4. Cook2Temp™ Control (-EC2T™) Core Probe
a. Ensure the core probe has been properly cleaned and sanitized before
each use.
b. It is important that the tip of the core probe be placed correctly into
the product since only the tip of the core probe senses the product
temperature. Do this by inserting the core probe halfway into the product,
positioning the tip at the center of the food mass, avoiding any bones.
If placing into a semi-liquid or liquid product, occasionally stirring the
product will ensure an accurate core probe reading. Do not let the core
probe tip touch the edges, bottom or side of the unit.
c. If the core probe is not plugged into the receptacle when either the AUTO
C2T or MANUAL C2T button is pressed then an audible alarm along with
a core probe error message will notify the user that attention is required.
Simply plug the core probe into the receptacle and continue with the input
process.
d. If the core probe is unplugged from the receptacle during the cooking
process or while in Hold Mode an audible alarm along with a core probe
error message will notify the user that attention is required. Simply plug
the core probe back into the receptacle and the cook process or Hold
Mode will continue.
e. While the core probe is not in use ensure the sealing cap is properly
protecting the panel mount connector. Failure to properly use the sealing
cap could result in damage to the unit.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
WARNING: WHEN TILTING BRAISING PAN FOR PRODUCT TRANSFER:
1) USE CONTAINERS DEEP ENOUGH TO CONTAIN AND MINIMIZE PRODUCT
SPLASHING.
2) PLACE CONTAINER ON A STABLE, FLAT SURFACE, AS CLOSE TO THE
BRAISING PAN AS POSSIBLE.
3) STAND TO THE SIDE OF THE PAN WHILE POURING — NOT DIRECTLY IN
THE POUR PATH OF HOT CONTENTS.
4) RETURN PAN BODY TO UPRIGHT POSITION AFTER CONTAINER IS FILLED
OR TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.
5) DO NOT OVERFILL CONTAINER. AVOID DIRECT SKIN CONTACT WITH HOT
CONTAINER AND CONTENTS.
CAUTION: DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES AT A SETTING
HIGHER THAN 300°F. DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD RESULT.
WARNING: STEAM CAN CAUSE BURNS. AVOID ESCAPING STEAM WHEN RAISING
COVER.
WARNING: ITEMS IN SAUCE OR MELTED FAT CAN SLIDE FORWARD SUDDENLY DURING
TILTING AND SPLASH THE HOT LIQUID.
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.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL THE BRAISING PAN WHEN COOKING, HOLDING OR
CLEANING. KEEP LIQUIDS AT LEAST 2-3” (5-8 CM) BELOW THE PAN BODY
RIM TO ALLOW CLEARANCE FOR STIRRING, BOILING PRODUCT AND SAFE
TRANSFER.
Tilting pan body
1. To Tilt Pan Body
a. Manual Tilt Model -
Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to tilt the pan body, or counterclockwise
to return the pan body to horizontal. 23 complete turns of the handwheel
will tilt the body 90 degrees to vertical.
b. Power Tilt Model -
1. Press the power tilt switch marked “up” to raise the pan or “down” to
lower the pan.
2. The spring loaded switch will return to the OFF (middle) position when
you release it.
3. If the power tilt mechanism stops working (see the Troubleshooting
section) and you must raise or lower the pan body without delay, you
can tilt the body by hand. Remove the small plug on top of the control
box and fit the provided tool into the hole. Turn the tool clockwise to
lower it. It may take several minutes to move the pan to the desired
position, but the operation can be speeded up by substituting a
reversible drill with a 1/4” hexagonal driver bit in place of the tool.
2. Cooking
a. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the temperature 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 control higher to cook or drive off
moisture faster. You may adjust the control to any setting to cook the item
exactly as required.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. To return the pan to the horizontal position, turn the wheel counter-
clockwise.
e. To turn the pan off, turn the power switch to the “OFF” 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.
3. Routine Clean-Up
After each use, turn the control and power switch 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 7 for more
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 turn the main power switch to “ON” and set the temperature, the
contactors close and power flow to the heating elements and indicator light.
When the pan temperature reaches the value set on the dial, the relay 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 controller senses that the
pan is cooling below the set temperature, the relay 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 400°F (204°C) 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.
