Equipment Description

The BPM/BPP 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:

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; Gauge recommendations (AWG) are for 25’ runs from the breaker

box (if longer runs are required, increase wire size accordingly)

WARNING

WATER IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAN CAUSE

SEVERE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT

WATER WHEN EMPTYING UNIT.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RAISE PAN COVER BEFORE

TILTING TO AVOID DAMAGING THE HINGE

AND COUNTERBALANCE.

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 (113°C). 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.

If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact your local Authorized Service Agency.

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°F (79° and 204°C).

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 (38° and 204°C). 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 (149°C) or less for 15 minutes, or through several on/off cycles of the thermostat.
