INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or L.P.) agree with the specifications on the rating plate, located behind the top trim panel on the front of the oven. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company immediately.

UNPACKING

This oven 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 oven is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Carefully unpack the oven and place it in a work-accessible area near to its final installed position.

Do not use the doors or their handles to lift the oven.

LOCATION

The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

When installed, minimum clearance from combustible construction must be 1 inch (25 mm) at the left side, 4 inches (102 mm) at the right side and 6 inches (152 mm) at the rear. Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction must be 0 inch (0 mm) at the left side, 4 inches (102 mm) at the right side and 6 inches (152 mm) at the rear. The oven may be installed on combustible floors.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. For solid state and digital control models, there must be 18 inches (457 mm) of clearance on the right side of the oven from any open flame.

The oven 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 gas at the oven burners.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the oven. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the oven. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

Location of the gas inlet is at the rear of the oven. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas line ahead of the oven.

Connect gas supply after leveling the oven. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of

/4 inch (19 mm) iron pipe. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt or pipe joint

compound.

The ovens are equipped with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation.

The oven is provided with a regulator integral to the gas solenoid valve and requires no external regulator.

CAUTION: The gas pressure regulator provided with this appliance must be used. This regulator is set for an outlet pressure of 3.5” W.C. (0.9 kPa) natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.5 kPa) propane gas.

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.

A. CHECK ALL JOINTS PRIOR TO THE GAS VALVE (SOLENOID) BEFORE LIGHTING UNIT. B. CHECK ALL JOINTS BEYOND GAS VALVE (SOLENOID) AFTER UNIT IS LIT.

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

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When gas supply pressure exceeds

/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the oven and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When gas supply pressure is

/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the oven should be isolated from the gas supply

system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

– 7 –

BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT

Although main burner air is adjusted before shipment, it should be checked at the time of installation. Excessive air will cause flames to lift off a burner when cold or may cause flash-back during normal cycling of oven, particularly when propane gas is used.

Insufficient air will cause flames to burn with a yellow tip and result in carbon accumulation in the flame chamber and heat exchanger tubes.

Contact your local Vulcan-Hart servicer if required.

VENT SYSTEM

DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the oven. It is recommended

that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel.

Ovens may use an optional down-draft diverter flue method. This optional down-draft diverter must be purchased from the oven manufacturer and vented to the outside; otherwise, the installation of any such device will void all oven certifications and warranties. This oven is suitable for connection to Type B Gas Vent when used with the draft hood provided.

From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of 18 inches (457 mm) must be maintained.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from

Removal from Cooking Equipment

, NFPA Standard No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National

Vapor

Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

CONSERVING ENERGY— ALL MODELS

• Turn off unused equipment.

• Adjust menu patterns and cooking/baking schedules for optimum equipment use.

• Reduce thermostat settings in slack periods since gas equipment heats up and recovers quickly.

• Preheat only to required cooking temperature for specific food — not higher.

• Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary.

• Keep area around the oven door clean and free of food particles.

• Any obstruction that prevents the door from closing completely will adversely affect oven efficiency.

– 13 –

ROAST & HOLD OPERATION — (When Equipped)

Roast & Hold cooks the product in two stages. During first-stage cooking, the oven temperature is regulated by the temperature setpoint and the R & H Timer setting. After the time counts down to 00:00, second-stage cooking begins. During second-stage cooking, the heat is off as the temperature in the oven declines to the hold temperature. The doors should remain closed during second-stage cooking.

When the hold temperature is reached, the oven temperature will be maintained at the hold temperature until the oven is turned off.

(DO NOT OPEN DOORS)

The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and light weight pans allow the product to warm faster. Roast meats in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices yet allow free air circulation.

OPERATING HINTS

When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness periodically before the suggested time has elapsed. This will ensure the desired doneness is achieved.

Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide consistent and repeatable results.

The convection oven is faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower and cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the guidelines regarding times and temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.
