INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF
ENDURANCE SERIES GAS RESTAURANT RANGES
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE
GENERAL
Vulcan ranges and ovens are produced with quality workmanship and material. These ranges are
designed with efficiency in cooking performance, sanitation and ease of cleaning ability in mind.
Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your range will result in many years of satisfactory
performance.
The manufacturer suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of
the instructions provided.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
This range was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full
responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking,
check for possible shipping damage. If the range is found to be damaged, save the packaging
material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Carefully unpack range(s) and place in the approximate installation position, whether as a battery
or single stand-alone range.
Remove parts (packed in a cardboard box) from oven cavity, or cabinet body, or on top of modular
range(s).
If burner has been shipped using any package strapping devices, remove these before installing
the range.
Before installing, check the electrical service (Convection Oven Models only) and type of gas
supply (natural or propane) to make sure they agree with the specifications on the rating plate
located on the inside of the burner box lower panel. The rating plate will show the voltage, phase,
cycle, full load ampere, BTU, as well as the type of gas. If the supply and equipment requirements
do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart immediately.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
A gas regulator is shipped packaged separately with this unit in the oven cavity area.
This regulator must be installed by an authorized service person before the unit is placed into
operation. See unit data plate, riveted inside the lower front kick panel, for pressure regulator
setting information.
1. Locate either a 3/4" or 1" (19 or 25 mm) NPT gas connection pipe protruding through the back
of the unit.
2. Cover the pipe threads with pipe joint compound resistant to propane gases.
3. Screw the regulator onto the pipe hand tight with flow direction arrow pointing towards the back
of the unit and the regulator adjustment in the up right position.
4. Using a pipe wrench, tighten the regulator securely in the upright position.
Note: The regulator is preset and should not require any additional adjustments.
The pressure regulator must be mounted horizontally to ensure the proper preset outlet pressure.
If mounted in any other direction, the outlet pressure must be rechecked and possibly reset.
A leak limiter is supplied with every regulator to allow excess gas pressure to escape. Do not
obstruct the limiter or the gas regulator, as obstruction may cause the regulator to malfunction.
8. Lift the plate shelf and hang this onto the top of the backsplasher (Fig. 7).
9. From the rear of the range, secure the plate shelf to the backsplasher by placing four 1/4x 20 x
2 5/16 (6 x 509 x 59 mm) bolts provided into the existing bolt holes and tighten (Fig. 8).
NOTE: For broiler mounting, assemble the backsplasher/plate shelf as described in steps 1 through
9, then follow instructions provided by the broiler manufacturer for mounting the broiler to the plate
shelf.

GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be
resistant to the action of propane gases.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR
LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed 1/2psig (3.45 kPa), the range and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the range must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
FLUE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the range. It is
recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation
system installed by qualified personnel.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of
18" (457 mm) must be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the
standard for "Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment," NFPA No. 96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
