LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug equipment and cool the kettle. Drain contents and open the cover. Use mild detergent and a soft cloth to scrub the stainless steel liner; avoid abrasive pads. Rinse with potable water and dry with a lint-free towel. Clean the 2" TDO and 1/4" strainer to remove food particles. Wipe external stainless surfaces with a non-abrasive cleaner. Inspect seals and replace if worn. Regular cleaning reduces bacteria, fire risk, energy use, and equipment failure.#@@#Additional Info#@#Groen FT-40 40 Gallon 2/3 Jacket Direct Steam Kettle offers 40 gallons capacity with a 2/3 jacket, 316 stainless steel liner, 2" TDO, and 1/4" strainer for efficient cooking; tri-leg base and hinged cover support heavy-duty operations.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#

#@@# Kettle Capacity#@#
This unit provides a 40-gallon working capacity to handle large batches of soups, sauces, and stews without the need for repeated smaller runs. The large volume reduces labor cycles and minimizes staging time during peak service periods.
#@@# Jacketed Heating#@#
A two-thirds jacket surrounds the liner to deliver uniform heat transfer and faster cook times compared with single-point heating. Even heat reduces localized scorching and supports product consistency across full-volume loads.
#@@# Liner Material#@#
The cooking surface uses 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and enhanced cleanability in high-saline or acidic applications. Staff can complete washdown and sanitation protocols more quickly while maintaining product integrity.
#@@# Drain and Strainer#@#
A 2-inch TDO drain paired with a quarter-inch perforated strainer speeds discharge and retains solids when required for controlled filtration. Operators can perform fast turnovers and reduce downtime between batches.
#@@# Structural Base#@#
A tri-leg open base with flanged feet provides stable placement and accessible underside clearance for service and cleaning. Maintenance technicians can access valves and piping without full dismantling, lowering service time.
#@@# Cover and Pressure#@#
A hinged cover improves steam retention and operator safety during transfer, while the assembly supports operation at up to 25 PSI for efficient thermal transfer. Kitchens can maintain production schedules with reliable pressure control and reduced energy waste.
#@@#Delivery Details#@#

• Check if the product you have received has all the essential parts and accessories.
• Make sure to examine the product for damage before signing the delivery receipt.
• Contact customer service for delivery concerns.
• Delivery times may vary based on location.#@@#deliverynotes#@#NA#@@#Maintenance Guide#@#Inspect steam lines and valves daily for leaks and corrosion; tighten fittings and replace worn gaskets. Drain and flush the 316 stainless steel liner weekly to remove mineral buildup; use a manufacturer-approved descaler. Clean the 1/4" perforated strainer after each use and check the hinged cover. Lubricate tri-leg flanged feet fasteners quarterly and verify anchorage. Calibrate the 25 PSI regulator semiannually for consistent steam delivery.
