Vulcan-Hart Gas Tilting Braising Pans are installed on a tubular base and are available in two sizes.
Model G30TB has a 30-gallon capacity and an 80,000 BTU/Hr. input rating. Model G40TB has a 40gallon capacity and a 100,000 BTU/Hr. input rating.
The tilting braising pan is a versatile piece of equipment. It allows you to stew, simmer, pan fry, braise,
grill or saute, and all with a very uniform heat pattern.
Standard features include an electronic ignition, tilting switch solid state temperature control,
removable strainer, receiving pan support, and a lid with full width, drop-type handle that can be opened
from any position. Optional accessories include a stainless steel pan support, and steam pan insert.
Vulcan-Hart Company suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of
the instructions provided.
Your Vulcan-Hart Gas Tilting Braising Pan is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper
installation, usage and maintenance of your tilting braising pan will result in many years of satisfactory
performance.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the tilting braising pan is found
to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) and electrical service agree with
the specifications on the rating plate located on the left side panel as you face the front of the braising
pan. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart
immediately.
LOCATION
The equipment must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The tilting braising pan, when
installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction of 3"
from the sides and 6" from the rear. The tilting braising pan is intended for use on non-combustible
floors.
– 4 –
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 36" is required.
The tilting braising pan must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be
obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided.
Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room suitable for the amount of combustion gas
feeding the braising pan burners.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the tilting braising pan, and wherever possible, avoid open
windows next to the tilting braising pan. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the
room.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
Your Vulcan Gas Tilting Braising Pan must be installed in accordance with:
1. State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with:
2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from the American Gas Association,
Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.
3. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition).
4. ANSI NFPA Standard #96, "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
LEVELING AND ANCHORING TILTING BRAISING PAN
1. Place tilting braising pan in the installation position.
2. Place a carpenter's level on top of the braising pan and turn the adjustable feet to level braising pan
side-to-side and front-to-back.
3. Mark hole locations on the floor through the anchoring holes provided in the rear flanged adjustable
feet.
4. Remove tilting braising pan from installation position and drill holes in locations marked on the floor.
(See INSTALLATION DIAGRAM in this manual.) Insert proper anchoring devices (not supplied).
5. Place tilting braising pan back in the installation position.
6. Place carpenter's level on top of braising pan and re-level side-to-side and front-to-back.
7. Bolt and anchor tilting braising pan securely to the floor.
8. Seal bolts and flanged feet with silastic or equivalent compound.
– 5 –
GAS CONNECTIONS
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane
gases.
The gas inlet is located under the control panel on the left-hand side.
Connect gas supply to the tilting braising pan. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
3
/4" iron pipe with an incoming pressure of approximately 7" W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas or 11"
W.C. (Water Column) for propane gas. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt,
and piping compound.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the tilting braising pan.
Natural gas and propane gas braising pans are equipped with fixed orifices and no adjustment is
necessary. The orifices are set at 3.5" W.C. (Water Column) for natural gas, and 10" W.C. (Water
Column) for propane gas.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the tilting braising pan and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the tilting braising pan must be isolated from the
gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the tilting braising pan.
It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation
system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the tilting braising pan flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system, an
18" minimum clearance must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard
for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL CODES.
WARNING: APPLIANCES EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CORD ARE PROVIDED
WITH A THREE-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG WHICH MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY
GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE,
CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
The tilting braising pan is equipped with a 120 Volt / 60 Hz. / 1 Phase cord and plug which requires only
that it be plugged into a properly grounded 120 volt receptacle.
Do not connect the tilting braising pan to electrical supply until after gas connections have been made.
The electrical wiring diagram is located behind the control panel.
