Frequently Asked Questions - BTT-12E Blodgett

How do I install the BTT-12E braising pan?

Position the appliance on the counter with enough rear clearance for tilting. Mark and drill four 7/16" holes, apply sealant along the base perimeter, and bolt down using 5/16-18 hex cap screws with flat washers. Connect to a waterproof electrical supply and ground the unit.

What are the thermostat settings for different cooking methods?

Simmering: 1-4 (200°F), Sautéing: 5-6 (225-275°F), Searing: 7-8 (300-350°F), Pan Frying: 8-9 (325-375°F), Grilling: 9-10 (350-425°F). Preheat on high (#10) and then adjust as needed.

How do I tilt the pan?

Ensure the tilt knob is disengaged. Use the optional level bar on the right side of the control panel, which provides two positions: level and slightly tilted. The pan can be tilted forward for draining. Do not grease the pivot bearings as they are oilite and require no lubrication.

What should I do if the unit does not operate?

Check that the power supply is on and the circuit breakers are not tripped. If the power is on, the thermostat or elements may be defective. Contact a qualified service technician for repairs.

How do I clean the BTT-12E?

Disconnect the power supply. Soak the cooking surface with water and mild soap to remove stuck food. Wash the entire unit with mild detergent and water, rinse, and dry. Avoid getting water into electrical components. Clean the pour spout, strainer, cover, and sides similarly.

Can I use this pan at home?

No, the BTT-12E is intended for commercial use only. It is not designed or certified for household use.

What power supply do I need?

The unit requires an electrical connection matching its rating. Available voltages include 208V, 220V, 240V, 380V, 415V, 480V, or 600V, single or three phase. The specific amperage depends on voltage and phase; refer to the data plate.

Is a cover included?

An optional cover is available, which helps water boil faster. It is not standard but can be used to speed up heating.

What maintenance is required?

Regular cleaning after each use is essential. Do not oil the pivot bearings as they are self-lubricating (oilite). Check the tilt mechanism for smooth operation. Any servicing should be performed by authorized personnel.

How do I ensure safe operation?

Follow all warnings in the manual. Install the unit per instructions, use proper electrical connections and grounding, and never operate during a power failure. Disconnect power before cleaning. Read the entire manual before use.
