SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

Vulcan-Hart suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided. Your Vulcan Model VL Food Steamer is produced with quality workmanship and materials. Its boiler is fully automatic with the heat input controlled by preset pressure switches. A solenoid valve feeds makeup water as needed. The steamer is equipped with adjustable feet.

Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your food steamer will result in many years of satisfactory performance.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical service and gas supply (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the rating plate located on the boiler access door. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart immediately.

UNPACKING

This food steamer was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment.

IMPORTANT: Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the food steamer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

REMOVE THE BURNER SHIPPING RESTRAINT

The steamer is shipped as a complete unit and no assembly is required. However, the burner shipping restraint must be removed (Fig. 1). To do this, remove two hex nuts and two washers from the weldstuds on the boiler shell.

LOCATION

Position the food steamer in its final location. Check that there are sufficient clearances to service the controls, for door swings, etc., so there will be no problem in making the required supply and drain connections. Recommended clearances for proper operation is 36" (91.4 cm) at the front. The required minimum clearance from combustible or noncombustible construction is 6" (15 cm) at the sides and back. The recommended clearances for servicing the steamer are 18" (46 cm) on the sides and back, and 36" (91.4 cm) in the front. Clearances less than 18" may require removal of adjacent equipment during servicing at customer's expence.

Allow enough space between any other piece of equipment or a wall for access. All service on the compartment controls begins by removing the panel on the left side of the food steamer.

Refer to the Installation Drawing on page 8 for installation location requirements.
