LOCATION

For Gas-Powered Braising Pans Only

The braising pan must be kept free and clear from combustible substances. The braising pan, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible construction of 2" (5 cm) from the sides and 6" (15 cm) from the rear. Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction is 0" from the sides and 6" (15 cm) from the rear.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. Recommended clearances are 24" (61 cm) on the sides and back (for servicing), and 36" (91 cm) on the front.

The braising pan must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room suitable for the amount of combustion gas feeding the braising pan burners.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the braising pan. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the braising pan. Avoid wall-type fans which create air crosscurrents within the room.

Gas-Powered Braising Pans Equipped with Casters (Optional)

If casters are assembled to the braising pan, the installation must be made using:

1. A connector (not supplied by Vulcan) that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 (latest edition) or Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16 (latest edition).
2. A quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9 (latest edition).

Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance, without depending on the connector and/or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit braising pan movement. Attach the restraint at the rear of the braising pan (Fig. 1).

The electrical connection for the electric braising pan can be accessed from the rear or the left panel.

GAS CONNECTIONS (See Fig. 2)

All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

Connect a ^3/_4 " (nominal) gas supply to the braising pan. Recommended incoming gas line pressure is 7" W.C. (Water Column) (48.3 kPa) for natural gas or 11" W.C. (75.8 kPa) for propane gas.

Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt and piping compound.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the tilting braising pan.

Natural gas and propane gas braising pans are equipped with fixed orifices, and no adjustment is necessary. The manifold is set at 3.7 W.C. (Water Column) (25.5 kPa) for natural gas and 10" W.C. (68.9 kPa) for propane gas.

⚠ WARNING Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

The electrical control circuit must be connected (see CONTROL CIRCUIT POWER CONNECTION in this manual).

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When test pressures exceed 12 psig (3.45 kPa), the tilting braising pan and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When test pressures are 12 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the tilting braising pan must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

VENTILATION

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the tilting braising pan. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

From the termination of the braising pan flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system, an 18" (46 cm) minimum clearance must be maintained. The flue is not to be directly connected to the ventilation system.

Local jurisdictions may require a ventilation system to exhaust the steam from this appliance. Clearance should be provided for the lid to be raised without interference with the hood. A ceiling that is too low may not allow for an installation of a hood to meet this requirement.

CONTROL CIRCUIT POWER CONNECTION — GAS BRAISING PANS (See Fig. 2)

⚠ WARNING Appliances equipped with a flexible electric supply cord are provided with a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician.

A tilting braising pan is quite versatile. It can be used for roasting, simmering, boiling, sautéing, searing, frying, warming, holding, proofing, thawing, browning, steaming, braising, griddling or stewing. It can be used as an oversized skillet, as a bain marie, as a proofing oven, as a stock pot, as a kettle or as an even-heat range top. It can be used for cooking breakfasts, lunches and dinners.

Your Vulcan tilting braising pan is a multi-purpose unit that can be used for virtually any type of cooking, except deep fat frying, with great speed, in large volume and with considerable savings in labor and energy.

STAINLESS STEEL EQUIPMENT CARE AND CLEANING

(Supplied courtesy of NAFEM. For more information, visit their web site at www.nafem.org)

Contrary to popular belief, stainless steels ARE susceptible to rusting.

Corrosion on metals is everywhere. It is recognized quickly on iron and steel as unsightly yellow/orange rust. Such metals are called “active” because they actively corrode in a natural environment when their atoms combine with oxygen to form rust.

Stainless steels are passive metals because they contain other metals, like chromium, nickel and manganese that stabilize the atoms. 400 series stainless steels are called ferritic, contain chromium, and are magnetic; 300 series stainless steels are called austenitic, contain chromium and nickel; and 200 series stainless, also austenitic, contains manganese, nitrogen and carbon. Austenitic types of stainless are not magnetic, and generally provide greater resistance to corrosion than ferritic types.

With 12-30 percent chromium, an invisible passive film covers the steel's surface acting as a shield against corrosion. As long as the film is intact and not broken or contaminated, the metal is passive and stainless. If the passive film of stainless steel has been broken, equipment starts to corrode. At its end, it rusts.

Enemies of Stainless Steel

There are three basic things which can break down stainless steel's passivity layer and allow corrosion to occur.

1. Mechanical abrasion
2. Deposits and water
3. Chlorides

Mechanical abrasion means those things that will scratch a steel surface. Steel pads, wire brushes and scrapers are prime examples.

Water comes out of the faucet in varying degrees of hardness. Depending on what part of the country you live in, you may have hard or soft water. Hard water will leave spots, and when heated leave deposits behind that if left to sit, will break down the passive layer and rust stainless steel. Other deposits from food preparation and service must be properly removed.

