Blodgett BTT-E Series - Manual (Page 8)

6 OM-BTT-E
Initial Start-Up
Now that the Braising Pan has been installed, you should test it to ensure that it is
operating correctly.
1. Remove all literature and packing materials from the interior and exterior of the
unit.
2. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
3. Put enough water into the pan to cover its bottom to a depth of ¼” to ½” (6 to 13
mm). With the pan body in the horizontal position, note how the water covers the
pan bottom. This is a good method to use for confirming that the unit is properly
leveled.
4. Set the thermostat to 235°F. The heating indicator light should come on to show
that the pan is heating. Heating should continue until the water boils.
5. To shut the unit down, turn the thermostat dial to “OFF.”
6. Position a container for the pour-off. Turn the handwheel clockwise to pour the
water out. This will confirm that the pan body tilts from horizontal to vertical.
CAUTION
STAND AWAY FROM THE HOT WATER
WHILE TILTING THE PAN TO EMPTY IT.
