IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL VULCAN APPLIANCES

1. These units are produced with the best possible workmanship and material. Proper installation is vital if best performance and
appearance are to be achieved. Installer must follow the installation instructions carefully.

2. Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the "Standard for the installation of
equipment for the removal of smoke and grease laden vapors from commercial cooking equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest
edition) available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy MA 02269.

3. For an appliance equipped with a flexible electric supply cord, the cord is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug. This
grounding plug is for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. If the appliance is not equipped with a grounding plug, and
electric supply is needed, ground the appliance by using the ground lug provided (refer to the wiring diagram).

(FOR GAS APPLIANCES ONLY)

4. Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. This air flow is necessary for proper combustion of gases and for
ventilation of the appliance. Provisions for ventilation of incoming air supply for the equipment in the room must be in accordance
with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).

5. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct (when so equipped) located on the rear (or sides) of the appliance. It is
recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified
personnel.

6. For an appliance equipped with casters, (1) the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 (latest edition), and Addenda, Z21.69a (latest edition), and a quick­disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 (latest
edition), and Addenda, Z21.41a (latest edition) and Z21.41b (latest edition), and (2) adequate means must be provided to limit
the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to
limit the appliance movement. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, reconnect this restraint after the appliance has been
returned to its originally installed position.

7. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 k Pa).

8. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 k Pa).

CAUTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS EQUIPMENT OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

1. KEEP THE APPLIANCE FREE AND CLEAR FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCES.

2. IN THE EVENT A GAS ODOR IS DETECTED, SHUT UNIT (S) DOWN AT THE MAIN
SHUTOFF VALVE AND CONTACT THE LOCAL GAS COMPANY OR GAS SUPPLIER
FOR SERVICE.

3. POST IN A PROMINENT LOCATION, INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE EVENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Conveyor Baker is designed for table or counter top
operation. It uses infra-red, quartz sheathed heaters in
independently controlled groups to meet a wide range

of baking requirements. By adjustment of the heater voltage
regulators and the belt speed controls, an almost infinite range
of baking conditions can be obtained.

INSTALLATION

The Conveyor Baker has been inspected and tested at the
factory prior to shipment.

CAUTION: Upon receipt, check for visible damage. If
damaged in shipment, check with the carrier for claim
adjustment.

Unpack the Conveyor Baker and remove all packing materials.
Heaters are packed in the long boxes - do not throw them
away. When finished, you should have the following parts:

Conveyor Baker
Hood
Top Reflector
Slide
Ramp
14 Heaters

(See assembly drawing on page 6.)

Place the baker on a flat horizontal surface at the desired
location.

CAUTION: Keep the baker at least 6 inches from any
vertical wall.

The baker may be leveled by screwing the tips of the legs in or
out.

Slide the crumb tray into the channels under the body.

Unhook the belt at the link with the hooks left partly open. Allow
the belt to run out the rear end of the machine. Remove the
idler assembly.

Install the 8 bottom heaters by placing one end in a socket on
one side and pushing in until the tip of the heater on the
opposite end clears the top of the socket

as you guide it into place. Rotate each heater after insertion to
insure that it is correctly seated. It should rotate smoothly.

Place the bottom reflector in the troughs provided for it. The
bottom reflector is not a crumb catcher and the angles should
face down.

Replace the idler assembly and reinstall the belt by pulling it
forward over the idler assembly and along the belt supports
until you can hook the free ends together.

NOTE: For best operation the conveyor belt should be always
installed with the hooks trailing away from the direction of
travel. See the inset on page 6.

Install the 6 top heaters.
Place the top reflector on its support rods. Both angles go

inside the support rods.

Place the hood on top of the body and press down firmly.
Install the slide on the two support rods at the rear of the body.

Install the ramp by dropping the tongues into grooves over the
idler assembly brackets. The ramp supports fit onto the
projecting pegs at the bottom corners of the baker.

The assembly is now complete.

CAUTION: Have the wiring to the wiring box on the unit
installed by a qualified electrician. The 1224 will require a
30 amp service. The 1824 will require a 50 amp service.
(Single phase.).

OPERATING

CAUTION: Do not operate the oven unless the crumb tray
(item #45) is in place.

Turn on the power at the main switch. Turn on the speed
control. Turn all heater controls to maximum and run the baker
for 1/2 hour before its first use.

Exact adjustment of the heat controls and the belt speed will be
determined by your particular requirements and location. The
bottom heaters are in two groups of 4. The top heaters are in
one group of 6. The output wattage of each individual group
may be varied with the appropriate controls.

NOTE: Numbers on the dials are for reference and do not refer
to any specific temperature.