Chlorides are found nearly everywhere. They are in water, food and table salt. One of the worst chloride perpetrators can come from household and industrial cleaners.

So what does all this mean? Don't Despair!

Here are a few steps that can help prevent stainless steel rust.

1. Use the proper tools.

When cleaning stainless steel products, use non-abrasive tools. Soft cloths and plastic scouring pads will not harm steel's passive layer. Stainless steel pads also can be used but the scrubbing motion must be in the direction of the manufacturers' polishing marks.

2. Clean with the polish lines.

Some stainless steel comes with visible polishing lines or “grain.” When visible lines are present, always scrub in a motion parallel to the lines. When the grain cannot be seen, play it safe and use a soft cloth or plastic scouring pad.

3. Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride containing cleaners.

While many traditional cleaners are loaded with chlorides, the industry is providing an ever-increasing choice of non-chloride cleaners. If you are not sure of chloride content in the cleaner used, contact your cleaner supplier. If your present cleaner contains chlorides, ask your supplier if they have an alternative. Avoid cleaners containing quaternary salts; it also can attack stainless steel and cause pitting and rusting.

4. Treat your water.

Though this is not always practical, softening hard water can do much to reduce deposits. There are certain filters that can be installed to remove distasteful and corrosive elements. To insure proper water treatment, call a treatment specialist.

5. Keep your food equipment clean.

Use alkaline, alkaline chlorinated or non-chloride cleaners at recommended strength. Clean frequently to avoid build-up of hard, stubborn stains. If you boil water in stainless steel equipment, remember the single most likely cause of damage is chlorides in the water. Heating cleaners that contain chlorides have a similar effect.

6. Rinse, rinse, rinse.

If chlorinated cleaners are used, rinse and wipe equipment and supplies dry immediately. The sooner you wipe off standing water, especially when it contains cleaning agents, the better. After wiping equipment down, allow it to air dry; oxygen helps maintain the stainless steel's passivity film.

Review

1. Stainless steels rust when passivity (film-shield) breaks down as a result of scrapes, scratches, deposits and chlorides.
2. Stainless steel rust starts with pits and cracks.
3. Use the proper tools. Do not use steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers to clean stainless steel.
4. Use non-chlorinated cleaners at recommended concentrations. Use only chloridefree cleaners.
5. Soften your water. Use filters and softeners whenever possible.
6. Wipe off cleaning agent(s) and standing water as soon as possible. Prolonged contact causes eventual problems.

To learn more about chloride-stress corrosion and how to prevent it, contact the equipment manufacturer or cleaning materials supplier.

CLEANING

⚠ WARNING Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout procedures before cleaning.

Clean your braising pan regularly. Keep the plate surface clean. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly braised products, keep the 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. Worst of all, carbonized grease tends to cling to the foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.

After Each Use

Clean the pan surface with a brush or flexible spatula.

Remove the strainer (Fig. 6) at the pouring lip of the braising pan by pulling it toward the back of the pan. Clean the strainer in a sink. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Replace strainer (Fig 6).

Fig. 6

Once A Day:

Thoroughly clean the back, sides and front of the pan. Also clean the inside and outside surfaces of the lid.

Once A Week:

Clean the pan surface thoroughly. If necessary, use a griddle stone or brush on the surface. A detergent may be used on the pan surface to help clean it, but be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed.

Clean other stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft, dry cloth. To remove discolorations, use a nonabrasive cleaner. If the braising pan usage is very high, consider going through the weekly cleaning procedures more often than once a week.

When cleaning the braising pan, it is helpful to fill the pan with approximately 10 gallons (38 L) of warm water and add detergent. After cleaning, raise the braising pan to drain all water (place a bucket or container under the pouring lip). Then repeat the procedures for rinsing with clean water.

COMPRESSION DRAW-OFF VALVE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Daily After Use

Remove draw-off valve stem assembly for cleaning (Fig. 7).

1. Turn the valve handle counterclockwise until it stops.
2. Pull the valve handle back until it stops.
3. Turn large hex nut counterclockwise until the valve stem assembly is loose.
4. Pull the assembly straight out of the valve body.
5. Remove wing nut and handle. Unscrew valve stem from bonnet.
6. Wash valve body and stem assembly with mild soap and water, and then rinse. Make sure all food residue is removed from inside valve body.
7. Leave assembly apart to air dry.

Install draw-off valve assembly:

1. Apply Petrol-Gel lubricant to valve stem threads, O-Ring, rubber plug face and large hex nut threads.

2. Thread the valve stem into bonnet till valve stem can be pulled through bonnet.

3. Insert valve stem into valve body.

4. Install large hex nut hand tight.

5. Install valve handle, lock washer and wing nut onto the valve stem.

6. Turn valve handle clockwise until closed. Do not overtighten.
