Installation, Operation and Care of

MG SERIES GAS RESTAURANT 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 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.

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

CAUTION: 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.
