GAS CONNECTION
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane
gases. The machine connection is
3
/4" external thread. A manual valve (supplied) must be installed
in the gas supply line ahead of the appliance. Make sure piping is clean and free of obstructions, dirt,
or pipe joint compound. Recommended gas supply pressures are 7" W.C. (Water Column) for natural
gas and 11" W.C. for propane. The gas line must be capable of delivering gas to the oven without
excessive pressure drop at the rate specified on the rating plate.
The oven is equipped with a factory preset pressure regulator. Natural gas pressure regulators are
preset for 3.5" W.C. for both ovens and steam generators. Propane gas pressure regulators for 10 level
half and full and 20 level full ovens are preset for 10" W.C. for both ovens and steam generators.
Propane gas pressure regulators for 20 level half depth ovens are preset for 8" W.C. for oven burners
and 10" W.C. for steam generators.
Caster equipped ovens must be installed with a connector that complies with the
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances
latest edition], and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel
, ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition) [in Canada, CAN 1-6.9, latest edition]. A
gas line strain relief must be provided to limit the movement of the oven without depending on the
connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit oven movement. Attach the
strain relief to the rear of the oven at the location provided. If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint
during service or maintenance, first turn off the gas supply. Reconnect the restraint before returning
the oven to its original installed location and turning the gas supply on.
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.
The convection burner and the steam generator burner are ignited automatically by electric igniters;
there are no pilot lights. See Start Up Procedure, page 7.
Keep the appliance area free and clear from all combustible substances. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for
combustion at the burners and exhaust by the vent hood system.

Page 6
Testing the Gas Supply Piping System
When test pressures exceed
1
/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the oven and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the oven must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
VENT HOOD
The Combi oven should be located under a suitable exhaust hood to vent steam, smoke, grease laden
vapors, etc. Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from
Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment
, NFPA standard No. 96 (latest edition).
WATER REQUIREMENTS
Proper water quality can improve the taste of the food prepared in the oven, reduce liming in the steam
generator, and extend equipment life. Local water conditions vary from one location to another. The
recommended proper water treatment for effective and efficient use of this equipment will also vary
depending on the local water conditions. Ask your municipal water supplier for details about your local
water supply prior to installation.
Recommended water hardness is 2.0 to 4.0 grains of hardness per gallon with pH from 7.0 to 8.0.
Chlorides must not exceed 30 parts per million. Water hardness above 4.0 grains per gallon should
be treated by a water conditioner (water softener or in-line water treatment). Water hardness below
2.0 grains per gallon may also require a water treatment system to reduce potential corrosion. With
respect to water hardness, 17.1 parts per million is equal to 1 grain of hardness per gallon. Water
treatment has been shown to reduce costs associated with machine cleaning, reduce deliming of the
steam generator, and reduce corrosion of metallic surfaces in the steam generator.
Water supplies vary from one location to another. A local water treatment specialist should be
consulted before installing any steam generating equipment.
The Kleensteam® system by Everpure is an available Vulcan accessory. The Kleensteam system is
a passive chemical feeder that modifies the water supply by addition of a non-toxic chemical which
increases the acidity of water, reducing the alkalinity. This generally allows the steam generator to run
cleaner and require less frequent deliming. Kleensteam reduces the chemical taste and odor of
chlorine and filters out small particulates. The cartridge needs to be replaced every six months.
Sediment, silica, excess chlorides, or other dissolved solids may lead to a recommendation for
alternate form(s) of water treatment. Consult with a water treatment specialist and your Vulcan Sales
office for specific recommendations.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY
AND PLUMBING CODES.
WATER CONNECTION
Connect the potable water supply to the external-threaded nylon inlet (
3
/4" NSHT - National Straight
Hose Thread) located underneath the oven at the rear. Treat the nylon threads carefully so the
connection does not leak. A manual shutoff valve must be provided convenient to the oven; this valve
should be open when the oven is in operation. Water pressure should be between 20 and 80 psig.
Untreated water contains scale producing minerals which can precipitate onto the surfaces in the
steam generator tank. Due to the temperatures in the tank, the minerals can bake onto the surfaces
and components. This can result in early component failure and reduced product life.
Sensors in the steam generator tank use ions in the water to detect the water level. Do not use distilled
(fully demineralized or de-ionized) water as this could provide a false reading to the sensors.
6
Page 7
Strainers and filters will NOT remove minerals from the water.
Refer to REMOVAL OF LIME SCALE DEPOSITS, page 28.
DRAIN CONNECTION
CAUTION: In order to avoid any back pressure in the oven, do not connect solidly to any drain
connection.
An adaptor collar is recommended for the machine drain connection, located underneath the oven at
the rear. The drain line should be plumbed to an open gap-type drain and include a trap. Drain piping
must have suitable pitch, have appropriate support along its length, and have no connection to other
piping. The material used in the drain line should be heat resistant to at least 212°F. The open drain
should be located between 3 and 5 feet away from the perimeter of the oven to reduce potential damage
from moisture-corrosion.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Cord Connected Ovens
WARNING: THE SUPPLY CORD ON THIS OVEN IS PROVIDED WITH A GROUNDING PLUG. THE
OUTLET TO WHICH THIS PLUG IS CONNECTED MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF THE
RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.
The wiring diagram is located on the inside surface of the right side panel as you face the oven.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the oven for the first time, it must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result from
heating the new surfaces in the oven. Operate the oven at 480°F for 45 minutes in Convection Mode.
OPERATION
WARNING: THE OVEN AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING
OR SERVICING THE OVEN. THE COOKING COMPARTMENT CONTAINS LIVE STEAM. STAY
CLEAR WHEN OPENING DOOR.
DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING
The oven door is equipped with an electrically powered lock. The oven is delivered with the door
latched and slightly open (Fig. 1) and can be opened by firmly pulling the door handle (Fig. 3). Push
the door until it connects with the latch but remains slightly open (Fig. 1). This is the position the door
should be in when the oven is not in use. The door should also be in this position after cooking to allow
steam to escape before fully opening the door. Push the handle until it is in line with the oven door.
If power has been connected, the door will now lock automatically, sealing the oven chamber (Fig. 2).
To release the door, rotate (pull) the handle 90 degrees. The door automatically releases to the
'latched and slightly opened' position. Allow a few seconds for steam to escape before pulling the door
open (Fig. 3).

