GAS RESTAURANT RANGES
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
GENERAL
Vulcan ranges and ovens are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
Vulcan-Hart suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the
instructions provided.
INSTALLATION
UNCRATING
This range 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 range is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and
contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Uncrate unit carefully and place in a work-accessible area as near to its final installed position as
possible. Remove all shipping wire and wood blocking.
Before installing, check the electrical service (convection oven series ranges only) and type of gas
supply (natural or propane) to make sure they agree with the specifications on the rating plate located
on the inside of the lower kick panel. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not
proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company immediately.
LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.
The range, when installed, must have a minimum clearance from combustible construction of 12" (304 mm)
at the sides and 10" (253 mm) at the rear. Clearance from non-combustible construction is 0" at the sides
and 6" (152 mm) at the rear.
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 40" (1016 mm) 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 to allow for combustion of the gas at the burners.
