VG30, VG40, VE30 & VE40 BRAISING PANS
GENERAL
Vulcan-Hart Tilting Braising Pans are available in two sizes. Models VG30 and VE30 have a 30-gallon
(114 L) capacity, and Models VG40 and VE40 have a 40-gallon (151 L) capacity.
The tilting braising pan is a versatile piece of equipment. It allows you to stew, simmer, pan fry, braise,
grill or saute, and all with a very uniform heat pattern.
Standard features on all models include thermostat, manual lift, drop-away food pan support and four
flanged feet.
Optional features include automatic power lift and casters.
Your Vulcan braising pan is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
Vulcan-Hart suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided.
INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the electrical service and gas supply (natural or propane) agree with the
specifications on the rating plate located on the left front edge of the table top.
UNPACKING
This braising pan was carefully inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company
assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of this shipment.
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the tilting braising pan is found
to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
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.
–4–
VG30, VG40, VE30 & VE40 BRAISING PANS
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 cross currents within the room.
HOLES PROVIDED
FOR RESTRAINT
PL-56652
Fig. 1
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas and/or electric supplies before
disconnection. Reconnect this restraint prior to turning the gas and/or electric supplies on and prior
to returning the braising pan to its originally installed position.

SERVICE CONNECTIONS
To access service and utility connections, remove the left side panel. To remove, hold the panel from
underneath and lift it up. While holding the panel up, swing out the lower part of the panel until it clears
the bottom flange and remove the panel. If required, the rear panel can also be removed using the same
procedure.
The gas-powered braising pan is supplied with a 120-volt power cord.
The electrical connection for the electric braising pan can be accessed from the rear or the left panel.
–6–
VG30, VG40, VE30 & VE40 BRAISING PANS
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.
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 of 40" is recommended 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.

VG30, VG40, VE30 & VE40 BRAISING PANS
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. do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the national electrical
code and/or other local codes.
The field connection box for field wire connection of Models VE30 and VE40 is located at the back of
the braising pan. A knockout hole is provided for a 1" (2.5 cm) conduit connection.
1. Remove the field connection box cover plate. Mount suitable 1" (2.5 cm) conduit fitting in the
conduit opening provided on the bottom surface.
2. Connect field wire to the terminal block as indicated on the wiring diagram. The wiring diagram
is located on the inside of the field box lid. Wire must be of the type suitable for 75°C service and
at the suitable gauge for loads shown on the data plate.
3. After making the connections, replace the control box cover plate.
4. The braising pan must be grounded by installing a properly grounded lead to the ground lug
located inside the field connection box.
5. The electronic ignition used to light the burners require proper grounding.

CLEANING
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.
PL-41753
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.
Do not hose down or power wash.
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.

MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow
Lockout / Tagout procedures before performing any maintenance.
The tilting braising pan and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the braising pan.
LUBRICATION
Lid Mechanism
1. The lid lift mechanism and tension spring are located behind the backsplash (sheet metal panel
behind the braising pan) on both the left and right rear corners of the braising pan.
2. Take the cover off by prying and lifting up (Fig. 7).
3. For smooth operation of the lid, lubricate these mechanisms with 8 to 10 drops of lubricating
machine oil every 6 months. Place a few drops of oil between the lid arm and stationary block,
and a few drops on the shaft around which the spring is coiled.
4. Replace the cover to maintain smooth operation.

ADJUSTMENTS
At least twice a year, have a Vulcan-Hart authorized service person clean and adjust the tilting braising
pan for maximum performance.
FLUE
When cool, annually check the flue. Clean the flue of any grease buildup or other obstructions that can
affect the flow of the flue gases from the braising pan.
