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
a. For best braising 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
o
F
or less for 15 minutes or through
several on-off cycles of the burner.
WARNING
DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE
THAN FIVE MINUTES AT A SETTING
HIGHER THAN 300
o
F. DAMAGE TO THE
PAN COULD RESULT.
C.
Cooking
1. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the
dial at about 210
o
F or lower. Put the
cover down to keep moisture loss at a
minimum, or leave the cover up to help
dry the product. Set the thermostat
higher to cook or drive off moisture
faster. You may adjust the thermostat to
any setting in the thermostat range to
cook the item exactly as required.
2. Leave the cover vent open to let excess
steam escape. For long simmering
operations, you may wish to close the
vent.To check cooking progress when
the cover has been closed, grasp the
plastic handle of the vent cover, lift it
slightly, and move it quickly to either
side.
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.
4. To pour or dump product, remove
grease, or assist cleaning, first raise the
cover, then tilt the pan up and forward by
pressing down on the power tilt switch.
When you release the switch, the pan
body will hold its position.
WARNING
IF THE PAN CONTAINS ITEMS IN SAUCE OR
MELTED FAT, THEY CAN SLIDE FORWARD
SUDDENLY DURING TILTING AND SPLASH
OUT THE HOT LIQUID.

Cleaning
After each use, turn the thermostat to "OFF"
and clean all food-contact surfaces to
maintain proper sanitation. At the end of
each day or at least once every 12 hours,
turn off the heat and shut off the electric
power to the unit, then clean both the interior
and the exterior of the pan. See page 11 for
cleaning instructions.
Sequence of Operation
The following "action-reaction" outline is provided to help the user understand the functioning of
the equipment.
A. Model NHFP
When the operator presses down the
knob on the Combination Gas Control
Valve and turns it to "PILOT", gas from
the supply line is admitted to the pilot
burner. Depressing the knob in this
position overrides the automatic control,
which otherwise shuts off the gas supply
when the thermopile is cold.
