Operating Instructions
WARNING
The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the tilting braising pan.
Before First Use
Using a non-corrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner, clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts and the
interior of the tilting braising pan. Follow the cleaner manufacturer’s directions. Rinse thoroughly and drain the pan. Wipe
dry with a soft clean cloth.
Controls
TILT SWITCH (UP/DOWN) ....... Push up to raise tilting braising pan; push down to lower tilting braising pan.
POWER SWITCH (ON/OFF) .... Turns power on to the lift motor. Note: It is not necessary to have the power on when
using the braising pan. Turn power on only when you intend to operate the tilt feature.
This will save energy as well as prevent the motor from overheating.
AMBER LIGHT .......................... Will light when the power is turned on to the lift motor.
THERMOSTAT .......................... Turns tilting braising pan ON and maintains set temperature by controlling power supply.
Temperature settings range from 1 to 10. (SEE COOKING GUIDELINES in this manual for
temperature range for settings 1 - 10.)
RED TEMPERATURE LIGHT .. Will light when heating elements are supplying heat to the tilting braising pan.
Start-Up Procedure
1. Ensure that the braising pan is in the DOWN position.
2. Turn THERMOSTAT dial to desired temperature. The red TEMPERATURE LIGHT will come on.
3. When braising pan has reached set temperature, the red TEMPERATURE LIGHT will go o and the heating
elements will shut o. The heating elements will cycle on and o thereafter to maintain set temperature. The red
TEMPERATURE LIGHT will be on when the heating elements are on, and o when the heating elements are o.
4. Preheat braising pan and allow it to cycle to equalize heat across the entire surface.
5. Water will boil faster with the lid down.
6. Turn THERMOSTAT to OFF when braising pan is not in use.
7. Turn power switch to motor OFF.
Daily Shutdown Procedure
1. To turn tilting braising pan OFF, turn THERMOSTAT dial to OFF.
2. To turn power to tilt motor OFF, turn power switch to OFF.

Electric Modular Skillets Operation
Tilting the Braising Pan
1. DO NOT try to tilt braising pan with lid down.
2. Turn power switch to the ‘ON’ position.
3. Make sure the receiving pan is in place.
4. To tilt braising pan, push and hold TILT SWITCH in the UP mode until desired pan position has been reached. The
braising pan will empty when raised to the top tilt position.
When the braising pan is raised 5° or more, the heating elements will be turned o automatically. The braising pan will
not operate once the pan has been tilted.
5. Food is poured through the removable strainer (Figure 1) into a food receiving pan positioned under the lip of the
pouring spout (Figure 1).
6. To lower braising pan, push and hold TILT SWITCH in the DOWN mode.

Cleaning
WARNING
Disconnect the power supply to the appliance before cleaning or servicing.
After each use, allow the tilting braising pan to cool before cleaning. Keep exposed cleanable areas of the tilting braising
pan clean at all times. Do not get water in electrical box or on any electrical component.
1. Thoroughly wash pan, pouring spout, (see Figure 1) lid and exterior surfaces with mild detergent and warm water.
If necessary, soak pan to remove food that is stuck to pan surface. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean
cloth.
2. Clean removable strainer and receiving pan support with mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe
dry with a soft clean cloth.
WARNING
The appliance and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the skillet.
CAUTION
Do not use cleaning agents that are corrosive.

Maintenance
NOTICE
Contact the factory, factory representative or local service company to perform maintenance and repairs.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power supply and place a tag at the disconnect switch to indicate that you are working on
the circuit before performing any maintenance.
WARNING
The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the tilting braising pan.
Hydraulic System
Service
The hydraulic system has been adjusted and tested at the factory and no further adjustment should be needed. If the unit
fails to operate properly, all service work must be performed by a qualied service agent.
Maintenance
1. Hot oil in the Hydraulic System is one of the primary causes of poor operation. When the tilt system is not in use turn
power switch o.
2. Inspect hydraulic hoses for wear and aging.
3. Check that uid levels are kept full.
4. To replace oil, ll through ller breather.
5. Use proper oil as specied by factory. TYPE: AWH32 or equivalent.
6. Set up regular schedule for checking the oil temperature, hydraulic hoses and keeping the equipment clean. A thick
layer of dirt acts as an insulation and prevents the hydraulic system from cooling properly.

Electric Modular Skillets Maintenance
Adjustments and Controls
Adjust Pan Speed
There are three controls available on this power unit. The rst is an adjustable relief valve mounted into the custom
aluminum manifold block. The other two control the linear speed of the actuator.
Relief Valve
The relief valve is located underneath an aluminum hexagon cover on the side of the custom manifold block. This relief
valve is factory set to 825 P.S.I. and locked and should not be adjusted.
If adjustments are necessary, remove the hexagon cover which will give access to the relief valve screw. With the
pump running, and with a suitable at blade style screwdriver, rotate the screw clockwise to increase pressure, and
anti clockwise to decrease pressure. While this operation is being carried out some oil will leak down the threads of the
adjusting screw.
To obtain the pressure required, a pressure gauge will have to be located in the circuit. The best location is on the
cylinder hose. To set the pressure, energize the solenoid to extend the cylinder fully and thus “deadhead” the system. The
pressure can be set as indicated above. When adjustment is complete, replace the hexagon cover. This will seal the relief
valve area. The actual factory set pressure is noted on the label and should not be exceeded as this aects the HP draw
on the electric motor.
Flow Control
!
IMPORTANT !
It should be noted that if the cylinder speed is restricted by the ow control valves, the balance of oil not
delivered to the cylinder will go over the relief @ 825 P.S.I. which will cause unwanted heat in the reservoir.
There are two ow control valves mounted on the power unit and located on the solenoid valve subplate. The ow
control valves will restrict the capacity of oil passing through them when the knurled knob is screwed in - in a clockwise
direction. This action will reduce the linear speed of the cylinder. Turning the ow control valve adjustment in the opposite
direction - anti clockwise, will increase the speed of the cylinder. One ow control valve (right side) will allow adjustment
of the extension speed (travel speed should be set at minimum 20 seconds), the other (left side) the retraction speed.
(Retraction speed should be set at minimum 10 seconds).

Overheating of System
1. Continuous operation at relief setting.
2. Excessive slippage or internal leakage.
3. Fluid viscosity too high or low.
4. Hose I.D. too small causing high velocity.
5. Improper air circulation around reservoir.
6. System relief valve set too high.
7. Power unit operating in direct sunlight or ambient temperature is too high.
Pump Makes Excessive Noise
1. Check for vacuum leaks in suction line.
2. Vacuum leak at pump shaft seal.
3. Check alignment with drive mechanism. Misalignment will cause wear and subsequent high noise level operation.
4. Relief valve set too high.
5. Aeration of uids in reservoir (return line above uid level).
6. Worn cam ring, damaged gear or faulty bearing.
7. Reversed rotation.
8. Plugged lines.
9. Oil viscosity too high or temperature too low.
10. Loose or worn pump parts.
11. Pump housing bolts loose or not properly torqued.
Solenoid Valves
1. Voltage too low.
2. Short circuit, open connection.
3. Wrong voltage.
4. Foreign matter in uid causing valves to stick or plug.
