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:

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.

WARNING
WHEN TILTING BRAISING PAN
FOR PRODUCT TRANSFER:
1) USE CONTAINERS DEEP ENOUGH
TO CONTAIN AND MINIMIZE
PRODUCT SPLASHING.
2) PLACE CONTAINER ON A STABLE,
FLAT SURFACE, AS CLOSE TO THE
BRAISING PAN AS POSSIBLE.
3) STAND TO THE SIDE OF THE PAN
WHILE POURING — NOT DIRECTLY IN THE
POUR PATH OF HOT CONTENTS.
4) RETURN PAN BODY TO UPRIGHT
POSITION AFTER CONTAINER IS FILLED OR
TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.
5) DO NOT OVERFILL CONTAINER.
AVOID DIRECT SKIN CONTACT WITH HOT
CONTAINER AND CONTENTS.
A. Controls
Operator controls for the braising pans are:
1. Power ON Switch and Power ON indicator located on the control console.
2. The thermostat dial, located on the control console to the right of the
pan body. This dial is used to turn the thermostat on or off and to set the
thermostat for pan temperatures between 175° and 400°.
3. Heating indicator light located on the control console, lights when the
burners have ignited.
4. A handwheel controls the worm and gear mechanism that smoothly tilts
the pan body and holds it in the desired position.
5. For power tilt units a switch is located on the control panel. It is used to
raise and lower the pan body.
B. Operating Procedure
1. To Tilt Pan Body
a. Manual Tilt Model Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to tilt the pan body, or
counterclockwise to return the pan body to horizontal. 23 complete
turns of the handwheel will tilt the body 90 degrees to vertical.
b. Power Tilt Model -
1. Press the power tilt switch marked “up” to raise the pan or
“down” to lower the pan.
2. The spring loaded switch will return to the OFF (middle) position
when you release it.
3. If the power tilt mechanism stops working (see the
Troubleshooting section) and you must raise or lower the pan
body without delay, you can tilt the body by hand. Remove the
small plug on top of the control box and fit the provided tool
into the hole. Turn the tool clockwise to lower it. It may take
several minutes to move the pan to the desired position, but the
operation can be speeded up by substituting a reversible drill
with a 1/4” hexagonal driver bit in place of the tool.
Tilting pan body
2. Set the thermostat dial to the desired temperature between 100 and 400˚F.
The Heat Indicator Light shows that the pan is heating. When the light
cycles on and off, it indicates that the pan is holding at the set temperature.
During these cycles you may hear the contactors in the control box make a
clicking sound. This is normal.
3. For best results when braising or frying, preheat the pan before putting
in any food. For an even temperature across the pan, preheat at a setting
of 300˚F or less for 15 minutes, or through several on/off cycles of the
thermostat.

WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
ESCAPING FROM THE COVER VENT.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.
WARNING
ITEMS IN SAUCE OR MELTED FAT CAN
SLIDE FORWARD SUDDENLY DURING TILTING
AND SPLASH THE HOT LIQUID.
C. Cooking
1. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set the dial at 210°F or lower. Put the
cover down to minimize moisture loss, or leave it up to help dry or reduce the
product. Set the thermostat higher to cook or drive off moisture faster. You
may adjust the thermostat to any setting to cook the item exactly as required.
2. Leave the cover vent open to let excess steam escape. For long simmering
operations, you may wish to close the vent to retain moisture.
3. To check progress when the cover is closed, lift the handle of the vent
cover slightly, and move it quickly to either side.
4. Standing to one side of the pan (to avoid the steam that will be released)
grasp the nearer corner of the cover handle and raise the cover. The cover
will stay in the open position until you push it down.
5. To pour product, remove grease, or assist in cleaning, first raise the cover,
then tilt the pan forward by turning the tilting handwheel. When you stop
turning the wheel, the pan body will hold its position.
6. To return the pan to the horizontal position, turn the wheel counterclockwise.
WARNING
AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH HOT
EQUIPMENT SURFACES. DIRECT SKIN
CONTACT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
BURNS. AVOID ALL DIRECT CONTACT WITH
HOT FOOD OR WATER IN THE BRAISING PAN.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RESULT IN
SEVERE BURNS.
7. To turn the pan off, turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position.
D. Routine Clean-Up
After each use, turn the thermostat to “OFF” and clean all food contact surfaces
to ensure proper sanitation. At the end of the day, or at least once every 24
hours, turn off the heat and shut off electric power to the unit and clean both
the interior and exterior of the pan. See Page 12 for more detailed cleaning
instructions.
10 OM-BLT/BLP-E
Sequence of Operation
The following “action-reaction” outline is provided to help you understand how the braising
pan actually functions.
When you start up the pan by turning the thermostat from “OFF” to a desired temperature,
the thermostat switch closes. This causes the contactors to close, and allows power to flow
to the heating elements and the indicator light.
When the pan temperature reaches the value set on the thermostat dial, the thermostat
switch opens and causes the contactors to open. This stops the flow of power to the heating
elements and the indicator light. As soon as the thermostat senses that the pan is cooling
below the set temperature, the thermostat closes, the contactors close, and the heaters and
indicator light come on again.
This on and off cycle continues, maintaining the pan at the set temperature. This is why the
indicator light on and off cycling is seen during normal operation. If the pan temperature
exceeds 425°F for any reason, a high-limit thermostat shuts off the power until the pan
cools. At that point, the thermostat automatically resets to permit normal operation to start
again.
Turning the thermostat to “OFF” shuts down all control and heating circuits.
The thermostat controls heating by alternating between feeding full power and completely
cutting power off. The pan heats as fast as it can until it reaches the set temperature, no
matter what that temperature is. Turning the thermostat to a higher setting will cause
heating to continue longer, until the pan reaches a higher temperature, but it cannot make
the pan heat any faster.
Manual tilt models, turning the hand wheel rotates a worm, which turns a gear wheel on
one of the trunnions supporting the pan body. Turning the gear produces the tilting action.
Power tilt models, pushing the up/down switch operates a gear motor which turns worm
and gear wheel as described above.
For all braising pans, the power to the heaters is cut off when the pan is tilted past a slight
inclination of 10° degrees. It is acceptable to cook with the pan tilted forward at a small
angle (about 5 - 7 degrees) to let liquids collect to front of pan or allow them to drain out of
the draw off valve.

