Equipment Description
Groen Gas Heated Braising Pans provide a
stainless steel pan equipped with patented heat
transfer fins, burner/combustion chamber, hand-
operated tilting mechanism, thermostatic
controls, and hinged cover. The Braising Pan
serves as braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven,
kettle, bain-marie, or food warmer and server,
and it can be adapted for use as a steamer.
The pan body is made from heavy-duty stainless
steel welded into one solid piece, with a polished
interior and exterior. A pouring lip is welded to
the front wall. The cooking surface is a stainless
steel clad plate fitted with welded heat transfer
fins which assure uniform heat transfer over the
entire surface. The gas burner/combustion
chamber supplies the heat.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism
tilts the pan and provides precise control for
pouring or dumping the contents of the pan. This
hand-wheel controlled mechanism is located in a
stainless steel console to the right of the pan
body. To assist cleaning, the pan body can be
tilted past the vertical position. When the pan is
tilted, the burners shut off automatically.
The thermostat provides automatic control of
cooking temperature. Operating the thermostat
dial on the front of the control console turns the
heat on or off and sets the pan temperature.
A vented, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless
steel cover with a condensate drip shield on the
rear edge is standard on the Braising Pan. A fully
enclosed, spring type actuator counter-balances
the cover to keep it in either the opened or
closed position. The cover opens to the back
and is hinged to the frame, so it moves
independently of the pan body.
Models HFP/2E, and HFP/2 are mounted on an
open-leg frame fabricated from tubular stainless
steel.
Model HFP/2E has an ignition system that uses
electronic spark ignition. Optional model HFP/2
has a standing-flame pilot light that ignites the
main burner.

The unit is strapped to a skid, and shipped in a heavy
cardboard carton.
Inspection and Unpacking
The unit will arrive completely assembled,
wrapped in protective plastic on a heavy skid, in
a heavy cardboard carton. Immediately upon
receipt, inspect the carton for damage. Report
any apparent shipping damage or an incorrect
shipment to the delivery agent.
When installation is to begin, get someone to
assist in removing the carton. Lift it straight up
and away from the unit. Do not simply raise it
and push backwards - you will break the
cover assembly vent handle. Write down the
model number, serial number, and installation
date of your unit, and keep this information for
future reference. Space for these entries is
provided at the top of the Service Log in this
manual.
Cut the straps holding the unit on the skid, and
lift the unit straight up off the skid.
