Equipment Description
The Groen TDB/6 is a table top, tilting, steam
jacketed kettle with a thermostatically controlled,
self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply
and appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy
base.
The body of the TDB/6 Kettle is constructed of
stainless steel, welded into one solid piece. The
kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a
butterfly shaped pouring lip. It has a steam jacket
rated for working pressu
finish is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright
semi-deluxe on the outside. A tilt handle allows
the operator to manually tilt the kettle body in a
controlled manner. Pouring height accepts pans
up to 4 inches high on the table top.
res up to 50 PSI. Kettle
A built-in steam generator, sized for the kettle
capacity and heated by electricity, delivers steam
into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam
jacket permits uniform, efficient heating at
temperatures as low as 150°F and a
295°F. In addition to the adjustable thermostat for
operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch,
low water control, safety valve, and pressure
switch as safety features. A heating indicator
light, pressure gauge, and sight glass are
provided for monitoring kettle operation.
A single electrical connection is required for
installation. The unit employs single phase 208 or
240 volt power.

A simple turn of the thermostat controls the
Groen TDB/6 Kettle.
The operator controls kettle heating with the
thermostat dial. The dial turns heating element
electric power on or off and sets the operating
temperature of the kettle.
To Start Kettle
A.
1. EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket
water level is between the marks on the
gauge glass. If the level is below the lower
mark, see “Jacket Filling and Water
Treatment” on page 13 of this manual.
2. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge
does not show 20 to 30 inches of vacuum
(
that is, a reading of 20 to 30 below 0),
see “Jacket Vacuum” on page 12 of this
manual.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit, the
contactor will energize and the Indicator Light
will illuminate.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired
temperature setting. The kettle will then
heat to that set point temperature.
B. T o Transfer Product or Empty Kettle:

D. Use of Common Accessories
1. Lift Off Cover.
As with stock pot cooking, an optional lift off
cover can speed heating of water and food
products. It helps retain heat in the cooking
vessel and reduces the heat and hu
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

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 product does
not drip on operator, floor or work
surfaces.
e) Place cover on safe, flat, sanitary, out-of-

2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert can assist in
cooking boiled products, including eggs,
potatoes, vegetables, shellfish, pasta and rice.
The nylon mesh liner must be used when
cooking products smaller than the mesh size of
the basket, (approximately ¼” (6 mm) such as
rice and small pasta shapes.
Tips For Use.
a) Allow for water displacement of basket
and product. This may mean only filling the
kettle half full of water. Test basket and
product displacement with the kettle OFF,
and with cold water in the kettle.

Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to
help the user understand how the equipment
works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning
the operating thermostat dial from “OFF” to a
desired setting, the thermostat switch closes. This
lets power flow to the heater element. When the
temperature of the steam jacket reaches the value
corresponding to the dial setting, the thermostat
switch opens. This turns off the heating element.
lig

thermostat senses that the kettle is cooling below
the set point, the thermostat switch closes
and the heaters come on again. The heating
element will cycle ON/OFF continually to maintain
the kettle set temperature.
f) Allow hot water to fully drain from pr
before moving the basket away from the
kettle. Do not rest kettle basket on the
kettle rim or pouring lip. If basket is too
heavy, get help from another person.

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

lling up on the safety valve ring for
about 1 second. Let the pull ring snap
back into the closed position. Repeat this
step immediately after the gauge again
reads five PSI.
WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE T O THE STEAM
BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY VALVE.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.

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 the water to its proper level,
either because water was lost as steam
during venting or because treated water was
lost by draining.
If you are replacing water lost as steam,
a.
use distilled water. If you are replacing
treated water that ran out of the jacket,
prepare more treated water as directed
in step 4, ìWater Treatment Procedure.î
CAUTION
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ST EP [3b] VERIFY
THAT THE PRESSURE GAUGE SHO WS
ZERO OR A VACUUM. IF THE GAUGE
SHOWS A READING HIGHER THAN ZERO
PS IG, RELIEVE T HE P RE SSURE BY
CAREFULLY PULLING THE SAFETY VALVE
RING.
b. Allow the kettle to cool completely. Turn
the elbow on the safety valve
counterclockwise (to avoid thread
damage) until the opening of the elbow
faces upward.
a. Place one quart of water in the mixing
container
recomm ended.
b. 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.
c. Measure the water treatment compound
(Groen part number 11 0324) you will be
using. (One way to do this is to add the
compound from a measuring cup.)
d. Stir the water continuously, while you
slowly add water treatment compound,
until the water reaches a pH between
10.5 and 11.5. Judge the pH by
frequently comparing the color o
strip with the color chart provided in the
pH test kit. If you have difficult matching
colors, use an electro-analytical device to
check, or ask another person to help you.
e. Record the exact amounts of water and
treatment compound used. These
amounts may be used again, if the same
sources of water and compound are
employed to refill the jacket in the future.
However, it is advisable to check the pH
every time treated water is prepared.
. Distilled water is
f the test
c. Open the safety valve and pour the water
or treated water in at the elbow until the
water level rises to a point bet
marks on the gauge glass.
CAUTION
BEFORE YOU HEAT THE KET TLE F OR ANY
PURPOSE, TURN THE ELBOW CLOCKWISE
UN T IL T HE OPE NING AGAIN FACES
DOWNWARD.
d. Air introduced to the jacket during the
filling o peration must be removed to
obtain efficient heating. See ìJacket
