Tilting

MECHANICAL TILTING
The pan is tilted with the help of an electric motor. It only works

when the control switch (S) are switched on by turning from

position 0 to I.
0 = Off
I = On

Lamp (LS) will light up.
Tilting at variable speed by turning the tilting knob (K):
Emptying the pan turn to the right
Tilting back turn to the left
Turning the knob further will accelerate the tilting function.
.

Tilting is only to be activated with lid fully open and with the

swivel outlet of the water mixing unit in the correct position

(precisely towards the front) and where no object is present

under the appliance in the tilting zone. The pan is tilted down

by turning tilting switch clockwise (to the right) and tilted up by

turning it anti clockwise (to the left). Tilting at variable speed

will only take place as long as the tilting switch (K) is held in

the tilting position. On being released, the switch returns to the

neutral, centre position and due to the drive self-locking, the

boiling pan immediately comes to rest, whatever the position

and filling level. The tilting motor is automatically switched off

in the extreme positions of the pan; the horizontal and fully

tilted positions, so any further actuation of the tilting switch (K)

has no effect.
The heating can no longer be operated with even the smallest

degree of tilt from the horizontal.
Select the rate of tilting so that the produce is discharged in the

region of the pouring lip. This is easy to do by varying the tilting

speed. Avoid spillage of the contents over the rim of the boiling

pan.

Temperature settings

Temperature setting
Dependent on the cooking functions required, the temperature

selection button (T) on the display (AT) is used to set the fol-

lowing recommended temperatures:
Cooking

68° - 212°F (20° - 100°C)

Pressure-cooking

230° - 394°F (110° - 250°C)

Braising

356° - 394°F (180° - 250°C)

When pressure-cooking, select lower heating-up temperatures

(110°C) for low food quantities and higher temperatures

(250°C) for larger food quantities. If the desired value set

exceeds 230°F (110°C), this display will automatically revert to

the temperature < 230°F (110°C) when the working pressure is

reached. Any change to the desired value can then only be

made to set lower temperatures. Any new temperature value

setting can only be entered again after the appliance has been

switched off.
Cooking with pressure
After filling with water and food (either directly into the water or

in insert containers) adjust the temperature to 230°F (110°C)

and switch on the pan. The appliance starts to heat. After-

wards close the lid. The generated steam will press the

remaining air out of the pan. Therefore, the lid regulation and

safety valve must remain open (handle in position A) until only

steam evaporates out of the valve opening. Now, the valve is

to be closed (i.e. handle is to be moved to position B). Within

the pan, the pressure will be increased to 0,45 bar (corre-

sponding to 228°F (109 °C)) and remains constant. When the

heating is switched off, by hand or automatically, the pan

should be cooled during about 4-6 minutes, in order to decom-

pose the steam and the pressure

4.9

Switching off

The appliance is shut down by turning the power isolator (H)

(available as an option) as well as the control switch (S) to

zero. All lights will extinguish when this is done.
In the case of faults, the appliance must also be disconnected

from the electric supply connection.

Power failure

The loss of mains electricity while a cooking pan is being used

can result in cooking being halted or interrupted. Cooking staff

are then required to make an additional intervention in the con-

trols or to monitor further processing.

LID LOCK

5.1

Lid elements

H Lock lever
Causes the lock hook to snap in.

S Lid regulation and safety valve
Combined valve for manual operation and as safety valve

(blows off automatically at pressures above 6.5 psi (0.45 bar)).
Position:

D Steam outlet
The condensed steam flows out through this canalization.

V Steam release valve with safety lock
This valve predominantly has a safety function. With the valve

open, steam pressure for cooking cannot build up in the cook-

ing vessel. The steam release valve can be closed only when

the lid is properly closed and the lock mechanism is correctly

snapped in. Only then it is possible to build up the steam pres-

sure in the appliance.

Caution:
At the steam outlet (D/Fig. 5) lar
ge amounts of steam blow

out.
