MODULAR RANGE

KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Vulcan ranges are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of satisfactory performance.

The manufacturer 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 carrier assumes full responsibility for the safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Check for possible shipping damage immediately after receipt.

If the range is found to be damaged, complete the following steps:

1. Carrier must be notified within 5 business days of receipt.

2. Carrier’s local terminal must be notified immediately upon discovery (note time, date, and who was spoken to), and follow up and confirm with written or electronic communication.

3. All original packing materials must be kept for inspection purposes.

4. The range cannot have been moved, installed, or modified.

5. Notify Vulcan Customer Service immediately at 800-814-2028. Carefully uncrate range 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, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on

the rating plate located under the left-hand cooking top, mounted to the side wall of the range.

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.

A standard 20,000 BTU burner input range must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 6" (15 cm) at the sides and 6" (15 cm) at the rear.

A standard 26,000 BTU burner input range must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 10" (25 cm) at the sides and 6" (15 cm) at the rear.

Step-up ranges using 20,000 or 26,000 BTU input burners must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 10" (25 cm) at the sides and 6" (15 cm) at the rear.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.

__________________________________________________________________________________

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

Installation of Standard Griddle Top Bricks

The griddle top section is extremely heavy. It will require three people to install the griddle and griddle brick — two people to lift the griddle plate and one person to set the bricks and griddle thermostat capillary bulb(s) in place.

The range griddle top section utilizes a two-fold baffle assembly to support the composite/mortar fire bricks. There will always be only one small 61⁄2" (16 cm) wide baffle assembly with every griddle top order. There will be at least one 97⁄8" (24 cm) wide baffle assembly per griddle,

possibly more, depending on the griddle width.

The 61⁄2" (16 cm) wide baffle will utilize two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm), and two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) brick sets.

The 97⁄8" (25 cm) wide baffle assembly will utilize two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm), and two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) brick sets.

1. The griddle bricks are shipped in a rectangular cardboard box. Locate the box and carefully inspect quantities as explained above.

If a brick has been broken into two pieces, it can still be used. Just place the pieces into position as shown in Fig. 1. However, if a brick is broken into more than two pieces, it will need to be replaced. Contact your local Vulcan servicer.

2. Clean anti-rust coating from top of griddle, following the procedures described in the

__________________________________________________________________________________

CLEANING – GRIDDLE PLATE section of this manual.

3. Remove griddle plate. With one person at either side of the griddle, gently lift griddle straight up. DO NOT pull griddle forward until the third person has checked to ensure that the capillary bulb(s) (thermostatically controlled models only) are freed from the underside of the of the griddle plate. If bulb(s) are still attached to the griddle, pull capillary bulb(s) wire gently through the “V” shield(s) until the bulbs are free.

4. Rest the griddle plate in a secure place.

5. Thermostatically controlled griddles are shipped without the thermostat bulb in the “V” shield. The bulb must be installed by the installer to prevent damage to the griddle and the thermostat (not covered by the warranty). Exercise caution when placing brick in a thermostatically controlled griddle section. DO NOT hit thermostat bulb while installing bricks. The thermostat bulb is a sensitive device and may be easily knocked out of adjustment.

Into the 6-½" (16 cm) wide baffle, install: a. Two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm) bricks, placing the miter edge, one to each side of the front

burner baffle area (Fig. 1). b. Two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) bricks, one to each side of the rear burner baffle area (Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

6. Into the 9-⅞" (24 cm) wide baffle, install: a. Two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm) bricks, placing the miter edge, one to each side of the front

burner baffle area (see Fig. 1).

__________________________________________________________________________________

b. Two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) bricks, one to each side of the rear burner baffle area (see Fig. 1).

7. If the burner has been strapped down, use wire cutters to remove the wire strapping device.

8. Check to ensure that all bricks and burners are secure.

9. Carefully replace the griddle top section. Be sure that the griddle capillary and bulb(s) are not in a position to be damaged.

a. Gently pull the griddle capillary toward the front of the range and out from under the griddle area.

b. While two people (one to each side of the griddle) are lowering the griddle into place, the third person must gently feed the griddle thermostat bulb(s) through the “V” shield(s) until completely covered. Ensure that the capillary is not positioned over the burner flame pattern.

c. Continue to lower the plate into place until it is resting evenly on top of the range.

Installation of Hot Top Bricks

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

There should be one box of bricks per hot top section.

1. The composite/mortar bricks are shipped in a rectangular cardboard box. Locate the box and carefully remove two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm), and two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) bricks.

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

3. Install two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm) composite/mortar bricks, placing the miter edge, one to each side of the front burner baffle area (see Fig.1).

4. Install two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm) bricks, one to each side of the rear burner baffle area (see Fig. 1).

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

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

section on top of the range.
