Initial Start-Up
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. Confirm that the kettle tilts properly. Either turn the crank or use the handle to tilt
the kettle and return it to the upright position.
3. Turn on the electrical service to the unit by setting the power switch to the ON
position. The green POWER indicator lamp should light.
4. Pour two to four liters of water into the kettle.
5. Following “To Start Kettle” instructions in the “Operation” section of this manual,
begin heating the water at the highest thermostat setting. The HEAT (amber)
indicator light should come on immediately, and heating should continue until
the water boils. The HEAT indicator will cycle on and off as the heater elements
are cycled under control of the thermostat.
6. To shut down the unit, turn the thermostat dial to “O” and the power switch to
OFF.
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.
A simple turn of the thermostat controls the TDB
and TDBC kettle.
WARNING

UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS
MANUAL.

OM-TDB/TDBC-CE 9
Operation
CE units have three lights on the Control Panel. The POWER (green) indicator light
comes on when the the unit is turned on. It indicates that power is being supplied
to the unit. The HEAT (amber) indicator light comes on when heating elements are
heating the kettle. The LOW WATER (red) indicator light will come on when the water
level in the jacket falls below acceptable operating levels. Refer to “Jacket Filling and
Water Treatment” on Page 13.
TO START KETTLE
1. EVERY DAY make sure that the jacket water level is above the mid-point of the
round sight glass. If the level is low, service is necessary.
2. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show 20 to 30 inches of
vacuum (i.e., a reading of 20 to 30 below 0) or a reading of -0.7 to -1.0 Bar, see
“Jacket Vacuum” on page 12.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit by switching the power switch to the ON
position.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired setting. The HEAT indicator light indicates
that the kettle is heating, and cycling of the light on and off indicates that the
kettle is being held at the set temperature. Once in each cycle the contactors in
the support housing will make a clicking sound. This is normal.
TO TRANSFER PRODUCT OR EMPTY KETTLE
The kettle is designed and manufactured to be tilted in a controlled manner. On those
units equipped with a tilt handle, grasp the insulated plastic ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip
on handle when tilting, while keeping kettle body in a tilted position and when SLOWLY
returning the kettle body to an upright position. On those equipped with crank tilt, turn the
handle. The kettle will remain in the position to which tilted until cranked again.
COMMON ACCESSORIES
1. Lift Off 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 the handle is secure on the lift off cover before using. ALWAYS use
the handle to place or remove 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.
When removing cover:
a. Firmly grasp the handle.
b. Lift rear edge (farthest from operator) 1-2” (3-5 cm) to allow any steam
and water vapor to escape the cooking vessel. Wait 2-3 seconds.
c. Tilt cover to 45-60° angle and allow any hot condensate or product to roll
off cover back into kettle.
d. Remove 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-the way surface, or return to
kettle rim.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN CONTACT
COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.

CAUTION
KEEP FLOORS IN FRONT OF THE KETTLE WORK
AREA CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS OCCUR,
CLEAN AT ONCE TO AVOID SLIPS OR FALLS.
2. Basket Insert
An optional kettle basket insert can assist in cooking water-boiled products
including eggs, potatoes, vegetables, shell fish, pasta and rice. The nylon mesh
liner must be used when cooking product smaller than the mesh size of the
basket, which is approximately 1/4” (6 mm). This includes rice and small pasta
shapes.
TIPS FOR USE:
a. Allow for the water displacement of the basket and product to be cooked.
This may mean only filling the kettle half full of water. Test the basket and
product displacement with the kettle OFF, and with cold water in the kettle.
b. Load basket on a level, stable work surface.
c. Lift the loaded basket with both hands. Get help from another person if the
basket is too heavy for safe handling.
d. Slowly lower product into kettle.
e. When removing basket with cooked product, lift basket straight up,
ensuring bottom of basket clears the rim and pouring lip of the kettle. Wear
protective oven mitts and protective apron.
f. Allow hot water to fully drain from product, before moving basket away
from the kettle. Do not rest kettle basket on kettle rim or pouring lip. If
basket is too heavy for individual to lift and safely move, get help from
another person. Remove product immediately from basket into another
container, being sure to avoid contact with hot product and hot basket or
g. Place basket with food on stable, flat surface, setting it inside a solid
steamer or bake pan, to catch any remaining hot water draining from
product.
CAUTION
DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN
COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING.
KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 5-8 CM (2-3”)

