Use of Common Accessories
C.
1.Lift-Off or Counterbalanced Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional cover can
speed up the heating of water and food products.
It helps retain heat and reduces the heat and
humidity in the kitchen. A cover can reduce
some product cook times and help maintain the
temperature, color and texture of products held
or simmered for longer periods.
Be sure the handle is secure on the lift-off cover
before using. ALWAYS use the handle to place
or remove cover from the kettle. Wear protective
oven mitts and apron
When putting a lift-off cover on the kettle,
position it on top of kettle rim, with its flat edge
facing the pouring lip.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES AND HOT FOOD OR WATER
IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
When removing a lift-off cover:
a.Firmly grasp the handle, and lift the rear
edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5 cm)
to allow steam and water vapor to escape.
Wait 2-3 seconds.
b.Tilt cover to 45-60° angle to allow any hot
condensate or product to roll off cover back
into kettle.
c. Remove cover, ensuring that remaining hot
condensate or product does not drip on
operator, floor or work surfaces.
d.Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-the-
way surface, or return to kettle.
CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE WITH LIFT-OFF
COVER IN PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE
OFF, CAUSING INJURY TO OPERATOR.
2.Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert set (Tri-BC) will
assist in cooking water-boiled products including
eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and
rice. The nylon mesh liner must be used for
products smaller than the basket mesh size,
(approx. ¼” (6 mm). This includes rice and small
pasta shapes.
10
Page 11
a.Allow for displacement of the three baskets
and product. This may mean only half filling
the kettle. Test baskets and product
displacement with the kettle OFF, and with
cold water in the kettle.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN
COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING.
KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 cm)
BELOW THE KETTLE RIM TO ALLOW
CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING
AND SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE. DIRECT
CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
BURNS.
b.Load baskets on a level, stable work
surface.
c. Lift loaded baskets with both hands. Get
help from another person if the basket is too
heavy for safe handling.
d.Slowly lower product into kettle and securely
hook basket to the “Y” frame.
e.When removing baskets with cooked
product, lift straight up, ensuring basket
bottoms clear the kettle rim and pouring lip.
Wear protective oven mitts and protective
apron.
f.Allow hot water to fully drain from product,
before moving basket away from the kettle.
Do not rest baskets on kettle rim or pouring
lip. If baskets are too heavy for individual to
lift and safely move, get help. Remove
product immediately from basket into
another container, being sure to avoid
contact with hot product and hot basket or...
g.Place baskets with food on a stable, flat
surface, inside a solid steamer or bake pan,
to catch any remaining hot water draining
from product.
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 you cannot establish a
pilot flame in four tries, close all valves, turn off
the power, and contact an authorized Groen
Service Agency.
When the operator sets a temperature on the
3.
thermostat, it causes the automatic valve to
admit gas to the main burner, where it is ignited
by the pilot flame. When the kettle 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 kettle cools below the set
temperature, the thermostat switch closes and
starts another cycle. On and off cycling
continues and maintains the kettle at the desired
temperature. This action is indicated by the Heat
indicator light.
The kettle has the following safety features in
addition to the 90-second ignition timer:
Low water cutoff relay that will shut off gas

valve.
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to
help understand how the DHS kettle works.
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

Maintenance
NOTICE: Contact Groen or an authorized Groen Service Agent when repairs are required.
1.Periodic Maintenance
A 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:
The pressure gauge should show a
vacuum of 20 to 30 inches when the
kettle is cold.
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 RES ULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.
e.Keep the primary burner gas jet air inlets
free of dust and lint.
f.The pilot flame should be blue. It should
envelop about ½ inch (12 mm) of the flame
sensor tip.
g.The gear housing has fittings for lubrication
of moving parts. The gears do not run in oil,
so periodic lubrication with grease is
necessary.
h.Frequency of lubrication depends on
operating conditions, but it should be done at
least once every six months.
Check the pressure/vacuum gauge every day.
a.
