fl ASSEMBLY

All convection ovens must be installed on legs or be mounted to a stand. Ovens should not be installed on any surface that will restrict air circulation and must be installed in accordance with all national, state and local codes. Updated standards (NFPA-7O and NFPA Standard #96) are available through the National Fire Protection Association.

GAS OVENS, STACKED

  1. Important: Verify that the flue deflector has been removed from the top oven and that the stacking flue has been properly mounted to both ovens.
  2. If mounting with casters, a flexible connector* must be used (not supplied by Vulcan). Note: Operators will also need a quick-disconnect device that complies with the ANSI-Z21.41 / CSA 6.9 standard.
  3. Once installed, it’s imperative that operators minimize movement. A restraining device should be attached at the rear of the oven to ensure the equipment is stationary.
  4. Shared piping allows each oven to receive gas from one connection. Pipe joints should be sealed with

*Connectors must be ANSI Z21.69 / CSA 6.16 compliant.

ELECTRIC OVENS, STACKED

If using single power source for both ovens:

  1. Verify that all wires are routed from the top oven to the bottom oven are connected.
  2. Confirm the power supply conduit has been attached to the bottom of the lower oven.
  3. Confirm that the top flue deflector has been removed from the stacking flue.

If using separate power sources for both ovens:

  1. Ensure that each individual oven has been wired properly according to the diagram below, and that each oven has a power supply conduit attached at the bottom of the ovens.
  2. Confirm that top oven vent guard has been removed from the stacking flue.

II LEVELING

Ensure that oven has been properly leveled in it’s final install position before connecting gas lines. To ensure a quality product, it is imperative that the oven is completely level. Without it, operators run the risk of having an unevenly baked product every time. For ovens installed on legs, adjust the feet front-to-back and side-to-side.

For casters, loosen screws and turn to level the oven, then re-tighten.

II GAS SUPPLY LOCATION

Vulcan VC5 Convection Ovens are supplied with gas through an inlet at the rear of the oven. Verify that a shutoff valve has been installed on the gas line before the oven is installed and remember – gas should not be connected until the oven has been properly leveled.

IJ GAS CONNECTION

Gas connection pipes must be¾” to supply the required gas volume and pressure to properly operate the oven. Ovens are outfitted with a built-in electronic regulator and electronic ignition. No external regulator is necessary.

rl BURNER FLAME COLOR

Check burner air during lnstallatlon to ensure proper air flow. Flame should burn blue in the flame chamber and heat exchanger tubes.

B PROPER VENTILATION

The flue should remain unobstructed. Flue gases need to be ventilated to the outside of the building through use of a hood venting system with a minimum clearance of 18″.

IJ ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Ensure proper grounding connections are available before installing. VC series ovens are supplied with a 120 V/60 Hz/1 PH cord and plug.