SURFACE, AS CLOSE TO KETTLE AS POSSIBLE.
4) STAND TO RIGHT OF KETTLE WHILE
POURING—NOT DIRECTLY IN POUR PATH OF
HOT CONTENTS.
5) POUR SLOWLY, MAINTAINING CONTROL
OF KETTLE, AND RETURN KETTLE BODY TO
UPRIGHT POSITION AFTER CONTAINER IS
FILLED OR TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.
6) DO NOT OVERFILL CONTAINER. AVOID SKIN
CONTACT WITH HOT CONTAINER AND ITS
CONTENTS.
CAUTION
DO NOT TILT KETTLE BODY WITH COVER
IN PLACE. COVER MAY SLIDE OFF,
CAUSING INJURY TO OPERATOR.

OM-TDB/TDBC-CE 11
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help understand how the kettle
works.
When the operator starts up the kettle by turning on the power switch and the
operating the thermostat dial from “O” to a desired setting, the thermostat switch
closes. This lights up the HEAT indicator light and causes the contactors to close,
allowing power to flow to the heating elements. When the temperature of the steam
jacket reaches the value corresponding to the dial setting, the thermostat switch
opens. This turns off the HEAT 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 the set point, the thermostat switch closes, the HEAT indicator
light comes on, the contactors close, and the heaters come on again. On-off cycling
continues, keeping the kettle at the set temperature. This is why the heating indicator
light cycles on and off during normal operation. Every time the kettle is tilted, a tilt cut-
off switch interrupts the power supply to the heaters, so that the heating elements will
not operate while not submerged in the jacket water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSI (3.45 Bar/345 kPa) is generated in the jacket,
the pressure relief valve will open and relieve the excess pressure.
If the jacket water level gets too low and the heating elements overheat, the high-limit
control will open, shutting off power to the elements until the kettle cools.
Setting the operating thermostat dial to “O” shuts down the heating circuits. Setting
the power switch to the OFF position removes power from the control circuits.

Maintenance
NOTICE: Contact an authorized representative when repairs are required.
A Maintenance & Service Log is provided at the back of this manual. Each time
maintenance is performed on your 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 down time and increase the efficiency
of operation. The following points should be checked:
1. Periodic Maintenance
BY OPERATOR
a. Check the pressure/vacuum gauge every day. The gauge should show a
vacuum of 20 to 30 inches of Mercury or a range of -0.7 to -1.0 Bar, when
the kettle is cold. If it does not, see “Jacket Vacuum” on page 12.
b. Also check the jacket water level each day. It should be above mid point
of the round sight glass. If the level is low, see “Jacket Filling and Water
Treatment” on page 13.
BY SERVICE TECHNICIAN
c. Test the safety valve at least twice each month. Test the valve with the kettle
operating at 15 PSI (1 Bar/105 kPa), by pulling up the test chain for at least
five seconds. Then release the chain and let the valve snap shut. If the valve
does not activate, (there is no evidence of discharge, or the valve leaks)
stop using the kettle immediately and contact a qualified Groen service
representative.
d. The inside of the support housing should be kept clean.
e. At least twice a year, grease the two trunnion bearings. The bearings are
located within the kettle support housing. Remove the access panels from
the support housing with a screwdriver to gain access to the grease fittings.
Use a lithium-based, multi-purpose grease. When the access panels are
removed, the mounting bolts for the trunnion bearings and tilt switch can also
be checked for tightness.
f. On the crank-tilt models, the gear housing has fittings for proper lubrication
of moving parts. Because the gears do not run in oil, periodic lubrication
with grease is necessary. Frequency of lubrication will depend on operating
conditions, but the service should be performed at least once every six
months.
Add grease through the Zerk fittings on the gear housing until you see
grease flow out of the bearings around the trunnion shaft. Also place a liberal
amount of grease on the gear to cover the arc that is in contact with the
worm gear. When finished, reassemble access panels to support housing.
Electrical wiring should be kept securely connected and in good condition.
2. Jacket Vacuum
When the kettle is cold, a positive pressure reading or a reading around zero on
the pressure/vacuum gauge indicates the presence of air in the jacket. Air in the
jacket slows down the heating of the kettle.
TO REMOVE AIR:
a. Start the unit. (See the “Operation” section of this manual.) (Be sure there
is water or product in the kettle when heating).
WARNING
WHEN TESTING, AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO
THE STEAM BLOWING OUT OF THE SAFETY
VALVE. DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT
IN SEVERE BURNS. DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
POWER FROM THE KETTLE BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO GREASE THE TRUNNION
BEARINGS.
Test the safety valve at least twice each month.
The pressure gauge should show a vacuum of
20 to 30 inches when the kettle is cold.

