VE30 / VE40 Electric Braising Pan - SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
Certain procedures in this section require electrical test or measurements while power is applied to the
machine. Exercise extreme caution at all times. If test points are not easily accessible, disconnect power
and follow lockout / tagout procedures, attach test equipment and reapply power to the test.
Certain procedures in this section require electrical test or measurements while power is applied to the

and follow lockout / tagout procedures, attach test equipment and reapply power to the test.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
CALIBRATION
NOTE: Verify condition of thermocouple as outlined
under THERMOCOUPLE TEST before proceeding.
1. At geometric center on the pan cooking surface,
clean an area approximately 3" inches in
diameter.
2. Apply a thin layer of fresh cooking oil to cleaned
area and place a temperature sensing disk on
pan cooking surface.
3. Turn on/off switch on and set temperature dial to
250°F.
4. Monitor control panel heat light (red). When
temperature controller is calling for heat, light will
be on. If temperature controller is satisfied, light
will be off.
A. Allow temperature controller to cycle three
times to stabilize pan temperature.
B. Record temperature when temperature
controller cycles off and on for next three
cycles.
5. Calculate the differential by subtracting
temperature indicated when heat light goes out
from temperature indicated when heat light
comes on.
Differential = Heat Light OFF - Heat Light ON.
EXAMPLE: 260° (light off) - 240° (light on) = 20°
A. Calculated differential should be less than
20°F.
1) If differential is less than 20°F,
temperature controller is functioning
properly.
2) If differential is more than 20°F,
temperature controller is
malfunctioning.
• Install a replacement temperature
controller and check calibration.
6. Calculate average temperature by adding
temperature indicated when heat lamp goes out
to temperature indicated when heat lamp comes
on and divide this answer by 2.
[Temp. (light off) + Temp (light on)] ÷ 2 = Average
Temp.
EXAMPLE: 260° + 240° ÷2 = 250°
A. A. If average temperature is less than 10°F
of dial setting, temperature controller is
properly calibrated.
B. B. If average temperature is more than 10°F
of dial setting, temperature controller
calibration must be adjusted.
7. Using temperature scale on overlay as a guide,
align edge on a short piece of tape to temperature
calculated in Step 6 and apply tape to knob as a
reference point.
8. Remove temperature dial from shaft.
9. Loosen screws on back of dial.
A. Hold knob and rotate dial to edge of tape
used for reference. This adjustment offsets
indicated temperature on dial to actual
temperature measured.
NOTE: With knob facing user, a clockwise rotation
increases temperature and a counterclockwise
rotation decrease temperature.
B. Hold dial and knob together to maintain
adjusted setting and tighten screws.
• Proceed to average temperature.
