The TDB and TDBC are table top, tilting, steam jacketed kettles with an electroni-
cally controlled, self-contained, electrically-heated steam supply and appropriate
controls, mounted on a sturdy base. Models are available in 20, 24, 40 and 48
quart capacity.
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 a design pressure of 50 PSIG. Kettle finish is 180
emery grit on the inside and bright semi-deluxe on the outside. A tilt handle on
the TDB kettle and a hand wheel crank on the TDBC kettle allows the operator to
manually tilt the kettle body in a controlled manner. Pouring height accepts pans
up to four inches high on a table top.
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 295°F.
In addition to the operating control, the unit has a tilt cut-off switch, low water
cut-off, pressure relief 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 or 480 volt power. All 208/240 volt kettles are wired for 208
volt, three-phase operation. For 240 volt, three-phase OR single-phase conversion,
see the wiring diagrams and installation instructions in this manual.
Options available include:
1. Kit, cover and holder (P/N 128609, 20/24 qt - P/N 139806, 40/48 qt).
2. One-piece, lift-off cover (P/N 128003, 20/24 qt - P/N 128002, 40/48 qt).
3. Holder for Lift-off cover (P/N 133837).
4. Basket insert (P/N 001159, 20/24 qt - P/N 001161, 40/48 qt).
5. Lip Strainer (P/N 005187, 20/24 qt - P/N 005186, 40/48 qt).
6. Stand that supports the unit and holds a pan in position for filling (Model TS/9).

      Melissa DayAug 31, 2025
      If the pressure relief valve on your Groen Kettle pops, check for air in the jacket. Verify the pressure switch setting and the temperature control operation, listening for a click when the dial is rotated above and below the kettle's temperature setting. Inspect the pressure relief valve; if it pops at pressures below 49 PSI, replace it. Also, check the contactor to determine whether it is energized.

    How to fix a Groen Kettle display that is not lit?
    • S
      Samantha RodriguezSep 5, 2025
      If the display on your Groen Kettle (Advanced & C2T models only) is not lit, ensure that the power supply is on. Check the fuses, accessible by removing the caps on the side of the control box. Look for loose or broken wires. Verify the temperature controller is functioning by listening for a click when the switch opens or closes and verifying the LEDs on the back of the board. Also, check that the contactor is functioning.