OM-TDB/TDBC-CE 13
Maintenance
WARNING
BEFORE REPLACING ANY PARTS,
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE ELECTRIC
POWER SUPPLY.
b. When the pressure/vacuum gauge reaches a positive pressure reading of
5 PSI (0.35 Bar/34.5 kPa), release the trapped air and steam by pulling up
on the safety valve for about 1 second. Repeat this step, then let the chain
snap back into the closed position.
3. Jacket Filling and Water Treatment
The jacket was charged at the factory with the proper amount of treated distilled
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.
TO FILL JACKET WITH WATER:
a. If you are replacing water lost as steam, use distilled water. If you are
replacing treated water that ran out of the jacket, prepare more treated
water as directed in step 3, “Water Treatment Procedure”.
b. Remove fill plug with open-end wrench or crescent wrench.
c Open shutoff valve (turn handle 90° on ball valve).
d. Use a funnel and add water to jacket.
e Check water level in jacket, by viewing water level indicator glass.
f. Continue to add water until the water level indicator glass is 3/4 full.
g Close shutoff valve, and install fill plug. Follow procedure in “Jacket
Vacuum” to remove air from kettle jacket.
4. Water Treatment Procedure
a. Obtain water treatment compound and a PH test kit from your authorized
Groen parts distributor.
b. Fill the mixing container with the measured amount of water required. (See
the table at right). Use distilled water.
c. Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of the container, with about 25 mm
of the strip below the surface of the water.
d. Measure the water treatment compound you will be using. (One way to do
this is to add the compound from a measuring cup.)
e. 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 of the test strip with the color chart
provided in the pH test kit.
f. 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. For optimum
performance, use correctly treated, distilled water.
5. Component Replacement
Wiring is marked as shown on the schematic drawings. Be sure new
components are wired in the same manner as the old.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
Groen models TDB(C) are stainless steel, steam jacketed, table mounted, tilting kettles
with a self-contained, electric-heated steam source. The kettle body is welded into
one piece and furnished with a reinforced bar rim and welded “butterfly” pouring lip.
The interior of the kettle is polished to a 180 emery grit finish, and the exterior is given
a bright semi-deluxe finish. The unit is ASME shop inspected and registered with the
National Board for working pressures up to 50 PSI (3.5 Bar/345 kPa). Kettle support,
tilting mechanism, and controls are contained in an enclosed base. Tilting is provided
by a self-locking, worm-and-gear device, or by a tilt handle.
Charged at the factory with treated, distilled water, the steam source provides
kettle temperature of 150°F (66°C) to 295°F (146°C). Controls for the unit include
a thermostat, pressure gauge, gauge glass, safety valve, pressure limit control, low
water cut-off and an on/off switch.
Service connections are required for 230 Volt, single phase, 50/60 Hz, and 400 Volt,
three phase, electricity. IMPORTANT: Prior to operation, clean out the kettle pan
thoroughly using hot water and detergent. Rinse out and dry thoroughly.

