Installation, Operation and Care of

MODEL IR34 GAS INFRARED BROILER

KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GENERAL

Your Vulcan-Hart Gas Broiler is suitable for use in restaurant, commercial or institutional kitchens. The
broiler is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance
of your broiler will result in many years of satisfactory performance.

Vulcan-Hart Company suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of
the instructions provided.

IR34 Broilers are available in two styles:

1. Elevated Model — mounts over Heavy Duty Gas Range or Gas Restaurant Range (34" width
minimum).

2. Free Standing Model — mounts on a non-combustible countertop with a 4" base stand.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the data plate on the body
top of the broiler.

UNPACKING

Your broiler was carefully 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 broiler is found to be damaged, save the packaging material
and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

LOCATION

Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the broiler. This air flow is necessary for proper combustion
of gases and for ventilation of the broiler.

Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct of the broiler. It is recommended that the flue
gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified
personnel.

If mounted over a range equipped with casters, the minimum width of the range is 60 inches and the
following restrictions apply:

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 a quick-disconnect device that
complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41
(latest edition).

2. Provide a restraining device for the gas line to limit the movement of the range without depending
on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the range
movement. Attach the strain relief to the rear of the range (Fig. 1).

If disconnection of the strain relief is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection.
Reconnect this restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the range to its installation
position.

Maintain a minimum 6" clearance at the sides and rear next to combustible and non-combustible
construction. Maintain an 18" clearance from the end of the broiler flue vent to the filters of the hood
venting system.

Keep the area free and clear of all combustible substances.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 18" is required.

Make sure there are no cross currents within the kitchen (such as wall-type fans, open windows next
to the broiler, or fans blowing directly on the broiler).
