3 OM-EE
The Groen cooker/mixer is provided with complete internal wiring. It is ready for
immediate connection. The completed unit was operated at the factory to check
the controls, mixer and jacket heater.
Any mechanical or electrical changes must be approved in by Groen’s Food Service
Engineering Department.
1. Set the kettle in place and level it by turning the bullet feet to adjust leg length.
Allow clearance around the unit for cleaning, maintenance and service.
2. Confirm that the jacket water level is above the mid point of the gauge glass.
If the level is low, follow the instructions under “Jacket Filling and Water
Treatment”.
3. The open end of the elbow on the outlet of the safety valve must face
downward. If it does not, turn it to the correct position.
4. Provide electrical power specified on the equipment electrical information
plate. Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical Code in accordance
with ANSI/NFPA 70 - (current edition).
5. The equipment is shipped ready for three phase operation. Refer to the wiring
diagram for single phase operation.
6. Bring in the electrical supply through opening on control housing that is
located below the thermostat dial. An opening is provided for 1-1/4” (35 mm)
conduit fitting.
Water tight, 90° elbow connection is recommended. Incoming power
connections are made at the terminal block.
Observe local codes and/or the National Electrical Code in compliance with
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). When there is a choice between applicable
codes, Groen recommends following the more stringent code. (A BX connection
is not recommended.)
7. Electrically ground the unit at the terminal provided.
8. Check the following to confirm that your kettle is properly installed:
• Room for cleaning and servicing
• The kettle is level
• The correct amount of water is in the kettle jacket
• Safety valve is pointed down
• Unit is connected with a waterproof electric power supply of the proper
voltage, phase and amperage rating

INITIAL START-UP
IMPORTANT: BE SURE ALL OPERATORS READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW THE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, CAUTIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.
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.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
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. Clean out any material which might clog or damage the draw-off (product
outlet).
3. Install the draw-off valve (packed separately) by sliding the assembly into the
tangent and hand-tightening the large stainless steel nut.
3. Turn on the electrical service to the unit.
4. Pour water into the kettle until it is about six inches deep (150 mm).
5. Test draw-off valve operation by opening it all the way, then closing it before
all the water runs out.
6. 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. Each day, confirm the jacket water level by checking the water
gauge.
7. To shut down the unit, turn the thermostat dial to “OFF”.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If the unit does not
function as described, contact your local Groen Certified Service Agency.
OPERATION
WARNING: OPEN THE KETTLE LID CAREFULLY TO AVOID STEAM WHICH MAY ESCAPE.
DIRECT 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.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL THE KETTLE WHEN COOKING, HOLDING OR CLEANING.
KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 CM) BELOW THE KETTLE RIM TO ALLOW
CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING AND SAFE PRODUCT TRANSFER.
WARNING: AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE KETTLE.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BURNS.
The operator controls kettle heating with the thermostat dial. The dial turns heating
element power on or off and sets the kettle operating temperature.
