IMPORTANT FOR YOUR SAFETY THIS MANUAL HAS BEEN PREPARED FOR PERSONNEL QUALIFIED TO INSTALL GAS EQUIPMENT, WHO SHOULD PERFORM THE INITIAL FIELD START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS OF THE EQUIPMENT COVERED BY THIS MANUAL. POST IN A PROMINENT LOCATION THE INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE EVENT THE SMELL OF GAS IS DETECTED.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE GENERAL Vulcan-Hart Tilting Braising Pans are available in two sizes. Models G30 and E30 have a 30-gallon capacity and Models G40 and E40 have a 40-gallon capacity. Models with a suffix of "O" have an open base and models with a suffix of "C"...
LOCATION For Gas Powered Braising Pans Only The braising pan must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The braising pan, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction of 6" from the sides and 6" from the rear. The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS Your Vulcan Tilting Braising Pan must be installed in accordance with: In the United States: 1. State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with: 2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from the American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.
SERVICE CONNECTIONS To reach service and utility connections, remove the left side panel. To remove, hold the panel from underneath and lift it up. While holding the panel up, swing out the lower part of the panel until it clears the top flange and remove.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (see Fig. 3) WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL CODES. WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT. The control box for field wire connection is located on the lower left side of the braising pan.
OPERATION WARNING: THE TILTING BRAISING PAN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BRAISING PAN. BEFORE FIRST USE Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner, clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts and the interior of the tilting braising pan. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's directions. Rinse thoroughly and drain the pan.
7. Lower the braising pan (see OPERATION OF LIFTING SYSTEM in this manual). The braising pan will not operate with the pan in the "up" position. 8. Turn the thermostat to the desired cooking temperature. Complete Shutdown 1. Turn manual shutoff valve to OFF. 2.
DO NOT use the braising pan as a deep fat fryer, use it only for shallow pan frying (cooking oil film not more than " thick). Its use for deep frying could result in a fire hazard. See COOKING HINTS in this manual for additional information.
Do not overheat the clad stainless steel plate by setting the temperature well above recommended temperatures, or by operating the braising pan without any fluid inside the pan to absorb heat. Overheating the plate may cause warpage and will carbonize any cooking oil on the plate and cause sticking.
1. Close all front doors. 2. Press the upper half of the rocker switch to raise the braising pan and the lower half of the rocker switch to lower the braising pan. The switch must be held for continuous raising or lowering of the braising pan.
STEAMING INSERTS (Optional) Your tilting braising pan can be used for steaming frozen and fresh foods. The 30-gallon pans (Models E or G30) can be loaded with a maximum of two steaming pans, size 12" x 20" x 4" deep. The 40-gallon pan (Models E or G40) will accept up to three steam pans of this same size.
CLEANING WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING. Clean your braising pan regularly. Keep the plate surface clean. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly braised products, keep pan surface free from carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the pan surface to the food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency.
COOKING GUIDELINES The guidelines given below are suggested quantities, temperature settings, and estimated numbers of orders per load and per hour.
