STEAM JACKETED KETTLE
MODELS DEE/4(T)-20/40/60(C,A,C2T™)
DOMESTIC
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The DEE/4 is a floor-mounted, tilting, steam jacketed kettle with an electronically
controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appropriate con-
trols, mounted on a sturdy base. The kettle is available in 20, 40 or 60 gallon
capacities.
The body of the 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 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 electric-
ity, delivers steam into the jacket. “Airless” operation of the steam jacket permits
uniform, efficient heating at temperatures as low as 150°F and as high as 298°F.
In addition to the electronic temperature control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch,
low water cut-off, safety valve, and high-limit pressure switch as safety features. A
heating indicator light, pressure gauge, and sight glass are provided for monitoring
kettle operation.
A single electrical connection is required for installation. The unit may be ordered
for use with 208/240, 400 or 480 volt power. All kettles are wired for three-phase
operation. Single-phase units are also available.
Options available include:
1. 2” or 3” diameter tangent draw-off (product valve) (factory installed)
2. Lift-off, hinged and power-assist covers
3. Water fill faucets
4. Basket cooking system
5. Kettle brush kit
6. Gallon etch marks (factory installed)

      If the safety valve on your Groen Kettle leaks a small amount of steam during operation: * Check for contamination preventing the valve from seating properly. With full pressure in the jacket, briefly pull the lever all the way to blow the valve clean, then let the lever snap back to seat the valve. * Inspect the safety valve for defects and replace any defective valve with an identical one.
