Installation, Operation and Care of

GAS RESTAURANT RANGES

90 SERIES AND VG SERIES

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GENERAL

Vulcan ranges and ovens are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your range 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

UNCRATING

This range was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Uncrate unit carefully and place in a work-accessible area as near to its final installed position as possible. Remove all shipping wire and wood blocking.

Before installing, check the electrical service (convection oven series ranges only) and type of gas supply (natural or propane) to make sure they agree with the specifications on the rating plate located on the inside of the lower kick panel. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company immediately.

LOCATION

The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

The range, when installed, must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 6" (152 mm) at the sides and 6" (152 mm) at the rear. Clearance from non-combustible construction is 0" at the sides and 6" (152 mm) at the rear.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A minimum front clearance of 40" (1016 mm) is required.

The range 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 to allow for combustion of the gas at the burners.

Remove two screws from the rear of the range and install the

Fig. 1

tie-down strap shipped with the casters using these screws (Fig. 1). Attach the gas line strain relief to the tie-down strap at the rear of the range (Fig. 1).

If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect this restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the range to its installation position.

Separate instructions for installing casters to the range are included with the casters.

Note: If the range is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended that the range be releveled front to back and side to side.

Installation of Broiler/Griddle Bricks

The Restaurant Range broiler/griddle utilizes ceramic fire bricks for heat radiation of the burners. Install the broiler bricks before connecting the gas supply line.

1. Remove the six 5

/4" x 21/4" (133 x 57 mm) and (6) 51/4" x 51/16" (133 x 128 mm) bricks from the

shipping box.

2. Install the six 51/4" x 21/4" (133 x 57 mm) bricks to the left- and right-hand sides of the burner. To install the bricks, insert them one at a time through the opening in the front of the broiler. Angle the brick sideways so that it will slip between the burner edges. Set the bricks flat in place resting on these edges. Push each brick installed as far to the rear of the burner as possible so that the last brick will install easily (Fig. 3).

3. Install the six 5

/4" x 51/16" (133 x 128 mm) bricks to the center burners as described in Step 2.

Installation of Standard Griddle Top Bricks

The griddle is shipped mounted on the range when it is received by the customer. However, the thermostat bulb, capillary and griddle bricks must be installed before operating the griddle.

The bricks are shipped in a rectangular box with the range.

1. Locate the bricks and gently unpack them (bricks are fragile and brake easily). There will be (4) bricks per griddle baffle section, (2) 10" x 4" (254 x 102 mm) and (2) 7" x 4" (178 x 102 mm) bricks.

NOTE: If a brick has been broken into two pieces, it can still be used. Just place the pieces into position as shown in Fig. 4. However, if a brick is broken into more than two pieces, it will need to be replaced. Contact your local Vulcan servicer.

Fig. 4

2. Lift up and secure the griddle plate assembly.

3. Install (2) 10" x 4" (254 x 102 mm) bricks to the front of each baffle section, with the mitered edge facing up. Install (2) 7" x 4" (178 x 102 mm) bricks to the rear of each baffle section (Fig. 4).

Installation of Thermostat Bulb and Capillary

The thermostat bulb and capillary are located underneath the griddle plate.

1. Uncoil a few turns (only enough to reach into the V-baffle) of the bulb and capillary assembly for each griddle thermostat (Fig. 5).

Fig. 5

2. Carefully feed the bulb into the V-baffle in each section of the griddle. There will be (1) capillary bulb for each griddle thermostat. Make sure that the bulb is fully inserted into the V-baffle so there is no exposure of the capillary to the burner flame (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6 Fig. 7

3. After all bricks and capillary bulbs are installed, carefully align and lower griddle assembly down so that it is resting evenly on the unit. Check to insure that all excess capillary is resting below the brick baffle area (Fig. 7).

Clean and Season the griddle top before placing the unit into operation.

Installation of Hot Top Bricks

The Restaurant Range hot top sections utilize composite/mortar fire bricks for heat distribution of the burners. Install these bricks before connecting the gas supply line or installing the back riser.

1. The composite/mortar bricks are shipped in a rectangular cardboard box. Locate box and carefully remove two 10" x 4" (254 x 102 mm), and two 7" x 4" (178 x 102 mm) bricks. There should be one box of bricks per hot top section ordered.

2. Rest the hot top plate in a secure area.

3. Install two 10" x 4" (254 x 102 mm) composite/mortar bricks, placing the miter edge, one to each side of the front burner baffle area (see Fig. 4).

4. Install two 7" x 4" (178 x 102 mm) bricks, one to each side of rear burner baffle area ( Fig. 4).

5. If burner has been strapped down, remove the wire strapping device, using wire cutters.

6. Check to ensure that all bricks and the burner are secure. Carefully replace the hot top section on top of the range.

Backsplash

The standard Restaurant Range is equipped with a 23" (584 mm) high backsplash and shelf.

1. Remove the backsplash components from the crating materials.

2. Check the backsplash component parts against the list on page 10 to ensure that all the required parts for the backsplash installation have been obtained. (See Fig’s. 8 & 9.) If any parts are missing, contact your dealer or closest parts depot immediately.

3. Assemble the required components as shown in Fig’s. 8 and 9.

4. Lift the assembly up, sliding the channels into the space provided at the rear of the range (this may require two people).
