All VR and VRC ranges with oven sections are mounted on 6" (152) adjustable legs. Optionally, they may be
equipped with no legs (for masonry base mounting) or a 4" (102) toe base in place of legs.
All VR ranges with ovens are equipped with one oven rack. All VRC ranges with ovens are equipped with 3 oven
racks. Additional racks may be purchased as an option.
All VR and VRC ranges with full size ovens, VS cabinet base or VM modular ranges will have two drawers in the
front of the range under the cooking top area. The left-hand drawer is a baffled grease drawer, the right-hand
drawer is a warming drawer.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the range, check it for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be
damaged after unpacking, save the packing material and contact the carrier within 7 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the data plate which is
located on the breaker cover door to the right of the oven cavity.
LOCATION
Position the range in its final installation position. Refer to the data plate for required clearances adjacent to
combustible and non-combustible construction. When a broiler is installed over the range, refer to the broiler
and range data plates for clearance requirements. Install the range so that the conduit can be placed into the
bottom entrance.
The VRC Convection Range will require a minimum 4" (102) clearance between a rear wall and motor cover. The
convection oven also comes equipped with 9" (229) wide, side bumper bars that must be attached to the range
if it is installed next to a combustible wall. Refer to BUMPER BAR INSTALLATION in this manual.
7
BUMPER BAR INSTALLATION (RANGES ON CASTERS ONLY)
There are 2 sets of bumper bars packaged separately and placed inside the oven compartment for shipping.
Bumper bars must be installed on the side(s) of the convection oven that is placed near a combustible wall during
operation.
1. Remove bumper bars from the oven cavity and unwrap.
2. Using a
wall.
5
¦16" (8) socket and socket driver, attach bumper bar to the side(s) of the oven nearest the combustible
Note that there are predrilled bumper bar mounting holes supplied on the sides and back of the oven
(Fig. 1).

Using a carpenter's level placed on top of the range, adjust the feet so the range is level from front to back and
from side to side.
Masonry Base/Toe Base
Using a carpenter's level, ensure that the base where the range will be installed is level. If the base is not level,
it must be levelled before installing the range.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE
PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT
SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.
Bring conduit containing the proper supply wire (size and type in accordance with latest edition of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70) to the range through the 2" (51) hole located in the bottom of the range. On
modular ranges and expando units, the conduit enters the range through the clearance hole located in the back
of the range. Use wire suitable for 75°C on ranges carrying more than 80 amps.
Connect the supply leads to the terminal block and the green grounding lead to the labeled ground lug.
