The Groen TDB/7 is a table t op, tilti ng, steam
jacket ed kettle with a ther m ostatica lly controlled,
self-contained, electrica lly -heat ed steam supply a nd
appropriate cont rols, m ounted on a st urdy ba se. The
Model TDB/7 is avai labl e in 20 or 40 - quar t capacity.
The body of th e TDB /7 Kett le is con structed of
stain less steel , welded in to one solid piece. Th e
kettle is furnished with a reinforced rim and a
butter fl y shaped pouri ng lip. It has a st eam jacket
rated for worki ng pressur es up to 50 PSI. Kettle
fin ish i s 180 em ery grit on the i nside an d 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 a table top.
A built-in steam generator , siz ed for the ket tle
capacity and heated by electrici ty, delivers steam
into the jack et. “Airl ess” operation of the st eam
jacket permits uniform , efficient h e ating at
temperat ures as low as 150°F and as high as 295°F.
In addition to th e adjust able thermostat for operating
control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch, low water
cut-off, safety valv e, and high-limit pressure swit ch
as safety features. A heating indicator light,
pressure gauge, and sight glass are pr ovided for
monitor ing kett le operation.
A single electrical connection is required for
insta lla tion. The uni t may be ordered for use wi th
208/240 or 480 volt power. All kettles are wired for
three- phase opera tion. For single-phase conver sion,
see the wiring diagrams in this manual.

Sequen ce o f Op er ati o n
The fol lowing “a ction-reaction” outline is provided
to help the user understand how the equipment
works.
When the operat or start s up the k ettle by tur ning
the opera ting th ermostat dial from “OFF” to a
desir ed setti ng, th e thermostat switch closes.
This lights up the heating indicator light and
causes the contactors to close, allow ing power
to flow to heating elements. When the
temperatur e of the st eam jacket r eaches the
value corresponding to the dial setting, the
thermostat switch opens. Thi s turns off the
heating indicator light and causes the contactors
to open, stopping the power to the heaters. As
soon as the thermostat senses that the kettle is
cooling below t he set point, the thermostat
switch closes, the heati ng indicator light comes
on, th e contact ors close, and the heater s com e
on again . On-off cyclin g contin ues, keeping the
kettle at the set temperature This is why th e
heating indicat or light cycl es on and off du ring
normal operation. Every time the kettle is tilted,
the tilt cut- off switch int errupts t he power supply
to t he heat ers, so that the heati ng element s will
not operate w hile no t submerged in th e jacket
water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSI is
generated in the jacket, the safety valve will open
and relieve the excess pressur e.
In the event that the jacket water level gets too
low and the heating element s overhea t, t he high limit control will open and shut off power to t he
elements until the kettle cools. Setting the
operating ther m ostat dia l to “OFF” sh uts down al l

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

information. Each time maintenance is
perform ed on your G roen kett le, enter the
date on which t he work was done, w hat was
done, and who did it. Keep this manual on
file and avai labl e for operators to use.
Periodic inspection will minimize equipment
down time a nd incr ease the effici ency of
operation. The following poi nts shou ld be
checked:
[BY OPERATOR]
a. Check t he pressur e/vacuum gauge every
day. The gauge should show a vacuum
of 20 to 30 inches, when the ket tle is
cold. If it does not, see “Jacket Vacuum”
on page 10.
month. Test the valve with the kettle
operating at 15 psi (105 kPa) , by holdi ng the
test lever for a t least 5 seconds. Then
release the lever and let the valve snap shut.
If the lever does not activate, or ther e is no
evidence of discharge, or the v alve leaks,
immediately discont inue use of the kettle and
contact a qualified Groen service
representative.
WARNING
WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE
TO THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE

COULD RESULT IN SEVER E BURNS.
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER FROM
THE KETTLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
GREASE THE TRUNNION BEARINGS.

At least twice a year, grease the two
trunnion bearings. The bearings are located
within the kett le support h ousing. R em ove
the access panels from the support housing
with a screwdriver to gain access to the
grease fittings. Use a lithium-based, multipurpose grease. When the access panels
are removed, the mounting bolts for the

checked for t ightness. When finished,
reassemble access panel s to support

When the kett le is cold, a positive pressur e
reading or a reading around zero on the
pressure/ vacuum gauge indicates th e
presence of air in the jack et. Ai r in the jack et
slows down the h eating of the kett le.
To remove air:
a.Start the unit. (See the “Operation”
section of this manual.) (Be sure there is
water or product in the kett le when

4. Water Treatment Procedure
WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY, READ AND FOLLOW
ALL PRECAUTIONS STATED ON THE
LABEL OF THE WATER TREATMENT
COMPOUND.
(1) Fill the mixing container with the
measured amount of water required.
(See t he tabl e at right) . Dist ill ed water is
recommended.
(2) Hang a str ip of pH test pa per on the rim
of the container, with about 1 inch of the
str ip below the sur face of th e water .
(3) Measure the water treatment compound
you will be using. (One way to do this is
to add the compound from a measuring
cup.)
(4) Stir the water continuously, while you
slowly add water t reatment compound,
until t he water r eaches a pH between
10.5 and 11. 5. Judge the pH by
frequ ently com parin g the col or of the test
str ip with th e color chart provided in the
pH test kit. Color blind people mi xing the
treated water solution must use an
electroanalytical instrument to measure
the pH level or have a person that is not
color blind read the test strip color level.
(5) Record the ex act amount s of water and
tr eatment com pound 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 i s advisa ble to check t he pH
