Installation, Operation and Care of

ECONOLINE SERIES GAS RESTAURANT RANGES

KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GENERAL

Your Vulcan Econoline Range is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of satisfactory performance. Vulcan­Hart Company suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications
on the rating plate located on the inside lower front control cover. If the supply and equipment
requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart
Company immediately.

UNPACKING

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 range carefully and place in a work-accessible area as near to its final installed position as
possible. Remove all shipping wire and wood blocking. Remove accessories (Fig. 1).

LOCATION

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

The range, when installed, must have a minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible
construction of 6" at the sides and 6" at the rear.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 40" 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.

ASSEMBLY

Ranges Mounted on Casters

When ranges are mounted on casters, you must use a flexible connector (not supplied) that complies
with the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition), and a
quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With
Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 (latest edition).

Provide a gas line strain relief to limit movement of the range without depending on the connector and/
or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit movement of the range. Attach the gas
line strain relief to the rear of the range (Fig. 2).

With top cooking plates in their normal positions, assemble splasher back to range (Fig. 4), and fasten
in place with #10 sheet metal screws provided.

On 60, 160 and 260 ranges, use the center bracing angle.

Once splasher is secured in position, slide shelf into mounting brackets (Fig. 5). Shelf will lock into
position. No bolting is necessary. There is a decal located on the front of the range showing the proper
installation of the shelf to the splasher. Remove this decal once assembly is complete.
