Equipment Description

The BLT/BLP is a stainless steel, electrically heated Braising Pan which is equipped with integrated heating elements, a hand operated or motor powered tilting mechanism, electrical controls and a hinged cover. The Braising Pan serves as a braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bain-marie, or food warmer and server. It can also be adapted for use as a non-pressure steamer.

The pan body is constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel, welded into a solid piece. It has a polished interior and exterior ﬁnish. A pouring lip is welded to the top of the front wall. The cooking surface is a stainless steel clad plate ﬁtted with clampedon electrical heating elements. The elements are positioned to ensure uniform heat transfer over the entire surface.

Pans are mounted on an open-leg frame which is fabricated from tubular stainless steel.

An easily operated worm and gear mechanism tilts the pan body and provides precise control for pouring or dumping its contents.

This tilting mechanism is located in a stainless steel console to right of the pan body. For power tilt units a three position switch on the front of the control console gives the operator positive, smooth-acting control of tilt. To facilitate cleaning, the pan body can be tilted past the vertical position.

Heating elements and other electrical components are enclosed for safety. The thermostat, heating indicator light and tilting switch are contained in a compact control console which is mounted to the right of the pan body.

The thermostat provides automatic control of cooking temperature. Turning the thermostat dial starts and stops heating and sets the pan temperature. Only one electrical connection is required to install the unit.

A vented, heavy gauge, one-piece, stainless steel cover with a rear condensate drip shield on the underside is standard on the braising pan. A fully enclosed torsion bartype counter-balance provides easy operation to open the cover to maintain it open at any position. The cover opens to the back. It is hinged to the frame, so it moves independently from the pan body.

The following sizes and options are available:

Inspection & Unpacking

CAUTION

SHIPPING STRAPS ARE UNDER TENSION

AND CAN SNAP BACK WHEN CUT.

CAUTION

UNIT WEIGHS 420 TO 560 LB (190 TO 255

KG). FOR SAFE HANDLING, INSTALLER

SHOULD OBTAIN HELP AS NEEDED, OR

EMPLOY APPROPRIATE MATERIALS HANDLING EQUIPMENT (SUCH AS A

FORKLIFT, DOLLY, OR PALLET JACK) TO

REMOVE THE UNIT FROM THE SKID AND

MOVE IT TO THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION.

The unit is strapped to a skid, and shipped

in a heavy cardboard carton. (Shown is a

40-gallon model with optional right side

mounted, double pantry faucet assembly.)

The unit will arrive completely assembled, wrapped in protective plastic on a heavy skid, in a heavy cardboard carton. Immediately upon receipt, inspect the carton for damage. Report any apparent shipping damage or an incorrect shipment to the delivery agent.

When installation is to begin, get someone to assist in removing the carton. Lift it straight up and away from the unit. Do not simply raise it and push backwards - it will break the cover assembly vent handle. Write down the model number, serial number, and installation date of your unit, and keep this information for future reference. Space for these entries is provided at the top of the Service Log in this manual.

Cut the straps holding the unit on the skid, and lift the unit straight up off the skid.

Installation

CAUTION

BEFORE ANY ELECTRICAL CONVERSION,

VERIFY THAT THE BRANCH CIRCUIT

WIRING IS ADEQUATE TO HANDLE ANY

INCREASE IN AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS.

REFER TO THE ELECTRICAL

SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BELOW.

WARNING

INSTALLATION OF THE BRAISING PAN

MUST BE DONE BY PERSONNEL QUALIFIED

TO WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER

INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO

PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE

TO EQUIPMENT.

Electronic spark ignition

Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied complete. When you receive the unit, it is ready for connection. A wiring diagram is located inside the control box on the right side of the pan, as well as in this manual.

Your pan was performance-tested at the factory to conﬁrm that all controls and heating elements were functioning correctly.

Installation is as follows:

1. Set the unit in place and level it by turning the adjustable feet. Crank the pan body to a completely horizontal position. Check levelness by placing a spirit level on the bottom of the pan. The unit must be level to avoid uneven cooking across the pan.

2. Make a waterproof connection with the incoming power line at the electrical service entrance at the bottom of the connection box at rear of control console. A BX connection is NOT recommended. ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT at the proper terminal.

3. Provide the proper electrical supply as speciﬁed on the electrical information plate. Comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7latest edition.

4. Use only copper wire, rated at least 75ºC and of proper gage. See chart below.

5. Standard equipment is shipped ready for 208V, 240V, or 480V, 3-phase operation. Refer to the wiring diagram located on the inside cover of the control box and the instructions below for conversion to single-phase operation.

A jumper wire and “conversion” label are included with the unit. They can be

found in a plastic bag attached to the trunnion assembly inside the control box.

Electrical Requirements Note: Use only copper wire rated for 75°c or higher

6. For conversion from 3-phase to 1-phase a. Verify that the branch circuit wiring is adequate for any increased

amperage requirements. (See table on previous page)

b. 1-phase requires two jumper wires. One jumper wire exists on the terminal

block for 3- phase input. The second jumper wire is located in a plastic bag inside the control box.

c. Attach jumper wires to terminal block as per wiring diagram for 1 phase

supply.

d. Complete “conversion label” (supplied in bag) and adhere it to the control

box near the UL data plate.

WARNING

WATER IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAN CAUSE

SEVERE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT

WATER WHEN EMPTYING UNIT.

Initial Start-Up

Now that your braising pan has been installed, you should test it to ensure that the unit 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 1/4” to 1/2” (6 to

13 mm). With the pan body in the horizontal position, note how the water covers the pan bottom. This is a good method to use for conﬁrming that the unit is properly leveled.

4. Set the thermostat to 235˚F. The heating indicator light should come on to show

that the pan is heating. Heating should continue until the water boils.

5. To shut the unit down, turn the thermostat dial to “OFF.”

6. Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to pour out the water and to conﬁrm that

the pan body can be tilted smoothly from horizontal to vertical. For power tilt models, push the UP/DOWN switch to conﬁrm operation of tilting system.
