GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual is for the Vulcan and Wolf Gas
Salamander Broilers. Procedures in this manual will
apply to all models unless specified. Pictures and
illustrations will be of model 36IRB unless otherwise
noted.
All of the information, illustrations and specifications
contained in this manual are based on the latest
product information available at the time of printing.
INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND
CLEANING
For detailed installation, operation and cleaning
instructions, refer to Installation & Operation Manual
sent with each unit. The manual is also available
online at www.vulcanequipment.com.
NOTE: Using accessory options, Salamander
broilers can be mounted to the wall, over a range or
placed onto an appropriate table top by using 4" legs.
RACK POSITION AND GAS
SETTING
NOTE: Infrared burner models must use the full gas
setting (knob fully counterclockwise) to achieve the
best burner performance and highest broiler
temperatures. Lower broiler temperatures can be
achieved by using a lower gas setting (knob in the
range just past off but less than fully
counterclockwise). When using a lower gas setting,
the flame should remain lit and be steady across the
entire burner surface.
For detailed information refer to RACK POSITION
AND GAS SETTING in the
Manual.