Cleaning
WARNING
KEEP WATER AND SOLUTIONS OUT OF
CONTROLS AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
DO NOT USE A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO
CLEAN THE CONTROL CONSOLE,
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS, ETC.
CAUTION
MOST CLEANERS ARE HARMFUL TO THE
SKIN, EYES, MUCOUS MEMBRANES AND
CLOTHING. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE
TAKEN TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES,
GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD AND
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. CAREFULLY READ
THE WARNINGS AND FOLLOW THE
DIRECTIONS ON THE LABEL OF THE
CLEANER TO BE USED.
WARNING
BEFORE ANY CLEANING OPERATION,
TURN THERMOSTAT DIAL TO “OFF” TO
CUT ANY POWER TO THE HEATING
ELEMENTS. BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART
OTHER THAN THE INSIDE OF THE PAN,
DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AT
CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE BOX.
A. Suggested Tools
1. A good stainless steel cleaner
2. Brushes in good condition
3. Cloth for cleaning controls
4. Chlorine sanitizer
5. Heavy Duty Cleaner (if required)
B. Procedure
1. Clean all food-contact surfaces soon after use. It is best to clean the pan
before it has completely cooled. If the unit is in continuous use, completely
clean and sanitize both the inside and outside at least once every 12 hours.
2. To remove any large amount of food left in the pan, tilt the pan all the way
up and flush it with lukewarm water. Do not damage the surface of the pan
by scraping it with a metal tool. Scratches make the surface more difficult
to clean, and provide ideal breeding places for bacteria.
3. Following the supplier’s directions, make up a warm solution of the cleaner.
Carefully wash the inside and outside of the pan body with the cleaning
solution.
4. Use a cloth moistened with cleaning solution to clean controls, the control
console, and electric conduit.
5. Rinse the pan very well with lukewarm water, and drain it completely.
6. As part of the daily cleaning program, clean all inside and outside surfaces
that may have been soiled. Remember to check such parts as the undersides of the cover, the electrical console and other more remote spots.
Clean between the pan body and the consoles using a brush.
Use a brush, sponge, cloth, plastic or
rubber scraper, or plastic wool to clean.
Don’t use metal implements or steel wool.
Do not spray water directly on burners
and gas combustion chambers.
12 OM-BLT/BLP-E
7. Controls and the control console may be cleaned with a damp cloth or
sprayed with a garden hose spray connected to city water supply. Do not
use a pressure sprayer directly on the unit or electrical parts.
8. To remove materials stuck to the equipment, use a brush, sponge, cloth,
plastic or rubber scraper, or plastic wool with the cleaning solution. To
make washing easier, let the cleaning solution sit in the unit and soak
into the residue, or heat the solution briefly. Do not use any gritty cleaner
or metal tool that might scratch the surface. Scratches make the surface
harder to clean, and also provide places for bacteria to grow. Do not use
steel wool. Small bit of steel wool left in the surface of the unit can cause
rusting and pitting.
9. The outside of the unit may be polished with a recognized stainless steel
cleaner such as Zepper from the Zep Manufacturing Company.
10. When the equipment needs to be sanitized, use a sanitizing solution
equivalent to one that supplies 100 parts per million available chlorine.
Get advice about the best sanitizing agent from you supplier of sanitizing
products.
Cleaning
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE A CHLORINE SANITIZER IN
CONTACT WITH STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES FOR LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES.
LONGER CONTACT CAN CAUSE CORROSION.
CAUTION
KEEP CAUSTIC COMPOUNDS SUCH AS
FRYER BOILOUT CLEANERS AWAY FROM
ALUMINUM PARTS OF THE LID HINGE
SYSTEM AND THE COUNTERBALANCE
ASSEMBLY. HIGHLY CAUSTIC COMPOUNDS
COULD DAMAGE THIS MATERIAL.
11. Following supplier instructions, apply the sanitizing agent after the unit has
been cleaned and drained. Thoroughly drain off the sanitizer.
12. After the unit has been cleaned, sanitized and drained, let all surfaces air
dry unless the unit must be used again right away.
13. It is recommended that the unit be sanitized just before use. Follow the
directions of the sanitizer supplier.
14. About once a week (more often if the water is very hard), use a heavy
duty cleaner to remove any mineral deposits or film left by hard water or
foods. Follow the supplier’s directions very carefully, and rinse the unit off
thoroughly, as soon as cleaning is finished.
15. If especially difficult cleaning problems persist, contact your cleaning
product supplier for help. The supplier has a trained technical staff with
laboratory facilities to serve you.
