Installation, Operation and Care Of MODEL GH SERIES HEAVY DUTY GAS 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. The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.
GH30 GH45 GH60 GH60T GH72 GH72/45 GH45/72 GH60/72 GH60T45 GH60/72 GH60T72 GH3/72 GHM30S GHM60S GHM60TS GHM72S GHM72/45S GHM45/72S GHM60/45S GHM60T45S GHM60/72S GHM60T72S GH6 GHX60 GHX60T GHXM60S GHXM60TS GHX72 GHXM72S GHX45 Snorkel® Ranges must not be included in back-to-back setups.
ASSEMBLY Ranges Mounted on Casters When ranges are mounted on casters, you must use a connector (available from Vulcan-Hart) that complies with the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition), and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices Complying With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition) or CAN 1-6.9 (latest edition).
Battery Installation If you are installing a new battery range to an existing field appliance manufactured before January, 1998, the union on the existing field appliance must be checked against the union being used on the new range. The union manufacturer's name around the face surface of the union nut must match. If the new range has been shipped using a Ward union and the old appliance has something different, i.e., Stockham, it must be replaced with a Ward union (Fig. 3).
5. Replace back tops and backsplashes. 6. If front plates do not line up perfectly, adjust by means of bolts under front plate. Similar front adjustment is provided for the one-piece cast iron griddle (Model GH60) (Fig. 4). PL-40047-1 Fig. 4 Riser, Backguard and High Shelf Remove the shipping brackets on the corner of the range where a high shelf support casting is to be bolted.
Fig. 5 3. Carefully lift riser, backguard or high shelf over range (Fig. 6). 4. Carefully guide support channels into the two openings provided at the rear of the range (Fig. 7). Fig. 7 Fig.
While lowering support channels into openings, be sure that the lower angle flange of the riser, backguard or high shelf is positioned outside the flue back (Fig. 8). Fig. 8 Once the backguard is setting in place on the range, install the left and right end caps. End caps simply slide on, in between the splasher and the backguard. There is a tab on the cap that can be pulled out or pushed in (with a screwdriver) to adjust cap for tightness.
PL-41472 Fig. 11 Fig. 12 5. Replace back tops and top castings onto range (see Fig. 12). Shipping brackets removed in Step 2 are no longer required and may be discarded. 6. Replace riser, backguard or high shelf backsplash panel. Mounting is now complete. Thermostatically Controlled Griddle Installation Set metal brick supports and bricks in place. 1. Center Support (1) — Place in center with smooth surface down (Fig. 13). PL-40048 Fig.
2. Narrow Supports (2) — Place one on each side with smooth surface down and oval holes to outside (Fig. 14). PL-40049 Fig. 14 3. Triangle-shaped Bricks (4) — Place two each side (Fig. 15). PL-40050 Fig. 15 4. Large Bricks (2) — Set in center support as shown in Fig’s. 14 and 15.
5. The griddle plate is packaged separately from the range. Inspect bottom of griddle plate and ensure that the thermostat sensor holding bracket and hardware are attached. Loosen hardware so that plate is easily moved and tilts downward. On the top burner box front area of the range, find the coiled thermostat capillary and bulb assembly (Fig. 16). Gently uncoil the capillary. Lift (two people required) the griddle plate onto the range top, being careful not to crush the thermo bulb.
LEVELING Unlevel range(s) will create battery installation problems in lining up the manifolding system, and result in uneven cooked product. Using a carpenter's level, level the range(s) from front-to-rear and side-toside. With range in its exact location or battery position, adjust leg heights. If installing a battery of equipment, begin with first unit in battery lineup. Adjust legs by turning feet until all legs are resting on the floor.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air. Single Range Installations All single stand-alone ranges require installation using an A.G.A. design-certified pressure regulator with an outlet (manifold) pressure of 6" (1.49 kPa) Water Column for natural gas supply, and outlet (manifold) pressure of 10" (2.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
Standard Oven Pilot Before lighting oven, be sure that range top sections have been lit. 1. Open oven door and locate square pilot lighter cutout. 2. Using a taper, light oven pilot by depressing red ignition button (Fig.19) located on the side control panel above the thermostat knob. Light the pilot and continue to hold the ignition button in for one minute. If pilot fails to light, turn main gas valve OFF and wait 5 minutes before repeating Steps 1 and 2. 3. Set oven thermostat to desired temperature.
4. If pilot fails to light, turn main gas valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes and repeat Steps 2 and 3. 5. After pilot is lit, push the power switch ON and turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. Nightly Shutdown: Turn power switch OFF and the temperature dial to 0 degrees. Complete Shutdown: 1. Push power switch OFF. 2. Turn red gas valve (located behind the control panel) OFF. 3. Turn main gas supply OFF. 4. Disconnect electrical supply cord.
OPERATION WARNING: THE RANGE AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE RANGE. BEFORE FIRST USE Seasoning of Cast Iron Hot Tops and Even-Heat Tops These tops are made of cast iron and should be seasoned prior to use. To season, pour a small amount of cooking oil (about one ounce [28 grams] per square foot [.09 square meters] of surface) over the top. With a cloth, spread the oil over the entire surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth.
CONTROLS (Fig. 21) RANGE TOP BURNER VALVE KNOB When opened, allows gas to flow to the range section. To open valve, turn knob counterclockwise. To close valve, turn knob clockwise. OVEN BURNER VALVE KNOB When opened, allows gas to flow to the oven burner. To open valve, turn knob counterclockwise. To close valve, turn knob clockwise. RED IGNITION BUTTON Used to ignite the oven pilot. To operate, push button in and follow pilot lighting instructions.
INSERTING AND REMOVING STANDARD AND CONVECTION OVEN RACKS Convection oven sections use different style racks and rack guides. On ovens provided with oven rack stops, it is necessary to place the rack, including the support hook, along the top of the side liner runners and slide the rack completely to the rear of the oven compartment until the rack drops into place (Fig. 22). Fig.
LOADING AND UNLOADING OVEN Open the door and load as quickly as practical to conserve heat. Take care to avoid spilling liquids while loading. Close the door and refer to recipe for cooking time. Provide adequate space for product unloading. Rapid unloading will conserve heat and ensure proper preheating conditions for the next load, if applicable. OPERATING SUGGESTIONS Center-Fired Hot Top Range Turn all burners fully on to heat top quickly.
Standard Oven Cooking If you have a standard oven, use your normal recipe times and temperatures. Convection Oven Cooking If you have a convection oven, reduce your normal recipe temperature by 25°F (-3°C). 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.
2. Clean bottom drip pan. To remove drip pan, reach under and lift rear of pan about 1" (25.4 mm), slide pan to the rear about 1/2" (12.7 mm), and drop front end of pan free. Slide pan forward between the front legs. To replace pan, reverse this procedure. 3. Burner air shutter openings must be kept clean. 4. Main burner ports must be kept clean. To clean burners, boil them in a strong solution of lye water for 15-20 minutes, then brush with a wire brush.
Range Tops Daily 1. Wipe top while still warm with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove spillovers, grease, etc., before they burn in. A crust on top of the range looks unsightly and slows down speed of cooking because it reduces the flow of heat to the utensil. Scrape the top if necessary. 2. Clean drip pan under burners. Weekly Boil open top grates and burners in a solution of washing soda and water.
Burned-On Foods and Grease Soaking with hot soapy water will help greatly to remove burned-on foods and grease. Stubborn deposits can be removed with scouring powder mixed into a paste and applied with stainless steel wool or sponges. Do not use ordinary steel wool because particles can become embedded and eventually rust, causing unsightly spots and stains.
