Installation, Operation and Care of

77 SERIES & SG77 SERIES GAS RESTAURANT RANGES

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided. Your 77 Series Gas Restaurant Range is produced with quality workmanship
and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of
satisfactory performance.

The 77 Series Range has one or two standard ovens; the SG77 Series Range has one or two forced
air convection ovens.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Remove all shipping wire and wood blocking. Remove accessories (Fig. 1).

Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) and electrical service agree with
the specifications on the rating plate located on the inside lower front control cover. If the supply and
equipment requirements do not agree, contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart immediately.

LOCATION

The range must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The range, when installed, must
have minimum clearance of 6" at the sides and 6" at the back from combustible construction, and 0"
at the sides and 0" at the back from non-combustible construction.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 40" is required.

The range 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 suitable for the amount of combustion gas feeding the burners.

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

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

Your Vulcan range must be installed in accordance with:

1. State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with:

2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from the American Gas Association,
Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.

3. National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition).

RANGES INSTALLED WITH CASTERS

For ranges equipped with casters, 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). Provide a gas
line strain relief to limit movement of the range without
depending on the connector and any quick-disconnect
device or its associated piping to limit the range movement.
Attach the strain relief to the rear of the range (Fig. 2).

Should it be necessary to disconnect the gas line strain
relief, turn off the gas supply before disconnection.
Reconnect this restraint before turning the gas supply on

Fig. 5

With top cooking plates in their normal position, assemble splasher back to range (Fig. 6). Fasten in
place with #10 sheet metal screws. Use the center bracing angle on 60, 160 and 260 Ranges.

Once splasher back is secured in position, slide shelf into mounting brackets (Fig. 7). Shelf will lock
into position. On 36" ranges, fasten shelf with (4) self-tapping 10-24 screws. Ranges wider than 36"
will require (2) additional bolts. There is a decal located on the front of the range showing the proper
installation of the shelf to the backsplash. Remove this decal once assembly is complete.