LOADING THE OVEN
Open the door. Place the product to be cooked in suitable containers and slide into the racks or place
the containers securely on shelves in the oven.
When loading a 10 level oven with landing table (Fig. 4), the bottom frame of the rack should be secured
by the rotary lock. Move the loaded landing table to the front of the open oven; secure the landing table
to the oven by actuating the locking-clamp (or use your body to hold the landing table against the oven).
Rotate the lock-knob to release the rack and carefully roll the loaded rack into the oven, making sure
that the landing table does not separate from the oven during the transfer.
NOTE: When the landing table is not in use in the 10 level oven, make sure the insert retainer (delivered
with the oven) is fitted under the fan baffle to prevent the rack from tilting when pans are being removed.
When loading a 20 level oven with the trolley (Fig. 5), make sure the handle is locked in the down
position so the rack is held securely to the trolley with its lifting hooks. Carefully move the loaded trolley
completely into the open oven. When the rear frame of the rack is positioned behind the edge of the
retainer, raise the handle to lower the rack-frame to the oven floor.
Fig. 4Fig. 5
UNLOADING THE OVEN
Allow the door to be 'slightly-opened' for a few seconds to allow hot air and steam to escape. Stand
behind the door while opening.
When unloading a 10 level oven, move the landing table (Fig. 4) so the clamp locks the landing table
to the front of the oven (or use your body to hold the landing table against the oven). Remove the
landing table handles and clamp them to the bottom of the hot oven rack. Carefully roll the hot rack
onto the landing table platform, making sure that the landing table does not separate from the oven
during the transfer. Rotate the knob to allow the rack to move completely to the front of the landing
table; and rotate the knob back to lock the rack in place.
When unloading a 20 level oven, move the trolley (Fig. 5) into the oven until the "lift-hooks" are inserted
into both sides of the front frame of the rack in the correct "lift" position. Lower the trolley handle until

