Installation Codes And Standards - Vulcan-Hart VC44GC Installation & Operation Manual

Before installing, verify that the electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or L.P.) agree with
the specifications on the rating plate, located behind the top trim panel on the front of the oven. If the
supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your
dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company 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.
Carefully unpack the oven and place it in a work-accessible area near to its final installed position.
Do not use the doors or their handles to lift the oven.
LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.
When installed, minimum clearance from combustible construction must be 1 inch (25 mm) at the left
side, 4 inches (102 mm) at the right side and 2 inches (51 mm) at the rear. Minimum clearance from
noncombustible construction must be 0 inch (0 mm) at the left side, 4 inches (102 mm) at the right side
and 2 inches (51 mm) at the rear. The oven may be installed on combustible floors.
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. For solid
state and digital control models, there must be 18 inches (457 mm) of clearance on the right side of
the oven from any open flame.
The oven 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 gas at the oven burners.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the oven. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the oven.
Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.
