Equipment Description
Groen NHFP Gas Fired Braising Pans provide a
stainless steel pan equipped with heat transfer
fins, burner/combustion chamber, power tilting
mechanism, thermostatic controls, and 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 steamer.
The pan body is constructed of heavy-duty
stainless steel welded into one solid piece, with a
polished interior and a semi-deluxe finish on the
exterior. A pouring lip is welded into the front
wall. The cooking surface is a stainless steel
clad plate fitted with welded heat transfer fins
that assure uniform heat transfer over the entire
surface. The gas burner/combustion chamber
supplies the heat.
The pan is tilted forward by an electrically
powered actuator mechanism. A three-position
switch on the front of the control console gives
the operator positive, smoothly operating control
of tilting. When the pan is tilted, the burners shut
off automatically.
The thermostat provides automatic control of
cooking temperature. The thermostat dial on the
front of the control console turns the heat on or
off and sets the pan temperature.
A fully enclosed, spring-type actuator
counterbalances the cover to keep it opened or
closed. The cover opens to the back and is
hinged to the frame, so that it moves
independently of the pan body.
The NHFP uses an electronic spark ignition
system.

clean all food-contact surfaces to maintain
proper sanitation. At the end of each day or at
least once every 12 hours, turn off the heat and
shut off the electric power to the unit, then clean
both the interior and the exterior of the pan. See
page 11 for cleaning instructions.
b. To get an even temperature across the
pan, preheat at a setting of 300oF or less

OM-NHFP
Sequence of Operation
The following "action-reaction" outline is provided to help the user understand the functioning of the
equipment.
Standard Models with Spark Ignition
1. When the power switch is turned on, it starts
the spark igniter and opens the automatic
valve for the pilot burner. The spark ignites
a pilot flame, which heats the sensor. The
sensor then sends a signal to turn off the
spark. The flame thereafter acts as a
standing pilot until the power is turned off.
2. If the pilot flame is not sensed within 90
seconds after spark begins, a timer shuts
down the entire operation. To attempt a
second trial for ignition, turn off the power
switch. Check the gas supply valves and
wait five minutes before trying again by
switching power on. If there is still no pilot
flame in four tries, close all valves, turn off
the power, and contact an authorized Groen
Service Agency.
3. When the operator sets a temperature on
the thermostat, it causes the automatic valve
to admit gas to the main burner, where it is
ignited by the pilot flame. When the braising
pan reaches the set temperature, the
thermostat switch opens. This stops the
signal to the gas control valve and shuts off
gas to the main burner. The pilot flame
remains lit. When the pan cools below the
set temperature, the thermostat switch
closes and starts another cycle. On and off
cycling continues and maintains the pan at
the desired temperature. This action is
indicated by the Heat indicator light.
control valve to close. When the pan cools,
the thermostat automatically resets and
permits normal operation to continue.
6. The power tilt switch controls a reversible
motor that drives a ball screw mechanism.
When the switch is held in the lowered
position, the mechanism raises the pan
body. The body rests on trunnions near the
front corners, so it tilts forward until the
switch is released or the body reaches the
vertical limit. Any time the pan is tilted more
than ten degrees from the horizontal, a tilt
limit switch automatically turns off the gas
flow to the main gas burner.
7. If the tilting motor gets too hot during
operation, an overheat protection switch will
open and stop the motor. When the motor
cools sufficiently, the switch will reset
automatically and permit tilting to begin
again.
8. The tilt switch will shut off all burners
whenever the braising pan is tilted.
9. A gas pressure regulator, which controls gas
pressure at the burner manifold is built into
the gas control valve.
4. The thermostat controls heating by
alternately calling for flames at the full
capacity of the main burner and then
signaling the control to shut the burner off
completely. Because the control works in
this "all or nothing" manner, the pan heats as
fast as it can until it reaches the set
temperature, no matter what that
temperature is. Turning the thermostat dial
to a higher setting will cause heating to
continue longer, until the pan reaches the
higher temperature, but it cannot make the
pan heat any faster.
5. The pans are protected from overheating by
the high-limit thermostat. If the pan
temperature rises above 425oF, the highlimit thermostat causes the automatic gas

water or cleaning solution will be sprayed, unplug
the unit from the electric power source, or shut
off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse panel.
2. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after
use, before the pan has cooled completely. If the
unit is in continuous use, thoroughly clean and
sanitize both interior and exterior at least once
every 12 hours.
surface and cause eventual corrosion and
pitting.
5. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean
all external and internal surfaces that may have
been soiled. Remember to check such parts as
the underside of the cover, control console, etc.
6. Controls and the control console may be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE
SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND
CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES,
GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY
READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE
DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE
CLEANER TO BE USED.
3. Scrape or rinse out large amounts of food
residues, then wash the inside of the pan body
with a mixture of hot water and soap or an
appropriate detergent, such as Mikro-Quat from
ECOLAB. Follow the detergent supplier's
recommendations on strength of the solution to
use. Rinse the pan thoroughly with hot water and
drain completely.
4. To remove materials stuck to the equipment,
use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber
scraper, or plastic wool along with the detergent
or soap solution. To minimize the effort required
in washing, let the detergent solution sit in the
pan and soak into the residue, or heat the
detergent solution briefly in the pan. Do NOT use
any abrasive materials or metal implement that
might scratch the surface, because scratches
make the pan hard to clean and provide places
for bacteria to grow. Do NOT use steel wool,
which may leave particles imbedded in the pan
Scrapers or steel wool can harm the braising
pan surface.
Use a sponge, cloth or plastic brush to clean the
braising pan.
WARNING
THE CONTROL BOX IS NOT WATERPROOF. TAKE CARE TO KEEP WATER AND
CLEANING SOLUTIONS OUT OF THE BOX.
NEVER HOSE OR SPRAY ELECTRICAL
CONTROLS, CONNECTIONS OR CONTROL

7. Exterior surface of the unit may be polished
with a recognized stainless steel cleaner, such
as "Zepper" from Zep Manufacturing Co.
8. If the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a
sanitizing solution equivalent to one that supplies
200 parts per million available chlorine. Obtain
advice on the best sanitizing agent from your
supplier of sanitizing products. Following the
supplier's instructions, apply the sanitizing agent
after the unit has been cleaned and drained.
Rinse off the sanitizer thoroughly.
Maintenance
Your Braising Pan is designed to require
minimum maintenance, but certain parts may
need replacement after prolonged use. After
installation, no user adjustment should be
necessary. If a service need arises, only
authorized personnel should perform the work.
9. If there is difficulty removing mineral
deposits or a film left by hard water or food
residues, clean the pan thoroughly and then use
a deliming agent, like Lime-Away from ECOLAB,
in accordance with the manufacturer's directions.
Rinse and drain the unit before further use.
