Initial Start-Up
Now that the Braising Pan has been installed,
you should test it to ensure that it is operating
correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing
materials from the interior and exterior of
the unit.
2. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
3. Put enough water into the pan to cover its
bottom to a depth of ¼” to ½”. With the tilt
mechanism still cranked all the way back
to the horizontal position, note how the
water covers the pan bottom. This is a
good method to confirm that the unit is
properly leveled.
4. Set the thermostat to 235
o
F. The heating
indicator light should come on to indicate
that the pan is heating. Heating should
continue until the water boils.
5. To shut the unit down, turn the thermostat
dial to “OFF.”
CAUTION
STAND AWAY FROM THE HOT WATER
WHILE TILTING THE PAN TO EMPTY IT.
6. Position a container for the pour-off and
press down on the power tilt switch so that
the water pours out. This will confirm that
the pan body can be tilted from horizontal
to vertical.
Operation
Operator Controls on the Braising Pan are the
thermostat dial and power tilt switch on the
console to the right of the pan body. The dial
turns electric power for the pan on or off, and
sets the pan’s operating temperature. The
power tilt switch is used to raise or lower the pan
body. Press the switch
down to raise the pan
or up to lower it.
A. Start-up Procedure
1. Set the thermostat dial to the desired
temperature between 100 and 400
o
F. The
glowing Heat Indicator Light shows that
the pan is heating. When the light cycles
on and off, it indicates that the pan is being
held at the set temperature. Once in each
of these cycles you may hear the
contactors in the control box make a
clicking sound.
2. For best results when braising or frying,
preheat the pan before putting in any food.
For an even temperature across the pan,
reheat at a setting of
300
o
F or less for 15
minutes, or through several on/off cycles
of the thermostat.
WARNING
DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE
THAN FIVE MINUTES AT SETTINGS ABOVE
300
o
F. DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD
RESULT.
B. 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 it up to help dry the
product. Set the thermostat higher to cook
or drive moisture off faster. The
thermostat may be adjusted to any setting
in its range to cook exactly as you wish.
2. Leave the cover vent open to allow excess
steam to escape. For longer simmering,
you may wish to close the vent.
WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
ESCAPING FROM THE COVER VENT.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS
3. To check cooking progress when the
cover has been closed, grasp the plastic
handle of vent cover and lift it slightly while
moving it quickly to either side. Standing
at one side of the pan to avoid the steam
that will be released, grasp the nearest
corner of the cover handle and raise the
cover. The cover will stay in the open
position until you put it down.
