Installation, Operation and Care of CERAMIC AND SUNGLOW HEAVY DUTY BROILERS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided. Your Vulcan Sunglow or Ceramic Broiler is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your broiler will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
LOCATION - ALL MODELS The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. The broiler, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible and noncombustible construction of: Models Minimum Clearance to Combustible Construction GHCBO40, GHCB44 & GHMCB44 . . . . . . . . 6" (152.4 mm) sides and rear IR44 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0" sides and 4" (101.6 mm) rear GHCB1 & GHCB2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4" (101.
Provide a gas line strain relief to limit movement of the broiler, without depending on the connector and any quickdisconnect device or its associated piping to limit the broiler movement. Attach the strain relief to the rear of the broiler (Fig. 1). If disconnection of the strain relief is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect the strain relief before turning the gas supply on and returning the broiler to its original installation position.
Broilers Shipped in Two Pieces for Restacking The incorporation of the stacking straps will eliminate the use of the two oval slots, one to the left and one to the right, behind the finishing back of the top section. (See Step 2 under Broilers Shipped PreStacked.) 1. Position broilers as near to installation location as possible. Remember to allow enough room to complete stacking procedures. 2. Carefully lift top section and rest it evenly onto the bottom section. STACKING STRAP 3.

Align the four holes/slots in the rear flange of the diverter with the holes in the rear top flange of broiler, and reinstall four 10-24 sheet metal screws (Fig. 7). 5. Diverter installation is now complete (Fig. 8). Body Side Extensions Body side extensions are wrapped separately and packaged lying in the top broiler compartment of each GHCB40/44 Broiler. The use of these extensions is optional.
Fire Brick Installation - GHCB40/44 All GHCB40/44's come equipped with 12 center fire bricks and 8 side bricks. The bricks must be placed in the broiler at the time of installation. The bricks are packaged in a cardboard box, which is placed in the top broiler compartment for shipping. To install the bricks, follow the steps below: 1. Cut through the shipping wire strap that holds the broiler grid in place if this has not already been done. 2. Place the broiler grid into its lowest position.
4. Center bricks are installed towards the center of the broiler in three rows of four bricks each. Install the center bricks similar to that of the side bricks in Step 3. Angle the bricks and slip them up between the burners, then set them in place. NOTE: The center bricks are to be installed to rest between two burners on the vertical burner flange (Fig. 14 and 15).

Fig. 16 Questions or concerns regarding the installation procedures may be addressed by calling the VulcanHart Service Department (502) 778-2791. 3. Engage union nut on manifold pipe of broiler with the male fitting on the next broiler, and draw up union hand-tight. Be sure broilers butt both front and rear. NOTE: Broilers are mounted on a steel, skid-type base, so a crowbar may be used to jockey units. If the manifolds do not line up, then the broilers are not level. 4.
GAS CONNECTIONS CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases. Connect gas supply to the broiler(s). 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 broiler. Natural gas broilers and propane gas broilers are equipped with fixed orifices and no adjustment is necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES. If the broiler is not equipped with a grounding plug and electrical supply is needed, ground the broiler by using the ground lug provided (refer to the wiring diagram located inside the lower cabinet section).
Carbonization of Ceramics If the ceramics take on a black sooty accumulation, the burners are receiving an insufficient amount of air. Open the air shutters further to provide more air. If carbonization occurs during initial adjustment, it will burn off as soon as proper adjustment is achieved.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS - MODELS GHCB1 AND GHCB2 1. Remove burner box front cover and turn gas supply ON. 2. Place the ceramics, with the projections down, to the rear of broiler burners. The lugs on the burners will properly position themselves. The ceramics are sized at the factory. 3. Turn the gas valve ON and allow air in the line to purge. When gas begins to flow, turn gas valve OFF and wait 5 minutes before lighting the pilots. The pilot flame should be about 3/4" high and burner with a taper.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS - MODELS IR2 AND IR44 (INFRARED) 1. Remove burner box cover. 2. Turn gas supply ON. 3. Turn pilot burner B valve (located in the lower left-hand compartment) (Fig. 19) ON and light pilots (one pilot per burner) with a taper (Fig. 20). 4. If the pilots go out, turn B valve (Fig. 19) OFF and wait 5 minutes, then repeat Step 3. BURNER B VALVE TOGGLE SWITCH INDICATOR LIGHT PL-41731-1 PL-41732 Fig. 19 Fig.
Pilot Burner Adjustment Turn the pilot burner B valve ON. The valve is located in the lower compartment. Each burner is provided with a standing pilot burner. Adjust the pilot flame to approximately a 3 /4" (19 mm) flame length. The adjusting valve is installed in the inlet of the pilot burner manifold, located behind the removable front panel above the grid area (Fig. 21). PILOT BURNER ADJUSTMENT VALVE BURNER ORIFICE TIP HI-LOW VALVE PL-41733-1 Fig.
Main Burner Adjustment Orifices (1 per burner) are located in the front of each burner venturi, behind a removable front panel above the grid area. Each burner is controlled by either a "Hi-Lo" Valve (IR2), or a "Hi-Med-Lo" Valve (IR44) and an orifice (Fig. 22). Main Burner Valve Adjustment The "high" position is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The "low" position may be adjusted to obtain the minimum stable flame.
OPERATION WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE BROILER. CONTROLS Au Gratin Oven Door and Handle — (GHCBO40, GHCB44, GHMCB44 and IR44) Counterbalanced for easy opening. To open, lift the door handle up. To close the door, pull the handle straight down. Grid Positioning Handle — Allows grid assembly to be adjusted to the proper level depending on the product being prepared.
Broiler Control Valve — Regulates the flow of gas to the broiler burner. To operate the valve, turn it counterclockwise. Turn the knob clockwise to the OFF position to shut burners down. Model IR44 has three settings. The first position is HI, the second is LOW and the third is MEDIUM. Model IR2 has two settings. The first position is HI and the second is LOW. Models GHCBO40, GHCB44, GHMCB44, GHCB1 and GHCB2 settings are variable, using a manual throttle.
COOKING It is not necessary to preheat the IR Model broilers before using, nor is it necessary to keep the gas on a low setting when not in use. Broiling temperatures are reached within 90 seconds. Burner life will be extended if the burners are turned off between cooking periods. Select the desired grid position and gas setting. It is recommended that gas input be reduced first when lower grid temperatures are desired.
Model GHCB44, GHMCB44, GHCB1 and GHCB2 To Start Turn burner gas valve ON. Shutdown - Nightly Turn burner gas valve OFF. Complete Shutdown 1. Turn burner gas valve OFF. 2. Turn main gas valve OFF and extinguish pilot. COOKING CHART - GHCBO40 OVEN ONLY Recommended temperatures and times are intended as a guide only.

CLEANING WARNING: UNPLUG THE POWER CORD BEFORE CLEANING THE BROILER. Daily Exterior Clean the exterior finish of the broiler with a mild soap solution or similar grease-dissolving material. DO NOT use Dawn Dish Detergent. Broiler and Oven Clean the broiler, oven sections and doors, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauce were baked or meats roasted, or if there have been any spillovers. Stainless Steel Routine cleaning of stainless steel may be done with ordinary soap or detergent and water.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE BROILER. WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES. The efficient operation of this broiler depends upon a rather delicate balance between the volume of gas and the supply of air. Unless complete combustion of the gas is achieved, poor operating characteristics and excessive gas consumption can occur.