Operational & Maintenance Safety
OPERATION
1. Initial Operational Readiness Check
After the TDB(C) Kettle has been installed according to service and installation
instructions, perform initial start-up as a test, to ensure that the unit is operating
correctly.
a. Remove all literature and packing material from the interior and exterior of
the unit.
b. Make sure electricity supply is switched on.
c. Ensure that the kettle is filled with water.
d. Check the water level in the jacket. The level should be between the lines
on the gauge glass. If the level is low, the jacket water level will be required
to be topped up. (This will require a service call).
e. Check the pressure gauge. If the gauge does not show sufficient vacuum
(20 to 30 below zero) or -0.7 to -1.0 Bar, then the jacket will require
venting. (This will require a service call).
f. Switch the power switch to the “On” position. The POWER lamp will
illuminate.
g. Turn the thermostat dial to the required setting. The HEAT lamp will
illuminate.
2. To Shut Down Kettle
a. Turn the thermostat dial to the “O” position.
b. Switch the power switch to the OFF position.
c. For a prolonged shut down, turn the electricity mains off.
Follow steps a and b.
3. Filling the Kettle
Prior to operation, thoroughly clean the kettle using hot water and detergent.
Kettle capacities:
Model Maximum Capacity Recommended
Capacity
TDB(C)-20 18.9 liters 16 liters
TDB(C)-24 22.6 liters 19 liters
TDB(C)-40 37.6 liters 32 liters
TDB(C)-48 45.3 liters 38 liters
To prevent surge boiling, no more than 80% of the maximum capacity should be
used.
4. Users Thermostat
Provides automatic control of the Kettle Jacket temperature at settings up to
295°F (146°C) maximum.
5. 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 “O” to a desired setting, the thermostat switch
closes. This lights up the heating indicator light and causes the contactors to
close, allowing power to flow to heating elements.
WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT MUST BE DONE
BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH
ELECTRICITY AND PLUMBING IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
BEFORE REPLACING ANY PARTS,
DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE ELECTRIC
POWER SUPPLY. TO PREVENT SHOCKS, ALL
APPLIANCES WHETHER GAS OR ELECTRIC,
MUST BE EARTHED.
CAUTION
BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ,
UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW THE OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
WARNING
AVOID CONTACT WITH THE FLUE. SURFACES
ARE VERY HOT AND WILL CAUSE BURNS. DO
NOT OBSTRUCT FLUE OPENING.

OM-TDB/TDBC-CE 17
Operational & Maintenance Safety
When the temperature of the steam jacket reaches the value corresponding to
the dial setting, the thermostat switch opens. This 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 the set
point, the thermostat switch closes, the heating indicator light comes on, the
contactors close, and the heaters come on again. On-off cycling continues,
keeping the kettle at the set temperature. This is why the heating indicator light
cycles on and off during normal operation. Every time the kettle is tilted, the tilt
cut-off switch interrupts the power supply to the heaters, so that the heating
elements will not operate while not submerged in the jacket water.
If steam pressure greater than 50 PSIG (3.5 Bar/345 kPa) is generated in the
jacket, the safety valve will open and relieve the excess pressure.
If the jacket water level gets too low before the heating elements overheat, the
high-limit control will open and shut off power to the elements until the kettle
cools.
Setting the operating thermostat dial to “O” shuts down the heating circuits.
Setting the power switch to the OFF position removes power from the control
circuits.
6. To Empty Kettle
TDB(C) KETTLES WITH CRANK TILT
To tilt the body of the kettle forward, turn the hand crank on the front of the
cabinet anti-clockwise. The body will stay in the position it holds when you stop
turning the handle. To return the body to the upright position, turn the crank
clockwise.
TDB(C) KETTLE WITH TILT HANDLE
The kettle is designed to be tilted in a controlled manner. Grasp the insulated
plastic ball firmly. Maintain a firm grip on the handle when tilting, while keeping
the kettle body in a tilted position, and when slowly returning the kettle body to
an upright position.
7. Power Failure
If the power to the unit fails do not attempt to operate the appliance until the
electricity supply is reestablished. When the power comes back on follow the
steps in “Initial Kettle Operational Readiness Check.”
WARNING
DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF THE KETTLE
BODY WHEN TILTING IT. BE CAREFUL TO
KEEP HOT CONTENTS FROM SPILLING.
ENSURE PEOPLE ARE KEPT AWAY FROM
THE KETTLE WHEN EMPTYING THE KETTLE.
