Trouble Shooting Section of this manual do
not correct the problem, you can tilt the body
manually.
a. Fit the provided hand crank onto the
slotted shaft end that protrudes from
the actuator motor (the end facing the
front of the unit).
b. Turn the crank clockwise to lower the
pan or counterclockwise to raise the
pan.
c. Manual cranking will take several
minutes, but the operation can be
speeded up by using a reversible
electric drill with a screwdriver bit in
place of the hand crank.
D. To Shut Down Pan
Turn the thermostat to “OFF” to stop heating
element operation. For prolonged shutdown,
or before maintenance or cleaning, also cut
off power to the unit at the main circuit
breaker or fuse panel.
E. Daily Cleaning
After each use, turn the thermostat to “OFF”
and clean all food contact surfaces to ensure
proper sanitation. At the end of the day, or
at least once every 24 hours, turn off the
heat and shut off electric power to the unit
and clean both the interior and exterior of the
pan.
See Page 9 for detailed cleaning
instructions .
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided
to help you understand how the braising pan
actually functions.
When you start up the pan by turning the
thermostat from “OFF” to a desired temperature,
the thermostat switch closes. This causes the
contactors to close, and allows power to flow to
the heating elements and the indicator light.
When the pan temperature reaches the value
set on the thermostat dial, the thermostat switch
opens and causes the contactors to open. This
stops the flow of power to the heating elements
and the indicator light.
As soon as the thermostat senses that the pan is
cooling below the set temperature, the
thermostat closes, the contactors close, and the
heaters and indicator light come on again.
This on and off cycle continues, maintaining the
pan at the set temperature. This is why the
indicator light on and off cycling is seen during
normal operation.
If the pan temperature exceeds 425ºF for any
reason, a high-limit thermostat shuts off the
power until the pan cools. At that point, the
thermostat automatically resets to permit normal
operation to start again.
Turning the thermostat to “OFF” shuts down all
control and heating circuits.
The thermostat controls heating 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
thermostat 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 .
The power tilt switch controls a reversible motor
that drives a ball screw mechanism. When the
switch is held in the lowered position, the
mechanism raises the pan body. The body rests
on a trunnion near the front corners, so it tilts
forward until the switch is released or the body
reaches its vertical limit.
If the tilting motor gets too hot during operation,
an overheat protection switch will open and stop
the motor. When the motor has cooled
sufficiently, the switch will automatically reset
and permit tilting to begin again.
