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.

Uncrate unit carefully and place in a work-accessible area as near to its nal installed position as possible. Remove all shipping wire and wood blocking.

Before installing, check the electrical service (convection oven series ranges only) and type of gas supply (natural or propane) to make suretheyagreewiththespecicationsontheratingplate located on the inside of the lower kick panel. 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.

The range,when installed,must havea minimumclearance fromcombustible construction of 12" (304 mm) atthe sides and 10" (253 mm) attherear.Clearancefromnon-combustibleconstructionis0"at the sides and 6" (152 mm) at the rear.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A minimum front clearance of 40" (1016 mm) is required.

The range must be installed so that the ow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must beprovided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for combustion of the gas at the burners.

LEVELING

Checkthe leveling of the range. Placeacarpenter’s levelinside theoven cavityacross theoven rack(s). Level front-to-back and side-to-side.

To adjust the leveling, tilt the range to one side and, using channel locks, unscrew the adjustable leg insert as required. Repeat this procedure as necessary for each leg.

Casters for thisrange are of the non-adjustabletype. Therefore, the oormust be level. Ifoor surface is not level, the range will experience cooking problems.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

Each range is factory-equipped for the type gas specied on the rating plate. The installation gas connection is a

/4" (19 mm) 14 FPT ANSI schedule #40 standard pipe.

Connect gas supply. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions.

Codes require that a gas shuto valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range.

Standard ranges are equipped with xed burner orices which coincide with installation elevation.

Install the gas pressure regulator.

Before installing, ensure that regulator supplied agrees with rating plate gas supply.

As of 7/11/90, the gas pressure regulator is NOT factory installed. The regulator for this gas type is sealed within a plasticbag attachedto theoven rack insidethe ovencavity. Thisregulator mustbe eld installed by a qualied installer.

Natural gas regulators are preset for 4" W.C. (Water Column) (.99 kPa); propane gas regulators for

10.0" W.C. (2.5 kPa)

1. Locate

/4" (19 mm) gas connection pipe extending from rear of range.

2. Cover pipe threads with leak sealant.

3. Screw regulator hand-tight onto pipe with regulator arrow pointing towards range body back (Fig. 15).

4. Using pipe wrench, tighten regulator securely in an upright position (Fig. 15).

The arrow on the regulator shows the direction of the gas ow (Fig. 15). The pressure regulator must bemounted horizontally to ensure proper preset outletpressure. If the regulator is installedin any other position, the outlet pressure must be reset for proper operation.

A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator, as obstruction may cause regulator to malfunction.

Fig. 15

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.

After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

Before operation, verify thermocouple is securely seated in the safety valve. The thermocouple should be tightened a

/4 turn past nger tight. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Overtightening may damage the

thermocouple or safety magnet.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When gas supply pressure exceeds

/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shuto valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

Whengas supply pressure is

/2 psig(3.45 kPa)orless, the range shouldbeisolated from the gassupply

system by closing its individual manual shuto valve until the range is ready for start-up.

FLUE CONNECTIONS DONOT obstructtheowof uegases from the ue locatedontherearoftherange.Itisrecommended

that theue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installedby qualied personnel.

From the termination of the ue to the lters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of 18" (457 mm) must be maintained.

Information on the constructionand installation ofventilating hoodsmay be obtainedfrom thestandard for the "Removal of Vapors from Commercial Cooking Equipment”, NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

OPERATION

WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING,

CLEANING OR SERVICING THE RANGE.

CONTROLS

THERMOSTAT DIAL - STANDARD OVEN — Allows operator to regulate oven temperature from low to

500°F (260°C).

GRIDDLE BURNER KNOB STANDARD AND CONVECTION OVENS — Regulates gas ow to the griddle or hot top burner. To

increase heat, turn knob counterclockwise; to decrease, turn knob clockwise.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Griddle Seasoning

CAUTION: This griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft and can be scored or dented by the careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner edge of the spatula on the griddle surface.

A new griddle surface must be seasoned to do a good cooking job. The metal surface of the griddle is porous. Foodtends to get trapped in these pores and stick; therefore,it is important to “season” or “ll up” these pores with cooking oil before cooking. Seasoning gives the surface a slick, hard nish from which the food will release easily.

To season, heat griddle top section at a low burner setting. Pour one ounce of cooking oil per square foot of surface overthe griddle top section. With an insulatedcloth, spread the oil over the entiregriddle surface to create a thin lm. Wipe o any excess oil with an insulated cloth.

Repeat this procedure 2 to 3 times until the griddle has a slick surface.
