Equipment Description
The Gro en F PC is a stainless steel, electrically
heated Braising Pan which is equ ipped with
integrated heating elements, a hand operated
tilting mechanism, electrical controls and a
hinged cover. The Braising Pan serves as a
braising unit, griddle, fry pan, oven, kettle, bainmarie, or food warmer and server. It can also
be adapted for use as a non-pressure steam er.
The pan body is cons tructed 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 clamped-on electrical heating
elements. The elem ents are po sitioned to
ensure uniform heat transfer over the entire
surface.
Models FPC and FPC/1 are mounted on an
open-leg frame which is fabricated from tubular
stainless steel. Models MW/FPC and
MW/FPC/1 are designed to be wall-mounted
with side support arms and a back-splash. They
do not have legs.
This handwheel controlled mechanism is located
in a stainless steel console to right of the pan
body. 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 and heating indicator light are
contained in a com pact control console wh ich is
mounted to the left of the pa n body.
The thermostat provides automatic control of
cooking temperature. Turning the thermostat
dial starts and stops heating and sets the pan
temperature. Only one electrica l con nec tion 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 o n the Braising Pan.
A fully enclosed spring-type actuator counterbalances the cover to maintain either the
opened or closed pos ition. The cove r opens to
the back. It is hinged to the frame, so it moves
independently from the p an body.
An easily operated worm and gear mechanism
tilts the pan body and provides precise control
for pouring or dumping its contents.

WARNING
THE BRAISING PAN MUST BE INSTALLED
BY PERSONNEL WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO
WORK WITH ELECTRICITY. IMPROPER
INSTALLATION COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE.
Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied
complete. W hen you rece ive the unit, it is
ready for connect ion. A wiring d iagra m is
located inside the control box on the left side of
the pan, as well as in this manual (pp. 14 -21).
Your pan was perform ance-tested at the factory
to confirm that all controls and hea ting elements
were functioning correctly.
Installation is as follows:
A. For All Models:
6. 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.
7. Use only #6 gauge copper wire, rated at
least 200ºC (392ºF)
8. Units are wired at the factory for three
phase operation and should be
connected as follows:
B. For Model FPC or FPC/1:
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 in the bottom of the
control cons ole. A BX c onn ection is
NOT recommended. ELECTRICALLY
GROUND THE UNIT at the proper
terminal.
WARNING
ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE PAN AT THE
TERMINAL PROVIDED.
C. For Model MW/FPC or MW/FPC/1:
1. Install the provided “chair carrier” frame
in the wall to which the pan (and/or
other equipment) will be attached.
Follow accompanying instructions
regarding anchoring and location.
2. Stu b in the electrical service so that it
will be aligned with the con trol c ons ole
on the left side of the pan when it is
mounted.
3. Mount the pan on the protruding studs
of the chair carrier. Make sure the

bottom of the pan body is level
before you proceed to the next step.
To prevent sanitation problems, seal
the junction between the pan and

Initial Start-Up
OM-FPC
Now that the Braising Pan has been installed,
you should test it to ensure that it 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 ¼” to ½” (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.
Operator Controls on the Braising Pan include
the thermostat dial on the console to the left of
the pan body and the tilting handwheel, to the
right. The dial turns electric power for the pan
on or off, and sets the pan’s operating
temperature. The ha ndwheel controls the worm
and gear mechanism that tilts the pan body and
holds it in the desired position.
A. Start-up Procedure
1. Set the thermostat dial to the desired
temperature between 100 and 400o F.
The Heat Indicator Light shows that the
pan is heating. When the light cycles on
and off, it in dica tes that the pan is
holding at the set temperature. During
these cycles you may hear the
contactors in the control box make a
clicking soun d. Th is is n orm al.
4. Set the thermostat to 235o F. The
heating indicator light should com e 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.”
CAUTION
STAND AWAY FROM THE HOT WATER
WHILE TILTING THE PAN TO EMPTY IT.
6. Position a con tainer for the pour-off.
Turn the handwheel clockwise to pour
the water out. This will confirm that the
pan bod y tilts fr om horizo ntal to vertical.
Operation
B. Cooking
1. To simmer or slowly heat an item, set
the dial at about 210o F or lower. Put
the cover down to keep moisture loss at
a minimum, or leave it up to help dryor
reduce the product. Set the thermostat
higher to cook or drive m oisture off
faster. The thermostat may be adjusted
to any setting in its range to cook
exactly as you wish.
2. Leave the cover vent open to allow
excess steam to escape. For longer
simmering, you may wish to close the
vent to retain moisture.
2. 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 300o F
or less for 15 minutes, or through
several on/off cycles of the thermostat.
WARNING
DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY PAN FOR MORE
THAN FIVE MINUTES AT SETTINGS ABOVE
300oF. DAMAGE TO THE PAN COULD
RESULT.
WARNING
AVOID ANY EXPOSURE TO THE STEAM
ESCAPING FROM THE COVER VENT.
DIRECT CONTACT COULD RES ULT IN
SEVERE BURNS
3. To check cooking progress when the
cover has been closed, grasp the p last ic
handle o f ve nt co ve r and lift it sligh tly
while moving it quickly to either side.
Standin g at o ne s ide o f the pan to avoid
the steam that will be released, grasp
the nea rest corner of the cover handle
and raise the cover. The cover will stay
