b. To Turn Off Pan -
1. Set the temperature dial to “OFF”.
2. Set Power Switch to “OFF.”
3. For a prolonged shut-off period:
A. Turn the main gas valve OFF (handle at right angles to the gas
pipe).
B. Disconnect the electrical power from the unit.
c. If Power Fails -
1. Do not try to operate the unit until power is restored.
2. When power is restored, follow directions under “To Start Pan.”
3. For Advanced Control (-GA) Models with Electronic Ignition
a. To Start Pan (See Panel Overlay) -
1. Set the Power switch to “OFF”
2. Open the main supply gas valve (handle parallel to the gas pipe).
3. Set Power switch to “ON”; Unit will begin to spark and show SET TnnP
in display
4. Press either LOW TEMP, MANUAL or HIGH TEMP buttons to select a
temp setting. The heat light will come on to indicate that the main
burner is lit.
b. To Turn Off Pan –
1. Set Power Switch to “OFF”.
2. For a prolonged shut-off period:
A. Turn the main gas valve OFF (handle at right angle to the gas
pipe).
B. Disconnect the electrical power from the unit
c. If Power Fails –
1. Do not try to operate the unit until power is restored.
2. When power is restored, follow directions under “To Start Pan”.
4. To Move a Unit on Casters
The unit must be anchored with a cable or chain to avoid accidentally breaking
or pulling loose the gas connection. When the unit is to be moved, first turn off
and disconnect the gas connection.
Disconnect the cable from its anchor point on the floor or wall. Anchor the unit
again as soon as it is in its new operating location or returned to the previous
location. Turn on the gas supply and check for leaks with a soap solution. If
leaks are found, do not operate the equipment. Call for service.
5. To Preheat the Pan
The unit must be anchored with a cable or chain to avoid accidentally breaking
or pulling loose the gas connection. When the unit is to be moved, first turn off
and disconnect the gas connection.
a. For best braising pan or frying results, preheat pan before you put in any
food.
b. To get an even temperature across the pan, preheat at a setting of 300°F
(149°C) or less for 15 minutes or through several on-off cycles of the
burner.
COOKING
1. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the dial at 210°F (99°C) or lower. Put the
cover down to minimize moisture loss, or leave it up to help dry or reduce the
product. Set the thermostat higher to cook or drive off moisture faster. You may
adjust the thermostat to any setting to cook the item exactly as required.
2. Standing to one side of the pan (to avoid the steam that will be released) grasp
the nearer corner of the cover handle and raise the cover. The cover will stay
in the open position until you push it down.
3. To pour product, remove grease, or assist in cleaning, first raise the cover, then
tilt the pan forward by turning the tilting handwheel. When you stop turning the
wheel, the pan body will hold its position.
NOTICE
: It is recommended that an instant-read thermometer be used to check the
internal temperature throughout the cooking process and after the cooking process
has been completed to ensure the food has been cooked sufficiently.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help understand how the
braising pan works.
1. When the power switch is turned on, it starts the spark igniter and opens the
automatic valve for the pilot burner. The spark ignites a pilot flame, which
heats the sensor. The sensor then sends a signal to turn off the spark. The
flame thereafter acts as a standing pilot until the power is turned off.
2. If the pilot flame is not sensed within 70 seconds after spark begins, a timer
shuts down the entire operation. To attempt a second trial for ignition, turn off
the power switch. Check the gas supply valves and wait five minutes before
trying again by switching power on. If there is still no pilot flame in four tries,
close all valves, turn off the power, and contact an authorized Service Agency.
3. When the operator sets a temperature on the controller, it allows the automatic
gas valve to admit gas to the main burners, where it is ignited by the pilot
flame. When the braising pan reaches the set temperature, the relay switch
opens. This stops the signal to the gas control valve and shuts off gas to the
main burner. The pilot flame remains lit. When the pan cools below the set
temperature, the relay switch closes and starts another cycle. On and off
cycling continues and maintains the pan at the desired temperature.
This action is indicated by the Heat indicator light.
4. The controller controls heating by alternately calling for flames at the full
capacity of the main burners and then signaling the control to shut the burner
off completely. Because the control works in this “all or nothing” way, the
pan heats as fast as it can until it reaches the set temperature. Turning the
temperature dial to a higher temperature will cause heating to continue longer,
until the pan reaches the higher temperature, but it cannot make the pan heat
any faster.
5. The pans are protected from overheating by a secondary thermostat. If the pan
temperature rises above 425º F (218°C), the thermostat causes the automatic
gas control valve to close. When the pan cools, the thermostat automatically
resets and permits normal operation to continue.
6. The tilt switch will shut off all burners whenever the braising pan is tilted 10
degrees or more from the horizontal.
7. A gas pressure regulator, which controls gas pressure at the burner manifold
is built into the gas control valve.
8. On manual tilt models, turning the tilting handwheel turns a worm gear, which
turns a gear wheel on one of the trunnions which support the pan body.
Turning the gear wheel produces the tilting action.
9. On power tilt models, pressing the up/down switch operates a gear motor
which turns worm and gear wheel as described in item 8 above.
NOTE: Neither model will heat (operate) when the braising pan has been tilted 10
degrees or more from the horizontal.
