GENERAL

INTRODUCTION

Vulcan-Hart Ovens are produced with
quality workmanship and material.
Proper installation, usage, and
maintenance of your oven will result in
many years of satisfactory performance.

This manual is provided to assist
persons responsible for the operation
and maintenance of the oven with a
simple, but comprehensive under­standing of its proper use. We
recommend that you thoroughly read
this entire manual and carefully follow all
of the instructions provided prior to
placing the oven into operation.

As with any piece of food service
equipment, this oven system requires a
minimum of care and maintenance.
Recommended procedures are
contained in this manual and should
become a regular part of the operation
of the unit.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical
service agrees with the specifications on
the rating plate located on the lower
back corner of the oven. If the supply
and equipment requirements do not
agree, do not proceed with unpacking
and installation. Contact your Vulcan­Hart Customer Service Department
immediately.

UNPACKING:
The 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 to
the oven.

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

Carefully unpack and place in a work
accessible area as near the installation
position as possible.

1. Open the door and carefully
remove any packaging materials
and the retaining straps that hold
the wire plate racks or tray slides
and tray slide upright side
supports.

2. Peel off vinyl protection film from
oven.

CLEANING:
The oven should be thoroughly cleaned
prior to putting into service.

Use a mild soap and water solution to
clean the interior of the oven. Never
use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads to
clean the oven.

LOCATION:
For efficient oven operation, choose a
location that will provide easy loading
and unloading without interfering with
the final assembly of food orders. The
installation location must allow adequate
clearances for servicing and proper
operation.

VRT Models: If floor mounting, the
unit must be Sealed to the floor w ith
NSF Listed Sealant.
