Installation, Operation and Care of MODELS VTMB22, VTMB2, VB2S & VB21 HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC BROILERS KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE GENERAL Your Vulcan-Hart Heavy Duty Electric Broiler is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your broiler will result in many years of satisfactory performance. Vulcan-Hart Company suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.
INSTALLATION UNPACKING Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the broiler is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery. Remove all shipping wire, wood blocking, and accessories.
Broilers wired for 3-phase service may be changed to 1-phase (or vice versa) by simply relocating two of the four broiler leads on the terminal block as shown in the wiring diagram. (1-phase not available on 480 volt models.) All required broiler wiring diagrams are packaged separately in a clear plastic ziplock bag and shipped with the broiler.
ELECTRICAL TESTS Turn each switch from LOW through HIGH and verify that it controls the heating elements correctly.
OPERATION WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BROILER. CONTROLS Broiler Infinite Load Switches — Two switches independently control the front and rear heating elements in 208 and 240 volt models. The switch located on the left-hand side of the switch panel controls the percent on-time of the two front elements, and the switch located on the right-hand side of the switch panel controls the two rear elements.
When the thermostat is turned on, it provides power to the two 3-heat switches, which in turn, according to their setting, independently turn the top and bottom heating elements on and off. Thus, while the thermostat controls and maintains the oven temperature around the desired set temperature, the 3-heat switches control the rate of temperature build-up. BEFORE FIRST USE Before using for the first time, clean the broiler or oven with detergent and water.
While it is recommended that you set the 3-heat switches to the HIGH position in order to preheat the oven to the desired temperature, it is necessary for some baking products to turn the 3-heat switch controlling the top elements to the MED or LO position in order to reduce the amount of radiant heat applied to the particular product. This will eliminate burning of the top portion of the product. Loading Load the oven as rapidly as possible to prevent excessive heat loss.
TIME, TEMPERATURE & SWITCH SETTING CHART FOR BAKING This baking chart is a guide only. Recipes, mixing procedures, utensils and individual standards of doneness, browning, etc., can result in variations in the precise time, temperature and switch settings necessary to produce a satisfactory product. High product quality can be obtained and maintained only if all phases of the baking operation are properly performed. Variation in ingredients, under or overmixing, holding time before baking, etc.
CLEANING WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING. Do not use Dawn dish detergent to clean the interior or exterior of the unit. Stainless steel oven fronts may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Stubborn soil may be removed with a detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Porcelain oven linings and door linings may be cleaned with a cloth dampened with detergent or oven cleaners. Empty the grease collector and clean in a sink.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: THE BROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE BROILER.
