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.

OM-TD

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

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.

STANDARD PIPING FOR TDC/3, TDC/2, TDO/1, TDO and TD/2

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.

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.

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.

AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO ESCAPING
STEAM, WHICH CAN CAUSE SEVERE
BURNS.

WARNING

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.

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.

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.

Accessories

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. ALWAYS 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.

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.

CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN

Maintenance

NOTICE: Contact Groen or an authorized Groen representative when repairs are required.

OM-TD

Periodic Maintenance

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.

WARNING
WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO
THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE
SAFETY VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.

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.

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.

NOTE: Service performed by other than factory­authorized 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.

4. For TD/2 kettles, grease the tilting actuator
every 90 days. While the kettle is fully tilted,
add Calcium Complex No. 2 Grease at the
grease fittings.

NOTE: Use only Calcium Complex Nr. 2

Grease, which is available from Groen
(Part No. 93703).

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.

13

OM-TD
