INSTALLATION
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THE KETTLE MUST BE DONE BY A CERTIFIED
ELECTRICIAN OR AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE QUALIFIED TO WORK
WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO
PERSONNEL AN/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
CAUTION: ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT AT THE TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE
TO GROUND THE UNIT COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION AND DEATH. DO
NOT FORCE THE PLUG OR ALTER IT TO OVERRIDE GROUNDING FEATURES.
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 by Groen’s Food Service
Engineering Department.
1. Set the kettle in place and level it.
2. Provide electrical power as specified on the electrical information plate
attached to the equipment. Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical
Code in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70 - (current edition).
3. Confirm that the jacket water level is at the middle of the sight glass. If the
level is low, use the following procedure for adding water:
a. If you are replacing water lost by evaporation, use distilled water. To
replace treated water that ran out of the jacket, prepare more treated
water as described in Water Treatment, Page 10.
b. Remove the plug from the elbow.
c. Add water or treated water through the elbow, until the water level rises to
the middle of the sight glass. Note that added water must raise the level in
the whole jacket, so a substantial amount of water will be needed to make
a small change in the level.
d. Replace the plug in the elbow. Follow instructions under “Jacket Filling
and Water Treatment” in the “Maintenance” section of this manual.
