9. Adequate space for proper service and operation is required. DO NOT block any
air intake spacings to the combustion chamber or obstruct air flow.
10. After the pan has been connected to the gas supply, check all gas joints for
leaks. A soap solution or other suitable leak detector should be used. Do not use
flame to check for leaks.
11. PRESSURE TEST WARNING
a. Test pressure exceeding 0.5 PSIG (3.45kPa). During pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at pressures exceeding 0.5 PSIG , the
braising pan and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system.
b. Test pressure equal to or less than 0.5 PSIG (3.45kPa). During pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less than
0.5 PSIG , the braising pan must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
Installation
Initial Start-Up
Now that your braising pan has been installed, you should test it to ensure that the
unit is operating correctly.
1. Remove literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of the
unit.
2. Put enough water into the pan to cover the bottom to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch
(6 to 13 mm).. With the pan body in the horizontal position, note how the water
lies in the pan, to confirm that the pan was leveled properly during installation.
3. Following “To Start Pan” instructions for your pan model, begin heating the water
at a thermostat setting of 235°F. At this setting, heating should continue until the
water boils.
4. To shut down the unit, turn the thermostat dial to “OFF”.
5. Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to pour out the water and to confirm that
the pan body can be tilted smoothly from horizontal to vertical. For power tilt
models, push the UP/DOWN switch to confirm operation of tilting system.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact your
local Authorized Service Agency.