USING THE TEMPERATURE PROBE
The Temperature Probe is kept in a metal bracket (holder) at the top of the oven when not in use.
Remove the probe from its holder; the cable remains permanently connected to the top of the oven.
The probe cable is long enough to allow the product to be placed on one of the upper racks in the oven.
Turn the oven ON.
Select one of the cooking modes:
Convection, Steam, or Combi.
Combi
In
Mode, set the % Steam Time (refer to page 16).
Select and set the Probe Temperature. The oven will automatically shut
itself off when the Probe Temperature is reached.
Set either the Oven Temperature or the Temperature Differential.
NOTE: Setting the Oven Temperature will maintain a constant temperature in the oven. Setting the Temperature
Differential will gradually increase the temperature in the oven as the internal temperature of the product increases.
The control maintains the differential or difference between the Oven Temperature and the Probe Temperature.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM
This example shows how to program a three-phase process for cooking Roast Beef, 18 pounds per
roast, and store it as program number 20.
The second item in the table on page 17 provides most of the information: For Combi time, Phase 2,
15 minutes-per-pound times 18 pounds-per-roast yields 270 minutes. We assumed that 20% Steam
Time would be OK. We chose the average temperature when a temperature range was given. In this
example, we will not use the temperature probe.

COOK AND HOLD APPLICATIONS
All Applications are suggested only — prove your own recipes and temperature / time settings.
This two-stage process cooks roast beef or other products slowly and efficiently. During the first phase,
the oven cooks at the Oven Temperature for a set amount of time or until a Probe Temperature is
reached. When the first phase is complete, the roast continues to cook as the temperature declines
to the Hold Temperature, (140°F for beef). The temperature is maintained at the "ready-to-serve" or
Hold Temperature indefinitely. After unloading, the oven can be used for its next cooking task or shut
off manually.

Complete Cleaning (continued)
The interior glass door (Fig. 8) can be opened to allow cleaning of both sides of the glass doors. With
the oven door open, unscrew the left upper- and lower-thumbscrews on the inner glass door. When
the screws are sufficiently loose, the inner glass door will swing open on the right side hinges. All four
surfaces of the glass doors can be cleaned using a cloth and glass cleaner or warm soapy water and
a clear water rinse. The area between, behind, and around the surfaces of the upper and lower hinges
can be cleaned by holding both ends of a moist soapy cleaning cloth folded in a three inch wide strip
and swabbing up and down; rinse and dry with clean wet or dry cloth in the same manner. When glass
is clean, rotate the interior glass door against the door and re-tighten the left upper- and lowerthumbscrews by turning clockwise.
Wipe surfaces which touch the door gasket with a cloth or sponge and warm soapy water, rinse with
warm clear water, and wipe with a dry cloth. CAUTION: Do not allow the door gasket to come in
contact with food oils, petroleum solvents, lubricants, or caustic cleaners.
Remove the drip tray (Fig. 8) by removing the two screws that attach it to the bottom of the inside of
the door frame. Save the screws. Use a downward rotating movement to remove the drip tray; make
sure the drain tube on the right clears the door. Wash and rinse the drip tray in a sink with warm soapy
water and a clear water rinse, and dry with a clean dry cloth. To reinstall drip tray: Insert drain tube
into opening on right side; align screw holes using an upward rotating motion; and re-install and tighten
screws.
Keep the cooking compartment drain (Fig. 8) working freely. After cooking grease producing foods,
operate the oven with the compartment empty for 30 minutes in Steam mode at the end of the day, or
1
pour
/2 gallon of warm soapy water down the drain, followed by 1/2 gallon of warm clear water. The
drain grating may be removed for cleaning on most models; replace it in its original position when done.
Leave the door latched and slightly open when the oven is not in use to allow the inside to dry out.

required for the 10 level oven; 2.6 U.S. gallons for the 20 level half-depth oven; and 5.3 U.S. gallons
for the 20 level full depth oven. Allow the vinegar to set overnite. In the morning, press ON so that
the steam generator can be flushed. Then press OFF and allow the drain pump to empty the tank.
Carefully flush the steam generator tank and the inside of the oven with fresh water — twice.
Press ON. Operate the oven in Steaming mode for approximately 10 minutes.
Drain the steam generator: Press OFF and allow the steam generator drain pump to operate for
about one minute.
The oven is again ready for use.
