MODEL VEC SERIES ELECTRIC

CONVEYOR OVENS

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

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.

It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions
provided.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate
located on the right front side panel. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not
proceed with the installation. Contact your Vulcan-Hart service representative 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.

1. Tilt the oven on its back side.

2. Place the oven on a four-wheel dolly.

3. Move oven to its installation position.

4. Remove oven from the dolly and place on two pieces of 2 x 4 wood.

5. Carefully unpack oven.

Do not use the door or handle to lift oven.

LOCATION

When the crate is turned on its side, the oven will pass through a 34" (86 cm) door opening (or 30"
[76 cm] opening without the crate). Verify that the doors and access routes into the kitchen area will
permit clearance.

When installed, minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction must be

2.5" (63.5 mm) at the sides and 2.5" (63.5 mm) at the rear.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
A minimum front clearance of 36" (914.4 mm) is required.

Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the
standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from
the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Exhaust: Approximately 2000 CFM required for double stacked ovens.

Approximately 1500 CFM required for single oven.
