Blodgett BLP-E Series - Manual (Page 10)

8 OM-BLT/BLP-E
Installation
Initial Start-Up
Now that your braising pan has been installed, you should test it to ensure that the
unit 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 1/4” to 1/2” (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. Turn the tilting handwheel clockwise to pour out the water and to confirm that
the pan body can be tilted smoothly from horizontal to vertical. For power tilt
models, push the UP/DOWN switch to confirm operation of tilting system.
If the unit functions as described above, it is ready for use. If it does not, contact your
local Authorized Service Agency.
WARNING
WATER IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAN CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS. AVOID CONTACT WITH HOT
WATER WHEN EMPTYING UNIT.
6. For conversion from 3-phase to 1-phase
a. Verify that the branch circuit wiring is adequate for any increased
amperage requirements. (See table on previous page)
b. 1-phase requires two jumper wires. One jumper wire exists on the terminal
block for 3- phase input. The second jumper wire is located in a plastic bag
inside the control box.
c. Attach jumper wires to terminal block as per wiring diagram for 1 phase
supply.
d. Complete “conversion label” (supplied in bag) and adhere it to the control
box near the UL data plate.
