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, 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.
START-UP PROCEDURE 1. Ensure that the braising pan is in the DOWN position. 2. Turn THERMOSTAT dial to desired temperature (reference Cooking Guidelines, Page 11). 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 cycle on and off with the heating elements. 4.
NOTE Excessive, consecutive lifts may cause the motor to overheat and activate the thermal overload causing the motor to shut down. Should this occur, a cooling off time will be necessary to reset and continue the lifting operation. 5.0 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Disconnect electrical power supply before cleaning. Before cleaning allow the tilting braising pan to cool and then clean it. Keep exposed cleanable areas of the tilting braising pan clean at all times.
