Installation, Operation and Care of TILTING BRAISING PANS MODELS G300, G400, G30C, G40C, E300, E400, E30C, & E40C KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE GENERAL Vulcan-Hart Tilting Braising Pans are available in two sizes. Models G30 and E30 have a 30-gallon capacity and Models G40 and E40 have a 40-gallon capacity. Models with a suffix of "0" have an open base and models with a suffix of "C" have a closed base. The tilting braising pan is a versatile piece of equipment.
LOCATION For Gas Powered Braising Pans Only The braising pan must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The braising pan, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction of 6" from the sides and 6" from the rear. The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. Recommended clearances are 24" on the sides and back (for servicing), and 36" on the front. The ceiling should be at least 72" from the floor.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS Your Vulcan Tilting Braising Pan must be installed in accordance with: In the United States: 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.
SERVICE CONNECTIONS To reach service and utility connections, remove the left side panel. To remove, hold the panel from underneath and lift it up. While holding the panel up, swing out the lower part of the panel until it clears the top flange and remove. If required, the rear panel and inner side panels (open base models only) can also be removed using the same procedure. GAS CONNECTIONS (see Fig.

OPERATION WARNING: THE TILTING BRAISING PAN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE 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.
7. Lower the braising pan (see OPERATION OF LIFTING SYSTEM in this manual). The braising pan will not operate with the pan in the "up" position. 8. Turn the thermostat to the desired cooking temperature. Complete Shutdown 1. Turn manual shutoff valve to OFF. 2. Turn thermostat and knob of combination control valve to OFF positions. Knob of combination control valve depresses slightly to turn to the off position. 3. Turn On/Off switch to OFF position.
DO NOT use the braising pan as a deep fat fryer; use it only for shallow pan frying (cooking oil film not more than 1/8" thick). Its use for deep-frying could result in a fire hazard. See COOKING HINTS in this manual for additional information. Do not overheat the clad stainless steel plate by setting the temperature well above recommended temperatures, or by operating the braising pan without any fluid inside the pan to absorb heat.
Do not overheat the clad stainless steel plate by setting the temperature well above recommended temperatures, or by operating the braising pan without any fluid inside the pan to absorb heat. Overheating the plate may cause warpage and will carbonize any cooking oil on the plate and cause sticking. The lid is counterbalanced and will stay in any position at which it is placed. After some time, the counterbalancing springs may need to be tightened.
1. Close all front doors. 2. Press the upper half of the rocker switch to raise the braising pan and the lower half of the rocker switch to lower the braising pan. The switch must be held for continuous raising or lowering of the braising pan. In case of power failure, the power lift system cannot be operated. Leave the braising pan in whatever position it is in until the power is restored.
STEAMING INSERTS (Optional) Your tilting braising pan can be used for steaming frozen and fresh foods. The 30-gallon pans (Models E or G30) can be loaded with a maximum of two steaming pans, size 12" x 20" x 4" deep. The 40-gallon pan (Models E or G40) will accept up to three steam pans of this same size. To use the braising pan for steaming, fill the pan with 6 to 7 gallons of water (approximately 2" deep) for 30-gallon models, and 8 to 9 gallons of water (approximately 2" deep) for 40-gallon models.
CLEANING WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING. Clean your braising pan regularly. Keep the plate surface clean. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly braised products, keep pan surface free from carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the pan surface to the food. This results in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency.

MAINTENANCE WARNING: THE TILTING BRAISING PAN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BRAISING PAN. WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. LUBRICATION Lid Mechanism The lid lift mechanism and tension spring are located behind the shroud (sheet metal panel behind the braising pan) on both the left and right rear corners of the braising pan.
Door Hinges Lubricate the front door hinges with a silicone spray lubricant every 6 months. Spray the lubricant on the hinge pin at the top and bottom of all front doors. ADJUSTMENTS At least twice a year, have a Vulcan-Hart authorized service person clean and adjust the tilting braising pan for maximum performance. VENT When cool, annually check the ventilation system. Clean the system of any grease build-up or other obstructions that can affect the flow of the flue gases from the braising pan.
TROUBLESHOOTING GAS HEAT BRAISING PANS PROBLEM Burners do not come on. POSSIBLE CAUSES 1. Gas supply to braising pan is OFF. 2. Manual gas shutoff valve is OFF. 3. Thermostat is not turned ON. 4. Pan is not in lowest position. 5. Problem with the burners. Contact your Vulcan-Hart authorized servicer. Burners produce carbon deposits. 1, Wrong size orifices. 2. Burner air not adjusted properly. 3. Wrong gas supply, 4. Incorrect pressure at supply.
