4.0 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating,
cleaning and servicing the tilting braising pan.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner, to 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. Wipe dry with a
soft clean cloth.
CONTROLS:
TILT SWITCH - Push up to raise tilting braising pan; push down to
lower tilting braising pan.
POWER SWITCH - Turns power on to the lift motor. Note: it is not
necessary to have the power on when using the
braising pan. Turn power on only when you intend to
operate the tilt feature. This will save energy as well as
prevent the motor from overheating.
AMBER LIGHT - Will light when the power is turned on to the lift motor.
THERMOSTAT- Turns tilting braising pan ON and maintains set
temperature by controlling power supply. Temperature
settings range from 150°F (70°C) to 450°F (230°C).
RED TEMPERATURE LIGHT - Will light when heating elements are supplying heat to
the tilting braising pan.
8
START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Ensure that the braising pan is in the DOWN position.
2. Turn THERMOSTAT dial to desired temperature. The red TEMPERATURE LIGHT
will come on.
3. When braising pan has reached set temperature, the red TEMPERATURE LIGHT
will go off and the heating elements will shut off. The heating elements will cycle on
and off thereafter to maintain set temperature. The red TEMPERATURE LIGHT will
be on when the heating elements are on, and off when the heating elements are off.
4. Preheat braising pan and allow it to cycle to equalize heat across the entire surface.
5. Water will boil faster with the lid down.
6. Turn THERMOSTAT to OFF when braising pan is not in use.
7. Turn power switch to motor OFF.
DAILY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
To turn tilting braising pan off, turn THERMOSTAT dial to OFF.
To turn power to tilt motor off, turn power switch to OFF.
TILTING THE BRAISING PAN
1. DO NOT try to tilt braising pan with lid down.
2. Turn power switch to the ‘ON’ position.
3. Make sure the receiving pan is in place.
4. To tilt braising pan, push and hold TILT SWITCH in the UP mode until desired pan
position has been reached. The braising pan will empty when raised to the top tilt
position. When the braising pan is raised 5 or more, the heating elements will be
turned off automatically. The braising pan will not operate once the pan has been
tilted.
5. Food is poured through the removable strainer (Figure 2) into a food receiving pan
positioned under the lip of the pouring spout (Figure 2).
6. To lower braising pan, push and hold TILT SWITCH in the DOWN mode.
9
5.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning
or servicing.
After each use, allow the tilting braising pan to cool before cleaning. Keep exposed
cleanable areas of the tilting braising pan clean at all times. Do not get water in
electrical box or on any electrical component.
1. Thoroughly wash pan, pouring spout, (see Figure 2) lid and exterior surfaces with
mild detergent and warm water. If necessary, soak pan to remove food that is stuck
to pan surface. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
2. Clean removable strainer and receiving pan support with mild detergent and warm
water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

7.0 MAINTENANCE
WARNING : The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when
operating, cleaning and servicing the tilting braising pan.
WARNING: Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the
disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on the circuit before
performing any maintenance.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system has been adjusted and tested at the factory and no further
adjustment should be needed. If the unit fails to operate properly, all service work must
be performed by a qualified service agent.
MAINTENANCE
1. Hot oil in the Hydraulic System is one of the primary causes of poor operation.
When the tilt system is not in use turn power switch off.
2. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear and aging.
3. Check that fluid levels are kept full.
4. To replace oil, fill through filler breather.
5. Use proper oil as specified by factory. TYPE: AWH32 or equivalent.
6. Set up regular schedule for checking the oil temperature, hydraulic hoses and
keeping the equipment clean. A thick layer of dirt acts as an insulation and prevents
the hydraulic system from cooling properly.
7. Check the cleanliness of the oil strainer inside the reservoir once per year. This item
can be washed in clean Varsol.
8. Change the breather filter once per year.
9. Change the oil once every two years.

8.0 ADJUSTMENTS AND CONTROLS:
ADJUST PAN SPEED
There are three controls available on this power unit. The first is an adjustable relief
valve mounted into the custom aluminum manifold block. The other two control the
linear speed of the actuator.
RELIEF VALVE
The relief valve is located underneath an aluminum hexagon cover on the side of the
custom manifold block. This relief valve is factory set to 825 P.S.I. and locked and
should not be adjusted.
If adjustments are necessary, remove the hexagon cover, which will give access to the
relief valve screw. With the pump running, and with a suitable flat blade style
screwdriver, rotate the screw clockwise to increase pressure, and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. While this operation is being carried out some oil will leak down the
threads of the adjusting screw.
To obtain the pressure required, a pressure gauge will have to be located in the circuit.
The best location is on the cylinder hose. To set the pressure, energize the solenoid to
extend the cylinder fully and thus “deadhead” the system. The pressure can be set as
indicated above. When adjustment is complete, replace the hexagon cover. This will
seal the relief valve area. The actual factory set pressure is noted on the label and
should not be exceeded as this affects the HP draw on the electric motor.
FLOW CONTROL
There are two flow control valves mounted on the power unit and located on the solenoid
valve subplate. The flow control valves will restrict the capacity of oil passing through
them when the knurled knob is screwed in - in a clockwise direction. This action will
reduce the linear speed of the cylinder. Turning the flow control valve adjustment in the
opposite direction - counterclockwise, will increase the speed of the cylinder. One flow
control valve (right side) will allow adjustment of the extension speed (travel speed
should be set at minimum 20 seconds), the other (left side) the retraction speed.
(Retraction speed should be set at minimum 10 seconds).
IMPORTANT
It should be noted that if the cylinder speed is restricted by the flow control valves, the
balance of oil not delivered to the cylinder will go over the relief @ 825 P.S.I. which will
cause unwanted heat in the reservoir.
