4 OM-DEE/4
The Groen DEE/4 is a floor-mounted, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with a
thermostatically controlled, selfcontained, electrically-heated steam supply and
appropriate controls, mounted on a sturdy base. The Model DEE/4 is available in 20,
40 or 60 gallon capacities.
The body of the DEE/4 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 pressures up to 345 kPa (50 psi). Kettle finish
is 180 emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside.
The kettle can be tilted with a hand crank to pour out its contents. Stainless steel
panels enclose the controls and the base. Four stainless steel, tubular legs support the
unit. Bullet feet on each of the legs can be adjusted to level the 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 65.5°C (150°F) and as high as 148°C (298°F) In
addition to the adjustable thermostat for operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off
switch, low water cut-off, safety valve, and high-limit pressure switch as safety features.
CE units have three lights on the Control Panel. The green POWER light comes on
when the unit is turned on. It indicates that power is being supplied to the unit. The
amber HEAT light comes on when heating elements are heating the kettle. The red
LOW WATER light will come on when water level in the jacket falls below acceptable
operating levels. Refer to the section on Jacket Filling and Water Treatment (Page 14).
A single electrical connection is required for installation. The unit may be ordered for
use with 230 VAC, 1 Phase, 50 Hz, or 400 VAC, 3 Phase, 50 Hz power.