The gauge should show a vacuum of 20 to 30
inches mercury (Hg), when the kettle is cold. If it
does not, see “Jacket Vacuum” on page 13.
b.Also check the jacket water level every day. It
should be in the middle of the sight glass. If the
level is low, see “Jacket Filling and Water
Treatment” on page 13.
c. Carefully test the pressure relief valve at least
twice each month. With the kettle operating at
five psi (105 kPa), pull the test lever and let it
snap back to its closed position. If there is little
discharge (mostly air), and the pressure gauge
drops back to zero PSI, allow the pressure to
build back to five PSI and repeat the procedure.
(Tip: Using a screwdriver or other implement to
pull the ring will help you avoid contact with the
steam.)
d.If the valve does not activate, or there is no
evidence of discharge, or the valve leaks, stop
i.Use a #2 grade LGI lithium grease to add
grease through Zerk fittings on gear housing
until it flows out of the bearings around the
trunnion shaft.
Add grease through Zerk Fittings.
12
Page 13
j.Place liberal amounts of grease on the gear
to cover the arc that is in contact with the
worm gear.
Liberally grease the wheel where it contacts the
worm gear.
k. Keep electrical wiring and connections in
good condition.
l.Keep the inside of the control console clean
and dry.
m. Keep burner slots clean.
and the pressure gauge should show a
reading of 20 to 30 inches mercury (Hg)
below zero. If it does not, or if the vacuum is
leaking down, contact a Groen authorized
service agency to correct the problem.
Jacket Filling and Water Treatment
3.
The jacket was charged at the factory with the
proper amount of treated water. You may need
to restore this water, either because it was lost
as venting steam or by draining. 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 “Water Treatment Procedure,” below.
Pressure Gauge
Safety Valve
Jacket Vacuum/Removing Air from Jacket
2.
When the kettle is cold, a positive pressure
reading on the pressure/vacuum gauge or a
reading near zero indicates that there is air in
the jacket. Air in the jacket acts as an insulator,
and slows kettle heating.
To remove air:
a.Start the unit. (Be sure there is water or
product in the kettle when heating).
b.When the pressure/vacuum gauge reaches
a positive pressure reading of five PSI,
release the trapped air and steam by pulling
up the safety valve ring for about five
seconds. Repeat this step three or four
times. Then let the pull ring snap back into
the closed position.
c. If there is little discharge (mostly air), and the
pressure gauge drops back to zero PSI,
allow the pressure to build back to five PSI
and repeat the procedure.
d.Once steam has been vented from the jacket
as described in b, above, remove the hot
water from the kettle and replace it with cold.
This will condense steam in the kettle jacket,
Pipe
Plug
Check
Valve
Test the safety valve at least twice monthly.
a. Allow the kettle to cool completely. The
procedure will be easier with the kettle under
vacuum ( pressure gauge reading below
zero).
b.Remove the pipe plug from the jacket fill
assembly. Pour in the distilled or treated
water. Using a funnel will help you in this
process. Hold the pressure relief valve open
while you pour, to let air escape from the
jacket. Continue adding water until the
13
Page 14
OMS-DHS
water level rises to the center of the round
sight glass.
c. Position a funnel in the opening and fill it
with properly treated water.
d.Air that gets into the jacket during the filling
operation must be removed, because it will
make heating less efficient. Follow the
procedure in Jacket Vacuum/Removing AirFrom Jacket above, to restore a negative
pressure reading.
WARNING
BEFORE REPLACING ANY PARTS,
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE ELECTRIC
POWER SUPPLY AND CLOSE THE MAIN GAS
VALVE. ALLOW FIVE MINUTES FOR
UNBURNED GAS TO VENT.
When component replacement involves breaking a
gas pipe connection, check the new connection with
soap solution or an appropriate leak detector. DO
NOT USE A FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
Water Treatment Procedure
4.
a.Obtain water treatment compound and a pH
test kit from your Groen Service Agent.
