Proper installation positions of the bricks are shown in Fig. 8. PL-40514 Fig. 8 Broiler-Griddle Section Vulcan Restaurant Range Broilers are equipped with ceramic radiants.

Connect gas supply to the range. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the range. Ranges are equipped with fixed burner orifices for proper range operation elevation. On some models, the gas pressure regulator is factory installed on the manifold pipe at the rear of the range, and on some models, the regulator is packaged separately.
PL-40519 PL-40518 Standard Oven Convection Oven Fig. 12 Fig. 13 Natural gas regulators are preset for 3.7" W.C. (Water Column); propane gas regulators are preset for 10.0" W.C. (Water Column). A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not obstruct leak limiter on gas pressure regulator as obstruction may cause regulator to malfunction.
Standard ranges, equipped with pressure regulators and fixed orifices, have been adjusted at the factory and should require no further adjustment. All adjustment procedures associated with pilot lighting must be performed by a qualified Vulcan-Hart installation or service person. (See Service Manual.) The bypass (minimum burner) flame adjustment must be made at the time of installation.
OPERATION WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE RANGE. CONTROLS Controls for the Standard Oven Restaurant Range are shown in Fig. 14; controls for the Convection Oven Restaurant Range are shown in Fig. 15.

Page 15
Oven Pilot — Convection Oven 1. Turn main gas supply ON. Turn oven valve ON. Remove lower front panel and lift lighting hole cover. 2. Depress the reset button located behind the lower front panel and light pilot with a lit taper (Fig. 17). Continue to hold reset button in for 30 seconds until pilot remains on.
Open Top Pilot 1. Remove all top section cover plates and griddles. 2. Turn main gas supply ON (all burner valves should be in OFF position). 3. Begin from the left range top side. Light each individual pilot from front to rear across the entire range top section.
To season, heat griddle or fry top section at a low burner setting (300-350 F). Pour one ounce of cooking oil per square foot of surface over the griddle or fry top section. Spread oil over entire surface with an insulated cloth, creating a thin film. After forming thin film over surface, wipe off excess oil with an insulated cloth.
Convection Ovens If you have a convection oven, reduce your normal recipe temperature by 25 F. Cooking time in a convection oven will vary slightly from your normal recipe time. Cooking starts immediately in the convection oven. Yeast breads do not usually rise as much in the convection oven.
PL-40525 Fig. 19 RACK ARRANGEMENTS — CONVECTION OVENS The convection oven has a maximum operating capacity of 3 racks (supplied) per oven cavity. The 5 position rack supports provide for maximum flexibility and proper rack spacing. The following arrangements are recommended. The position numbers are in numerical sequence starting at the bottom (Fig.
RACK ARRANGEMENTS — STANDARD OVENS The Vulcan 77 Series standard oven is equipped with one rack per oven section. Each oven section has two rack positions. Proper rack positioning is to be determined by the individual cooking needs of the operator.
