Equipment Description
A. ALL MODELS
B. MODEL TDC/3
The Groen TDC/3 and TDA/1 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.
Optional features and equipment include:
• Higher maximum pressure • Kettle brush kit
• Lift-off covers • Steam trap assembly
• T5C table mounting • Motor-driven agitator
• Bracket inserts
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.
C. MODEL TDA/1
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.

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 and rigid surface. Recommended
mounting surface is 16 gauge (.060” thick) top with a lower reinforcement
of C4 structural channel. NOTE: Failure to install the kettle per above
recommendation may cause the steam piping to flex and leak, reduce seal life
and will void warranty.
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).
STANDARD PIPING
FOR TDC/3 & TDA/1
7. Any mechanical change must be approved by the Groen Service Department.
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.

1. Cover
As with stock pot cooking, an optional lift-off cover can speed up the heating
of water and food products. A cover helps retain heat in the cooking vessel and
reduces the amount of heat and humidity released into the kitchen. Use of a
cover can reduce some product cook times and help maintain the temperature,
color and texture of products being held or simmered for extended periods.
Make sure plastic ball handle is secure on the lift off cover before using. AL-
WAYS use the plastic handle to place or remove the cover from the kettle. Wear
protective oven mitts and a protective apron.
When putting the cover on the kettle, position it on top of kettle rim, with its flat
edge facing the pouring lip.
When removing cover:
a) Firmly grasp the plastic handle
b) Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5 cm) to allow any steam
and water vapor to escape the cooking vessel. Wait 2-3 seconds.
c) Tilt cover to 45-60° angle and allow any hot condensate or product to
roll off cover back into kettle.
d) Remove the cover, ensuring that any remaining hot condensate or prod-
uct does not drip on operator, floor or work surfaces.
AVOID CONTACT WITH STEAM AND HOT
CONDENSATE WHEN REMOVING A COVER.
e) Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out- of-the-way surface, or return to
kettle rim.

2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert (10 Quart and larger) can assist in cooking wa-
ter boiled products, including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and
rice. The nylon mesh liner must be used when cooking product smaller than the
mesh size of the basket, which is approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice
and small pasta shapes.
Allow for the water displacement of basket and product to be cooked. This
may mean only filling the kettle half full of water. Test the basket and product
displacement with the kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
a) Load basket on a level, stable work surface.
b) Lift the loaded basket with both hands. Get help from another person if
the basket is too heavy for safe handling.
c) Slowly lower product into kettle.
d) When removing basket with cooked product, lift the basket straight up,
ensuring that the bottom of the basket clears the rim and pouring lip of
the kettle. Wear protective oven mitts and a protective apron.
e) Allow hot water to fully drain from product before moving the basket
away from the kettle. Do not rest the kettle basket on the kettle rim or
pouring lip. If the basket is too heavy for one individual to lift and safely
move, get help from another person. Remove product immediately from
the basket into another container, being sure to avoid contact with hot
product and hot basket or. . .

g) To remove stuck materials, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or rub-
ber 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.
h) Do not use steel wool, which may leave particles in the surface and
cause eventual corrosion and pitting.
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. Drain and thoroughly rinse off the sanitizer.
l) It is recommended that each piece of equipment be sanitized just before
use.
m) If there is difficulty removing mineral deposits or a film left by hard water
or food residues, clean the kettle thoroughly and use a deliming agent,
such as Groen Delimer/Descaler (Part Number 114800) or Lime-Away®
from Ecolab, in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. Rinse and
drain the unit thoroughly before further use.
n) If cleaning problems persist, contact your cleaning product representa-
tive for assistance. The supplier has a trained technical staff with laboratory facilities to serve you.

Maintenance
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
USE OF ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS OTHER
THAN THOSE SUPPLIED BY GROEN OR AN
AUTHORIZED SUPPLIER WILL VOID ALL
WARRANTIES AND COULD INJURE THE
OPERATOR OR DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO
THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY
VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.
NOTICE: Contact Groen or an authorized Groen representative when
repairs are required.
A Maintenance and Service Log is provided at the back of this manual. 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. File the log with the warranty.
Periodic inspection will minimize equipment down time and increase the efficiency of
operation. The following points should be checked:
1) Once a day, with pressure in the jacket, check the operation of the safety valve.
Lift the lever of the safety valve until steam is released. Then release the
lever and let the valve snap shut. If the lever does not activate, or there is no
evidence of discharge, or the valve leaks, immediately discontinue use of the
kettle and contact a qualified Groen service representative.
2) At least once every 90 days, inspect fittings and valves for signs of damage
or wear. Regularly examine trunnion packings and valve seats for wear, and
replace them when necessary.
NOTE: Service performed by other than factory authorized personnel will void
all warranties.
3) Lubricate trunnions and gears with a good grade of high temperature grease.
Grease trunnions at least once every 60 days, and grease gears when
inspection shows that they are dry.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help the user understand the
function of the equipment.
When the steam inlet valve is opened, steam flows into the jacket at a pressure
determined by the boiler system or by the pressure reducing valve that serves the
kettle.
In the jacket, steam transfers heat to the kettle as it condenses into water. The steam
trap allows condensate (water) to leave the jacket, while it holds steam in. When the
steam is shut off, condensation produces a vacuum in the jacket, but the check valve
in the condensate return line keeps water from flowing back into the jacket.