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW ALL
PRECAUTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE
WATER TREATMENT COMPOUND.
b.Fill a mixing container with the measured
amount of water required. (See table).
Distilled water is recommended.
Kettle Model
DHS-40, DHS/T-404 Gallons
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.
Approximate Jacket
Capacity
Internal wiring is marked as shown on the circuit
schematic drawings (inside control housing and in
this manual). Be sure that new components are
wired in the same manner as old components. An
examination of the circuit schematic shows that the
safety components are wired in series. In most
cases, a faulty component may be isolated with a
jumper wire to verify that the component is faulty. If
this determination is made, contact a certified Groen
Service Agency for assistance.
e.Stir the water continuously, while you slowly
add treatment compound, until the water has
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 test kit.
Caution: Do not add excess amount of
treatment compound. Excess amount could
cause extensive corrosion.
f.As you add water to the jacket, check water
level to ensure that it is in the middle of the
sight glass
g.Record the exact amounts of water and
treatment compound needed. These
amounts may be used again, if the same
water sources and compound are used.
However, it is best to check the pH each
time treated water is prepared.

Cleaning
1. Suggested Cleaning Supplies:
a.Cleaner, such as Klenzade HC-10 orHC-32
from ECOLAB, Inc.
b.Kettle brushes in good condition
c. Sanitizer such as Klenzade XY-12.
d.Film remover such as Klenzade LC-30.
Before cleaning, shut off the kettle by turning the
thermostat dial to “OFF,” and shut off all electric
power to the unit at a remote switch, such as the
circuit breaker.
WARNING
KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS AWAY FROM
CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
NEVER SPRAY THE SUPPORT HOUSING OR
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS .
c. Prepare a hot solution of the detergent/
cleaning compound as instructed by the
supplier. Clean the unit thoroughly. A cloth
moistened with cleaning solution can be
used to clean controls, housings, and
electrical conduits.
d.Model DHT only: Disassemble the tangent
draw-off valve. Clean the draw-off port and
each valve part with a brush.
CAUTION
DO NOT MIX PARTS OF DIFFERENT DRAWOFF VALVE ASSEMBLIES. THE PARTS ARE
NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE
SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, AND
CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN. WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES
OR FACE SHIELD, AND PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. READ THE WARNINGS AND
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL
OF THE CLEANER CAREFULLY
3. Procedure
a.Clean food-contact surfaces as soon as
possible after use. If the unit is in continuous
use, thoroughly clean and sanitize the
interior and exterior at least once every 12
hours.
b.Scrape and flush out food residues. Be
careful not to scratch the kettle with metal
implements. (For DHS/T models only: After
flushing the kettle, close the draw-off valve.)
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE A SANITIZER IN CONTACT WITH
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES LONGER THAN
30 MINUTES. LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE
CORROSION.
When attaching the draw-off valve, just handtighten the nut.
e.Rinse the kettle and draw-off valve parts
thoroughly with hot water, then drain
completely.
f.When you reassemble the draw-off valve,
hand-tighten the nut which holds it in place.
g.As part of the daily cleaning program, clean
soiled external and internal surfaces.
Remember to check the sides of the unit and
control housing, underside of cover, etc.
h.To remove burnt on foods, use a brush,
sponge, cloth, plastic or rubber scraper, or
plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To
reduce effort required in washing, let the
detergent solution sit in the kettle and soak
into the residue. Do NOT use abrasive
materials or metal tools that might scratch
the surface. Scratches make the surface
harder to clean and provide places for
bacteria to grow.
Do NOT use steel wool, which may leave
particles in the surface and cause eventual
corrosion and pitting.
15
Page 16
OMS-DHS
i.The outside of the unit may be polished with
a stainless steel cleaner such as “Zepper”
from Zep Manufacturing Co.
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.
k. Following the supplier’s instructions, apply
the agent after the unit has been cleaned
and drained. Rinse off the sanitizer
thoroughly.
NOTICE
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-Away 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.
