THE WATER TREATMENT COMPOUND.
b. Fill a mixing container with the
measured amount of water required. (5¼ Gallons [20 liters]). Distilled water is preferred.
c. Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim
of the container, with about 1 inch of the strip below the surface of the water.
d. Measure the water treatment compound
(One way to do this is to add the compound from a measuring cup.)
e. Stir the water continuously, while you
slowly add water treatment compound, until the water reaches a pH between
10.5 and 11.5. Judge the pH by frequently comparing the test strip color with the color chart provided in the pH test kit.
13
(6) Record the exact amounts of water and
treatment compound used. These amounts may be used again, if the same water sources and compound are used in the future. However, it is best to check the pH each time treated water is prepared.

j. When equipment needs to be sanitized,
use a solution equivalent to one that supplies 200 parts per million available chlorine. Obtain advice on sanitizing agents from your supplier of sanitizing products. Following the supplier’s instructions, apply the agent after the unit has been cleaned and drained. Rinse off the sanitizer thoroughly.
CAUTION NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES. LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE STAINING AND CORROSION.
k. It is recommended that each piece of
equipment be sanitized just before use.
l. If there is difficulty removing mineral
deposits or a film left by hard water or food residues, clean the kettle thoroughly and then use a deliming agent, like Groen Delimer/Descaler (Part Number 114800) or Lime-A-Way® from Ecolab, in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse and drain the unit before further use.
m. If cleaning problems persist, contact your
cleaning product representative for assistance. The supplier has a trained technical staff with laboratory facilities to serve you.
