Equipment Description
A. All Models
The Groen TDC/3, TDC/2, TDO/1, TDO, TDA/1
and TD/2 are tilting, table-top kettles with direct
steam-heated jackets. The one-piece stainless
steel body on each includes a butterfly shaped
pouring lip. The kettles have a 180 emery grit
interior finish and a bright semi-deluxe exterior
finish.
Every unit requires a remote steam source. The
steam supply is controlled by an inlet valve, and
enters the jacket through one support and rotary
joint. Condensate leaves the jacket through the
other rotary joint and support. Standard units are
ASME shop inspected, stamped, and registered
with the National Board. These kettles operate
efficiently at pressures above five PSI. A safety
valve, strainer, steam trap, and check valve are all
required for installation, and may be ordered from
Groen as optional equipment.
B. Model TDC/3
The TDC/3 kettle has a 2/3 jacket rated for
working pressures up to 55 PSI. The kettle body
incorporates a triple reinforced rim. Two tubular
steel supports support the swivel on which the
kettle tilts. A leg projects from the bottom of the
kettle.
The design of the TDC/3 makes it easy for one
person to tilt the kettle with the tilting handle, even
when the kettle is full.
C. Model TDC/2
The TDC/2 resembles the TDC/3, except that the
kettle rests on a chrome plated base with arms,
and has a maximum operating pressure of 45
PSI.
D. Models TDO and TDO/1
The TDO and TDO/1 Oyster Cookers have a
special purpose kettle body and supports similar
to those of the TDC/2 and TDC/3, with a tilting
handle.

E. Model TDA/1
The TDA/1 kettle incorporates a triple reinforced
rim and a 2/3 jacket registered for working
pressures up to 50 PSI. Two chrome-plated
arms support the trunnions on which the kettle
tilts. The arm that also serves as the steam inlet
has an integral steam control valve.
F. Model TD/2
The TD/2 kettle has a 2/3 jacket rated to operate
at pressures up to 50 PSI. Two stainless steel
legs support the trunnion. A crank-operated
gear mechanism is used to tilt the kettle and to
hold it in position.

The inlet valve may be located anywhere on the cabinet top or face but not through the
face casting. The illustrated sleeve is designed to simplify valve installation by
allowing the valve to shift off center by 1/4", if necessary. This should be enough to
allow for thread take-up and misalignment.
*Accessories available from Groen as options. Piping is to be supplied by the
installer.
Installation
WARNING
THIS UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH
PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL
AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
1. Installation under a ventilation hood is
recommended. Consult local codes.
2. Install and anchor the kettle on a level
rigid surface.
3. If the steam supply pressure is greater
than the maximum working pressure
stamped on the nameplate, you must
install a pressure reducing valve in the
steam supply line near the kettle.
4. Connect the steam supply line to the
steam inlet fitting. Include a steam
control valve and an appropriate safety
valve. To obtain the full heating
capability of the kettle, the steam
supply line must be as large as the
steam inlet fitting.
5. The safety valve is preset to relieve
jacket pressure that exceeds its rated
limit. Do not try to adjust the valve
setting, and do not allow the valve
outlet or lever to be blocked.
6. Connect the kettle condensate return
line to the boiler return line, or to a
drain. A suitable steam trap, strainer,
and check valve must be installed.
(See piping diagram, below).
7. Any mechanical change must be
approved by the Groen Food Service
Engineering Department.

Initial Start-Up
IMPORTANT
BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS,
CAUTIONS, AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
Now that the kettle has been installed, you
should test it to ensure that it is operating
correctly.
1. Remove all literature and
packing materials from inside
and outside of the unit.
2. Pour a small amount of water
into the kettle.
3. Open the steam inlet valve.
4. When the water begins to boil,
inspect all of the fittings to
ensure that there are no leaks.
5. Check the safety valve by lifting
its lever far enough to let steam
escape. Then let it snap back
into place to reseat the valve so
that it will not leak.
6. Shut down the unit by closing
the steam inlet valve.
WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING
STEAM, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS.
7. Operate the tilting mechanism to
confirm that this feature
functions through the whole
range of normal operation.
If the unit functions as described above, it is
ready for use. If the unit does not function as
intended, contact your local Groen Certified
Service Agency.
Operation
To heat the kettle, open the steam inlet valve.
Adjusting the valve allows you to control the
heating rate. Opening the valve more allows
steam to flow into the jacket faster, and heats
the product faster.
The kettle operates efficiently at pressures from
five PSI to the maximum working pressure for
which the kettle was designed. The maximum
pressure is stamped on the kettle nameplate.
WARNING
AVOID EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING STEAM,
WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
Tilting
To transfer product or empty the kettle: the kettle
is designed and manufactured to be tilted in a
controlled manner. Grasp the insulated plastic
ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip on handle when
tilting, while keeping the kettle body in a tilted
position and then SLOWLY returning the kettle
body to an upright position.
A. TDC/3, TDC/2, TDO. TDO/1 and
TDA/1:
Pull the handle forward to tilt the kettle,
backward to return the kettle to upright
position.
B. TDA
The tilting handle on this older model is
spring-loaded to latch the kettle in
position. To tilt the kettle, pull up on
the tilting handle to release the latch,
