VGL SERIES GAS STEAM KETTLES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

The VGL Series Gas Steam Kettles use efficient gas heat and thermostat controls to provide superior cooking performance. The VGL Kettles are intended for commercial use only; not for household use. If the VGL kettle's model designation ends in E, the unit is provided with electronic ignition instead of a pilot light. The VGL kettles are stationary, self-contained, and come fully assembled from the factory.

INSTALLATION

UNPACKING

Uncrate carefully. Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the steam kettle is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Before installing, verify that the gas (natural or propane), the elevation from sea level, and the electrical supply agree with the specifications on the rating plate which is located on the lower right side. NOTE: if this kettle is being installed above 2000 feet altitude, contact your Vulcan-authorized service office to assure that the proper orifice size for your elevation has been installed.

LOCATION

The installation location must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Clearance from combustible construction must be a minimum of 6 inches from the sides, 2 inches from the back (at the flue box), and 6 inches from the floor (as provided by legs). Provide adequate clearances for cleaning, maintenance, service and proper operation.

The installation of the appliance should not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any ventilating system and for combustion of the gas burners. Do not permit fans to blow directly on the appliance and avoid open windows at the sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross currents within the room. Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the appliance. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a suitable and properly installed ventilation system.
