INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF

HEAVY DUTY BROILERS

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.

Your Vulcan Broiler is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your broiler will result in many years of satisfactory performance.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING - ALL BROILER MODELS

This broiler 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 broiler is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Remove the small wood slats and wire used to hold burners and broiler grid in place. If the appliance is to be installed on equipment requiring electrical connections verify that the

electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or propane) agree with the specifications on the rating plate.

LOCATION

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

This broiler is design certified for installation with the following minimum clearances from combustible and noncombustible adjacent wall construction:

MODEL ELBITSUBMOC NON-COMBUSTIBLE

VIR1F, VIR1BF, VIR1SF, VIR1CF BACK 6 IN 6 IN

RIGHT SIDE LEFT SIDE

10 IN 0 IN

NI 6 NI 6 ROOLF

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A minimum front clearance of 35" (889 mm) is required.

Ensure the appliance area is kept free and clear from combustibles.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. 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 replace air taken by ventilating systems and allow for combustion gas at the broiler burners.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS - ALL BROILER MODELS Your broiler must be installed in accordance with:

In the United States

1. State and local codes.

2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI/Z223.1 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained by calling

In Canada

The above are available from the Canadian Standard Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.

1-800-699-9277 or on the web at www.AGA.org.

3. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

1. Local codes.

2. CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

3. CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code (latest edition).

When installed on equipment requiring an electrical connection, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code , ANSI/NFPA 70 , or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA

C22.2.

BROILERS MOUNTED ON CASTERS Broilers mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (not supplied by Vulcan) that complies

with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick -Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI -Z21.41 • CSA 6.9. In addition, adequate means must be provided to limit movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit appliance movement. Attach the restraining device at the rear of the broiler.

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 broiler to its installation position.

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

Note: If the broiler is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended that the broiler be re-leveled front to back and side to side.

LEVELING AND CONNECTING MANIFOLDS - ALL MODELS

1. Place the broiler in its exact position or battery lineup.

2. Using a carpenter level, level the broiler from front to rear and from side to side. Unless the broilers are level, they will not give proper cooking results, and equipment being batteried will not draw up tight.

If you are installing a new battery appliance to an existing field appliance, the union on the existing field appliance must be checked against the union being used on the new range. The union manufacturer’s name around the face surface of the union nut must match.

– 7 –

Fig. 15

3. Engage union nut on manifold pipe of the broiler with the male fitting on the next unit, and draw up union hand-tight. Be sure units butt both front and rear.

4. Continue to level up and connect manifold pipe until all broilers in the battery are connected, then tighten all manifold unions gas-tight.

Questions or concerns regarding the installation procedures may be addressed by calling the Vulcan-Hart Service Department 1-800-814-2028.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be

resistant to the action of propane gases.

Connect gas supply to the broiler(s). Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt and piping compound.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the broiler. Natural gas broilers and propane gas broilers are equipped with fixed orifices and no adjustment is

necessary. Pressure regulators are required on all Vulcan Broilers. Regulators must have an outlet pressure of

6" (1.49 mb) Water Column for natural gas supply and 10" (2.49 mb) Water Column for propane gas.

Unless the manifold pressure on all connected appliances is the same, a separate pressure regulator must be supplied for each appliance(s) having a different manifold pressure(s).

The regulators must have:

• C.S.A. design certification.

• Enough regulation capacity for the total connected gas load.

• Pressure adjustment range to allow adjustment for the manifold pressure marked on the rating plate.

WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR

LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.

Ensure that burner heads are connected to burner base. After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove

air. TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When test pressures exceed

/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the broiler and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are

/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the broiler must be isolated from the gas

supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve. FLUE CONNECTIONS

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the broiler. 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 broiler flue vent to the filters of the hood venting system, an 18" (457 mm) minimum clearance must be maintained.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE

APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES

WARNING: 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.

Do not connect broiler to electrical supply until after gas connections have been made.

For OVEN SECTION LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS see Operations and Maintenance Manual Lighting Instructions Section (F-37403).

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS - BROILER SECTIONS

Ensure that gas supply to appliance (lower chrome handle) and IR broiler burners (round chrome knobs) are OFF.

Turn ON gas supply to appliance.

Turn ON gas supply to broiler.

Turn ON broiler burner valves to purge air.

Turn OFF broiler burner valves and gas supply to broiler.

Wait 30 seconds, turn ON gas supply to broiler.

Using a taper or wand, light the two pilots.

If pilot fails to light, shut off all gas, wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 1-7.

Turn broiler burner valves on full to light main burner.
