USING THE TILTING BRAISING PAN
When the braising pan is tilted, power supply to the burner is interrupted. The braising pan can only be
operated in the down position.
To prevent discoloration of stainless steel cooking surface, do not turn the heat on unless the braising pan
is covered with a fluid, a thin layer of cooking oil, or food to be cooked.
1. Grasp the tilting handle and tilt the braising pan down as far as it will go and then back to ensure
that it moves easily.
2. Turn the Power Switch ON.
3. Set the Thermostat dial to HIGH (450°F / 232°C).
4. Preheat braising pan and allow it to cycle in order to equalize heat across the entire pan surface.
5. Set the Thermostat dial to the desired cooking temperature.
