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

d) Remove the cover, ensuring that any
remaining hot condensate or product does

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.
