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.
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.

Figure 1
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 230V, 1-Phase 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.
6. Electrically protective earth ground the unit at the terminal provided (figure 1).
7. This unit is fitted with an equipotential terminal in accordance with national
regulations and CE directives. Locate this marking for equipotential terminal
connection (figure 2).
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 in this
manual. 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 Engineer (CE).
OPERATION
CAUTION: DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES AT A SETTING
HIGHER THAN 300°F (149°C). DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD RESULT.
WARNING: KEEP THE AREA AROUND BRAISING PAN FREE AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS.
CAUTION: KEEP FLOORS IN BRAISING PAN WORK AREA CLEAN AND DRY. IF SPILLS
OCCUR, CLEAN IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID THE DANGER OF SLIPS OR FALLS.
CAUTION: REPLACE THE HOLE PLUG BEFORE CLEANING OTHERWISE WATER COULD
ENTER THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL BOX AND DAMAGE THE PARTS.
Classic Control
Advanced Control
OPERATOR CONTROLS
1. Classic Control (-EC) Models
a. Lighted Power ON switch located on the control console. It controls main
power to the unit.
b. The temperature knob, located on the control console, is used to set the
pan temperatures between 175° (79°C) and 400°F (204°C).
c. Heating indicator light located on the control console, lights when the
controller energizes the heating elements and will cycle on and off once
the unit reaches set temperature. If the unit is tilted, the heating elements
will be disabled and the light will turn off until the unit is returned to the
cooking position.
