OM-BLT/BLP-GE 7
Internal wiring for the Braising Pan is supplied complete. When you receive the unit, it
is ready for connection. A wiring diagram is located inside the control box on the right
side of the pan, as well as in this manual.
Your pan was performance-tested at the factory to confirm that all controls and
heating elements were functioning correctly.
Installation is as follows:
1. Set the unit in place and level it by turning the adjustable feet. Crank the pan
body to a completely horizontal position. Check levelness by placing a spirit level
on the bottom of the pan. The unit must be level to avoid uneven cooking across
the pan.
2. Make a waterproof connection with the incoming power line at the electrical
service entrance at the bottom of the connection box at rear of control console.
A BX connection is NOT recommended. ELECTRICALLY GROUND THE UNIT at the
proper terminal.
3. Provide the proper electrical supply as specified on the electrical information
plate. Comply with local codes and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 7-
latest edition.
4. Use only copper wire, rated at least 75ºC and of proper gage. See chart below.
5. Standard equipment is shipped ready for 208V, 240V, or 480V, 3-phase
operation. Refer to the wiring diagram located on the inside cover of the control
box and the instructions below for conversion to single-phase operation.
A jumper wire and “conversion” label are included with the unit. They can be
found in a plastic bag attached to the trunnion assembly inside the control box.
