Installation & Start-Up
A. Installation
The unit should be installed in a ventilated room for efficient performance. All items which may obstruct or
restrict the flow of air for combustion and ventilation must be removed. The area directly around the appliance
must be cleared of all combustible materials.
WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT MUST BE DONE BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY
AND PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT. UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES.
1. Installation requires connection with gas and electrical services. See items 8 to 14 for details.
2. To protect the unit from damage, leave it on the shipping pallet until the time of installation. When
installation is to begin, cut the straps holding the kettle, and hoist the kettle straight up off the skid.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging parts of the burner system underneath the kettle, LIFT THE
UNIT ONLY BY THE RING beneath the outer portion of the body.
3. Install the unit with a minimum clearance to combustible and non-combustible construction of six (6)
inches at the sides and six (6) inches between the draft diverter and the
wall. Also leave enough room for cleaning, maintenance, and service.
4. The draft diverter shipped with the kettle is the correct height and shape to
give maximum performance. Install the draft diverter as shown on the
specification sheet (drawing D-6038). Do not change the diverter in any
way. Any mechanical, electrical, or gas type change must be
aDDroved bv the Groen Food Service Enaineerina Deoartment.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTACH THE UNIT TO A TYPE "B" VENT. FAILURE COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Install the unit under a ventilation hood, or vent the flue directly to a masonry chimney. Put a hood
at least several inches above the upper end of the draft diverter. Do not rest hood supports on the
diverter. If the kettle is installed under a ventilating hood, installation of the ventilating hood should
comply with local codes and/or ANSI/NFPA-96 Latest Edition. Also, local codes may require that
the kettle be electrically interlocked to shut off the gas supply and prevent the operation of the unit if
the exhaust fan is not operating or if the fire suppression system is activated. Failure to follow these
instructions can cause bodily injury and/or property damage.
5. To level the unit, adjust leg length by turning the bullet feet.
6. Make sure the water level is correct in the jacket, by confirming that the level is between the marks
on the gauge glass. If the water level is low, follow the instructions under "Jacket Filling" in the
"Maintenance" Section of this manual.
CAUTI0N: DO NOT CONNECT ANY PIPING TO THIS POP
SAFETY VALVE. IT MUST BE FREE TO VENT
STEAM AS NEEDED. ELBOW SHOULD POINT
DOWN TOWARD FLOOR. IMPROPER
INSTALLATION WILL VOID WARRANTY!
7. To protect personnel from steam coming out of the safety valve,
the open end of the elbow at the outlet must be directed down. If
it is not, turn the elbow to the correct position
DANGER: ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT AT THE
TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE TO GROUND
UNIT COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION
8. Provide 115 VAC, 60 HZ, 1 PH, 15 AMP electrical service. Use 1/2 inch waterproof conduit
and waterproof connections. Observe local codes and/or The National Electrical Code in
accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition. AN ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED.
The electrical schematic is located on the inside of the service panel.
In Canada, provide electrical service in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1
and/or local codes.
