VG30, VG40, VE30 & VE40 BRAISING PANS

Lighting and Shutdown of Pilot

Lighting instructions are also located on the front panel.

1. Turn main gas supply to the braising pan to the ON position at the shutoff valve.

2. Lower the braising pan (see OPERATION OF LIFTING SYSTEM in this manual). The braising

pan will not operate with the pan in the UP position (5 degrees or higher from horizontal).

3. Turn the black on/off switch to the ON position. The ON position is indicated by a glowing amber

light on the control panel.

4. Turn the thermostat to the desired cooking temperature.

5. If pilot is extinguished, turn the gas supply and the on/off switch to the OFF position. Wait 5

minutes before relighting.

Nightly Shutdown

1. Return pan to the down position.

2. Turn the on/off switch to the OFF position.

Extended Shutdown

Turn the on/off switch to the OFF position and turn off the gas supply.

Operating the Gas Braising Pan

The entire flue duct opening (located across the rear of the braising pan) must be left uncovered.

Turn the on/off switch to the ON position and turn the thermostat to the desired temperature to put the

braising pan into operation.

To prevent discoloration of the stainless steel cooking surface, do not turn the heat on unless the

braising pan is covered with a fluid, a thin layer of cooking oil, or food.

DO NOT use the braising pan as a deep fat fryer; use it only for shallow pan frying (cooking oil film

not more than

/8" [0.3 cm] thick). Its use for deep frying could result in a fire hazard. See COOKING

HINTS in this manual for additional information.

Do not overheat the clad stainless steel plate by setting the temperature well above recommended

temperatures or by operating the braising pan without any fluid inside the pan to absorb heat.

Overheating the plate may cause warpage and will carbonize any food or cooking oil on the plate and

cause sticking.

In case of a power failure, the combination control valve will shut off the gas flow. In the event of a power

failure, immediately turn the on/off switch to the OFF position. Once power is restored, turn the on/off

switch to the ON position to resume cooking.

The lid is spring-loaded and will stay in any position at which it is placed. After some time, the springs

may need to be tightened. Call your local Vulcan-authorized servicer to make these adjustments.
