INSTALLATION

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

UNPACKING

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

Do not use the door or its handle to lift or move the pasta cooker.

For pasta cookers shipped on a pallet:

  Before removing the cooker from the pallet, assemble

casters or legs (see ASSEMBLY in this manual).

The pasta cooker is shipped without the swivel head attached.  Look for the swivel head in the tank of
the cooker and screw it onto the faucet before hooking up the water.

LOCATION

Do not install pasta cooker next to a deep fat fryer because a splash-over of water into the hot oil may
cause a flash fire.

The equipment must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

The pasta cooker, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible construction of 6"
(152 mm) from the sides and 6" (152 mm) from the rear.  Clearance requirement from non-combustible
construction is 0" at the sides and rear.  The pasta cooker may be installed on combustible floors.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
A minimum front clearance of 36" (914 mm) is required.

The pasta cooker 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 pasta cooker.  Avoid open windows next to the pasta cooker.
Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.
