Groen Eclipse BPM-30E, Operator'S Manual

Page: 5 / 36

Equipment Description
The Groen BPM-E is a stainless steel, electrically
heated Braising Pan which is equipped with
integrated heating elements, a hand operated or
motor powered tilting mechanism, electrical
controls and a hinged cover. The Braising Pan
serves as a braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven,
kettle, bain-marie, or food warmer and server. It
can also be adapted for use as a non-pressure
steamer.
The pan body is constructed of heavy-duty
stainless steel, welded into a solid piece. It has a
polished interior and exterior finish. A pouring lip
is welded to the top of the front wall. The cooking
surface is a stainless steel clad plate fitted with
clamped-on electrical heating elements. The
elements are positioned to ensure uniform heat
transfer over the entire surface.
Models BPM and BPP are mounted on an open-
leg frame which is fabricated from tubular stainless
steel. Models MW/BPM and MW/BPP are
designed to be wall-mounted with side support
arms and a back-splash. They do not have legs.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts
the pan body and provides precise control for
pouring or dumping its contents.
This tilting mechanism is located in a stainless
steel console to right of the pan body. For power
tilt units a three position switch on the front of the
control console gives the operator positive,
smooth-acting control of tilt. To facilitate cleaning,
the pan body can be tilted past the vertical
position.
Heating elements and other electrical components
are enclosed for safety. The thermostat, heating
indicator light and tilting switch are contained in a
compact control console which is mounted to the
right of the pan body.
The thermostat provides automatic control of
cooking temperature. Turning the thermostat dial
starts and stops heating and sets the pan
temperature. Only one electrical connection is
required to install the unit.
A vented, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless steel
cover with a rear condensate drip shield on the
underside is standard on the Braising Pan. A fully
enclosed torsion bar-type counter-balance
provides easy operation to open the cover to
maintain it open at any position. The cover opens
to the back. It is hinged to the frame, so it moves
independently from the pan body.
