Broiler (Accessory); Oven - Vulcan-Hart EV12 Series Installation & Operation Manual

BROILER (Accessory)

The high-shelf broiler is available on models 36" wide and larger except those models supplied with hot top
sections. The broiler is equipped with 2 tubular 3000 W. heating elements independently controlled by two
infinite heat switches. The switches are located on the switch panel at the right of the broiler. The top switch
controls the element for the left half of the broiler, and the bottom switch controls the element for the right half
of the broiler.
Each dial is marked HI, MED, LO, MED-LO, and VERY-LO. HI is used for quick searing of steaks. VERY-LO is best
suited for warming, melting cheese on pie, etc. The intermediate positions provide flexibility for a variety of
products, such as fish, liver, au gratins, etc. By setting the switch for one-half of the broiler at HI and the other
from MED to VERY-LO, a variety of broiler foods can be properly handled.
The grid and drip shield can be used in 3 different positions. Most broiling should be done with the rack in the
top or center position. The lower position may be used for browning deep casseroles.
The rack has a removable metal drip shield supported at the front of the grid. Grease drains from the drip shield
into the bottom of the broiler and is collected in the removable grease collector under the left bottom of the
broiler.

OVEN

CAUTION: Never cover the oven deck or rack with aluminum foil. The oven will not operate properly and the
range may be damaged.
Model EV24 and EV36 ranges have a single oven; Model EV60 ranges have two separate ovens. Each oven is
equipped with top and bottom heating elements. The top element has an infinite heat switch for browning. THIS
IS NOT A BROILER ELEMENT.
The oven has an input of 5000 W., 3750 W. for the bottom element and 1250 W. for the top element.
Preheating
Thoroughly preheat the oven by setting the switch and the thermostat to the desired temperature. When the
red light goes out, the oven is ready for use. For full loads and delicate baked products, it may be desirable to
allow the oven to cycle (red light on and off) a second time before loading.
Baking
Most products can be baked with the top element infinite switch set between VERY LO and LO. Hard-to-brown
products, such as corn bread or biscuits, may require a top switch setting of MED to HI. Start off by using a LO
setting on top element and then increase only as needed.
Roasting
Place meat on a rack in an open pan with sides sufficiently high to retain the drippings. Roasting may be done on
the oven rack or the deck. For best results, roast at the low temperatures of 200°F (93°C) to 325°F (163°C)
recommended by the Department of Agriculture and the American Meat Institute. Most meats may be roasted
with the infinite heat switch set at HI. If heavy browning on poultry is not desired, the switch should be set
between MED-LO and VERY-LO.
The top oven element is not suitable for broiling.
