Turning the main power “OFF” shuts down all control and heating circuits.
The heating is controlled by alternating between feeding full power and completely
cutting power off. The pan heats as fast as it can until it reaches the set temperature,
no matter what that temperature is. Turning the dial to a higher setting will cause
heating to continue longer, until the pan reaches a higher temperature, but it
cannot make the pan heat any faster.
Manual tilt models, turning the hand wheel rotates a shaft, which turns a gear
wheel on one of the trunnions supporting the pan body. Turning the gear produces
the tilting action.
Power tilt models, pushing the up/down switch operates a gear motor which turns
shaft and gear wheel as described above.
For all braising pans, the power to the heaters is cut off when the pan is tilted
past a slight inclination of 10° degrees. It is acceptable to cook with the pan tilted
forward at a small angle (about 5 - 7 degrees) to let liquids collect to front of pan
or allow them to drain out of the draw off valve.
CLEANING
WARNING: KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT USE A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO CLEAN THE CONTROL
CONSOLE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ETC.
CAUTION: MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS
MEMBRANES AND CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO WEAR
RUBBER GLOVES, GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
CAREFULLY READ THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE
LABEL OF THE CLEANER TO BE USED.
WARNING: BEFORE ANY CLEANING OPERATION, TURN THERMOSTAT DIAL TO “OFF”
TO CUT ANY POWER TO THE HEATING ELEMENTS. BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OTHER THAN THE INSIDE OF THE PAN, DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY AT CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX.
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES. LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE
CORROSION.
CAUTION: KEEP CAUSTIC COMPOUNDS SUCH AS FRYER BOILOUT CLEANERS
AWAY FROM ALUMINUM PARTS OF THE LID HINGE SYSTEM AND THE
COUNTERBALANCE ASSEMBLY. HIGHLY CAUSTIC COMPOUNDS COULD
DAMAGE THIS MATERIAL.
Use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or
rubber scraper, or plastic wool to clean.
Don’t use metal
implements or steel wool.
BRAISING PAN
1. Suggested Tools
a. A good stainless steel cleaner
b. Brushes in good condition
c. Cloth for cleaning controls
d. Chlorine sanitizer
e. Heavy Duty Cleaner (if required)
2. Procedure
1. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after use. It is best to clean the pan
before it has completely cooled. If the unit is in continuous use, completely
clean and sanitize both the inside and outside at least once every 12 hours.
2. To remove any large amount of food left in the pan, tilt the pan all the way
up and flush it with lukewarm water. Do not damage the surface of the pan
by scraping it with a metal tool. Scratches make the surface more difficult to
clean, and provide ideal breeding places for bacteria.
3. Following the supplier’s directions, make up a warm solution of the cleaner.
Carefully wash the inside and outside of the pan body with the cleaning
solution.
4. Use a cloth moistened with cleaning solution to clean controls, the control
console, and electric conduit.
5. Rinse the pan very well with lukewarm water, and drain it completely.
6. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean all inside and outside surfaces that
may have been soiled. Remember to check such parts as the undersides of the
cover, the electrical console and other more remote spots. Clean between the
pan body and the consoles using a brush.
7. Controls and the control console may be cleaned with a damp cloth or sprayed
with a garden hose spray connected to city water supply. Do not use a pressure
sprayer directly on the unit or electrical parts.
8. To remove materials stuck to the equipment, use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic
or rubber scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To make washing
easier, let the cleaning solution sit in the unit and soak into the residue, or
heat the solution briefly. Do not use any gritty cleaner or metal tool that might
scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface harder to clean, and also
provide places for bacteria to grow. Do not use steel wool. Small bit of steel
wool left in the surface of the unit can cause rusting and pitting.
9. The outside of the unit may be polished with a recognized stainless steel
cleaner such as Zepper from the Zep Manufacturing Company.
10. When the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution equivalent
to one that supplies 100 parts per million available chlorine. Get advice about
the best sanitizing agent from you supplier of sanitizing products.
11. Following supplier instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after the unit has
been cleaned and drained. Thoroughly drain off the sanitizer.
12. After the unit has been cleaned, sanitized and drained, let all surfaces air dry
unless the unit must be used again right away.
13. It is recommended that the unit be sanitized just before use. Follow the
directions of the sanitizer supplier.
14. About once a week (more often if the water is very hard), use a heavy duty
cleaner to remove any mineral deposits or film left by hard water or foods.
Follow the supplier’s directions very carefully, and rinse the unit off thoroughly,
as soon as cleaning is finished.
15. If especially difficult cleaning problems persist, contact your cleaning product
supplier for help. The supplier has a trained technical staff with laboratory
facilities to serve you.
CLEANING CORE PROBE
Remove all food soil from core probe by wiping entire core probe and cable
assembly with warm detergent solution and a clean cloth. Remove detergent
solution by wiping core probe and cable assembly with clean rinse water and a
cloth. Allow core probe and cable assembly to air dry. Do not immerse core probe.
Hand wash only and immediately let air dry.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: ELECTRIC POWER ALWAYS SHOULD BE SHUT OFF BEFORE WORK IS DONE
ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE UNIT BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO GREASE THE TRUNNION BEARINGS.
Your braising pan is designed to require minimum maintenance, but certain parts
may need replacement after prolonged use. After installation, no user adjustment
should be necessary. If a service need arises, only authorized personnel should
