INSTALLATION
WARNING: THE UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO
WORK WITH ELECTRICITY AND PLUMBING. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN
CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT. THE
UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES. THE
UNIT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER WHEN INSTALLED
WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
WARNING: ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT AT THE TERMINAL PROVIDED. FAILURE
TO GROUND UNIT COULD RESULT IN ELECTROCUTION AND DEATH. BEFORE
ANY ELECTRICAL CONVERSION, VERIFY THAT THE BRANCH CIRCUIT WIRING
IS ADEQUATE TO HANDLE ANY INCREASE IN AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS.
REFER TO THE ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BELOW.
Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied
complete. When you receive the unit, it is
ready for connection. A wiring diagram is
located inside the control box on the right side
of the pan, as well as in this manual.
Your pan was performance-tested at the
factory to confirm that all controls and heating
elements were functioning correctly.
Installation is as follows:
1. Set the unit in place and level it by turning the adjustable feet. Crank the pan
body to a completely horizontal position. Check levelness by placing a spirit
level on the bottom of the pan. The unit must be level to avoid uneven cooking
across the pan.
2. Make a waterproof connection with the incoming power line at the electrical
service entrance at the bottom of the connection box at rear of control console.
A BX connection is NOT recommended. ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT at
the proper terminal.
3. Provide the proper electrical supply as specified on the electrical information
plate. Comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
7- latest edition.
4. Use only copper wire, rated at least 75ºC and of proper gage. See chart below.
5. Standard equipment is shipped ready for 208V, 240V, or 480V, 3-phase
operation. Refer to the wiring diagram located on the inside cover of the control
box and the instructions below for conversion to single-phase operation.
A jumper wire and “conversion” label are included with the unit. They can be
found in a plastic bag attached to the trunnion assembly inside the control box.
6. For conversion from 3-phase to 1-phase
a. Verify that the branch circuit wiring is adequate for any increased
amperage requirements. (See table on above)
b. 1-phase requires two jumper wires. One jumper wire exists on the
terminal block for 3- phase input. The second jumper wire is located in a
plastic bag inside the control box.
c. Attach jumper wires to terminal block as per wiring diagram for 1 phase
supply.
d. Complete “conversion label” (supplied in bag) and adhere it to the control
box near the UL data plate.
7. Core probe storage bracket (C2T models only)
a. It is recommend that the core probe storage bracket be installed on the
control console. It is not recommend that the core probe storage bracket
be installed on the pan or cover.
b. To obtain proper adhesion, the bonding surface must be unified, clean and
dry. Clean the bonding surface with rubbing alcohol and allow the surface
to dry. Next firmly apply pressure to the storage bracket to help improve
bond strength. After application, the bond strength will increase as the
adhesive flows onto the surface. At room temperature, approximately
50% of the ultimate strength will be achieved after 20 minutes, 90% after
24 hours and 100% after 72 hours.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use only copper wire rated for 75°c or higher; Gauge recommendations (AWG) are
for 25’ runs from the breaker box (if longer runs are required, increase wire size
accordingly).

INITIAL START-UP
WARNING: WATER IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. AVOID
CONTACT WITH HOT WATER WHEN EMPTYING UNIT.
CAUTION: ALWAYS RAISE PAN COVER BEFORE TILTING TO AVOID DAMAGING THE
HINGE AND COUNTERBALANCE.
Now that your braising pan has been installed, you should test it to ensure that the
unit is operating correctly.
1. Remove literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of the
unit.
2. Put enough water into the pan to cover the bottom to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch
(6 to 13 mm). With the pan body in the horizontal position, note how the water
lies in the pan, to confirm that the pan was leveled properly during installation.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4. Set the temperature controller to 235°F (113°C) using instruction on page 10.
The heating indicator light should come on to show that the pan is heating.
Heating should continue until the water boils.
5. To shut the unit down, turn off the electrical power to the unit.
6. When the water has cooled to a safe temperature, turn the tilting handwheel
clockwise to pour out the water and to confirm that the pan body can be tilted
smoothly from horizontal to vertical. For power tilt models, push the UP/DOWN
switch to confirm operation of tilting system.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact
your local Authorized Service Agency (Domestic) or Engineer (CE).
