Equipment Description
The Groen TDB and TDBC are table top, tilting,
steam jacketed kettles with a thermostatically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated
steam supply and appropriate controls, mounted
on a sturdy base. Models TDB and TDBC are
available in 20 or 40 - quart capacity.
The body of the TDB and TDBC 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 a design pressure
of 50 PSIG. Kettle finish is 180 emery grit on the
inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside. A
tilt handle on the TDB kettle and a handwheel
crank on the TDBC kettle allows the operator to
manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled
manner. Pouring height accepts pans up to four
inches high on a table top.
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 as high as
295°F. In addition to the adjustable thermostat
for operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off
switch, low water cut-off, pressure relief valve,
and high-limit 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 may be ordered for use
with 208/240 or 480 volt power. All kettles are
wired for 208 volt, three-phase operation. For
240 volt, three-phase OR single-phase
conversion, see the wiring diagrams and
installation instructions in this manual.

Inspection & Unpacking
The unit will arrive in a heavy shipping carton
and will be attached to a skid. Immediately upon
receipt, inspect the carton carefully for exterior
damage.
CAUTION
SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION
AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT. TAKE
CARE TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT BY STAPLES LEFT
IN THE WALLS OF THE CARTON.
Carefully cut the polyester straps around the
carton and detach the sides of the box from the
skid. Pull the carton up off the unit.
Thoroughly inspect the unit for concealed
damage. Report any shipping damage or
incorrect shipments to the delivery agent.
Write down the model number, serial number,
and installation date, and retain this information
for future reference. Space for these entries is
provided at the top of the Service Log at the
back of this manual. Keep this manual on file
and available for operators to use.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT WEIGHS 140 TO 163 LB. (64 TO
74 KG). INSTALLER SHOULD OBTAIN
HELP AS NEEDED TO LIFT THIS WEIGHT
SAFELY.
When installation is to begin, carefully cut the
straps which hold the unit on the skid. Lift the
unit straight up off the skid. Examine packing
materials to be sure loose parts are not
discarded with the materials.
For TDB units, attach the tilt handle (normally
shipped inside the kettle) by carefully threading it
into the socket on the trunnion support. Be
careful to avoid cross-threading the fine threads
on the trunnion.
NOTE: After handle installation on the right hand
side, retain the hardware supplied with the unit
for left hand installation.

Installation
The Groen Kettle is provided with complete
internal wiring. It is ready for
immediate connection. A wiring
diagram is provided in this
manual and on the inside of the
control housing service panel.
Any mechanical or electrical
changes must be approved in by
Groen’s Food Service Engineering Department.
WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THE KETTLE MUST BE
DONE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR
GROEN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE
QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT
IN INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
The completed unit has been operated at the
fa
ctory to test all controls and heater elements.
1. Set the kettle in place and level it. The
base should be securely fastened to a
table or work surface. Four 3/8”-16 N.C.
threaded couplings are provided in the
base of unit. Installation under a ventilation
hood is recommended.
2. Once the unit is anchored to a mounting
surface, apply a small bead of silicone
caulk around the perimeter of the kettle
base and seal the joint.
3. Provide electrical power as specified on
the electrical information plate attached to
the equipment. Observe local codes
and/or The National Electrical Code in
accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70 - (current
edition).
4. Standard equip
ment is shipped ready for
208V, 3-phase or 480V, 3-phase
operation. Refer to the wiring diagram
located on the inside cover of the control
box and the instructions below for
conversion to single-phase operation. A
jumper wire and “conversion” label are
included with the unit. They can be found
in a plastic bag attached to the trunnion
assembly inside the control box.
CAUTION
BEFORE ANY ELECTRICAL CONVERSION,
VERIFY THAT THE BRANCH CIRCUIT
WIRING IS ADEQUATE TO HANDLE ANY
INCREASE AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS.
REFER TO THE ELECTRICAL
SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BELOW.
a. For conversion from 208V, 3-phase to
208V or 240V 1-phase O
R 480V,
3-phase to 480V, 1-phase:
i. Verify that the branch circuit wiring is
adequate for any increased
amperage requirements (see table
on page 8).
ii. For 240V 1-phase only, enlarge
electrical inlet opening for 1" conduit
fitting. Use a 1" sealtite conduit
fitting.
iii. Refer to wiring diagram for field
conversion.
iv. For 240V 1-phase only
, pull lead
from 208V tab on control
transformer and insert on 240V tab
(See Photo #1).
v. Complete “conversion label”
(supplied in bag) and adhere it to the
control box near the UL dataplate.
b. For conversion from 208V, 3-phase to
240V, 3-phase:
i. Verify that the branch circuit wiring is
adequate for any increased
amperage requirements (see table
on page 8).
ii. Pull lead from 208V tab on control
transformer and insert on 240V tab.
(See Photo #1)
iii. Complete “conversion label”
(supplied in bag and adhere it to the
control box near the UL dataplate).

Photo #1
Pull lead from 208V tab and insert on 240V tab.
c. For conversion from 480V, 3-phase to
460V, 3-phase:
i. Verify that the branch circuit wiring is
adequate for any increase
amperage requirements (see table
on page 8).
ii. Complete “conversion label”
(supplied in bag and adhere it to the
control box near the UL dataplate).
5. Bring incoming electrical service through
the conduit fitting (for 240V 1-phase, a
new one inch conduit fitting is required) at
the rear of the support housing, making a
watertight connection with the incoming
lines. A BX style connection is not
recommended.
DANGER
ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT AT
THE TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE TO
GROUND UNIT COULD RESULT IN
ELECTROCUTION AND DEATH.
6. Confirm that the jacket water level is at or
just above mid point of sight glass (new
models). If the level is low, follow the
instructions under “Jacket Filling and
Water Treatment” in the “Maintenance”
section of the manual.
7. Ensure that the open end of the elbow on
the outlet of the pressure relief valve is
directed downward.

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 the unit is operating
correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing
materials from inside and outside of the
unit.
2. Turn on the electrical service to the unit.
3. Pour 1-2 quarts of water into the kettle.
4. Following “To Start Kettle” instructions in
the “Operation” section of this manual,
begin heating the water at the highest
thermostat setting. The heating indicator
light should come on immediately, and
heating should continue until the water
boils.
5. To shut down the unit, turn the thermostat
dial to “OFF”.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE.
