The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the braising pan.
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout procedures
before performing any maintenance.

LUBRICATION

Lid Mechanism
1. The lid lift mechanism and tension spring are located behind the backsplash (sheet metal panel
behind the braising pan) on both the left and right rear corners of the braising pan.
2. Take the cover off by prying and lifting up (fig. 9).
3. For smooth operation of the lid, lubricate these mechanisms with 8 to 10 drops of lubricating machine
oil every 6 months. Place a few drops of oil between the lid arm and stationary block, and a few
drops on the shaft around which the spring is coiled.
4. Replace the cover to maintain smooth operation.

ADJUSTMENTS

At least twice a year, have a Vulcan authorized service person clean and adjust the tilting braising pan
for maximum performance.

FLUE

When cool, annually check the flue. Clean the flue of any grease buildup or other obstructions that can
affect the flow of the flue gases from the braising pan.
