OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THEORY OF OPERATION
These highly versatile medium duty electric ranges have
been engineered and built to give years of satisfactory
use. Vulcan Electric Restaurant Ranges are designed for
nursing homes, plant cafeterias, churches, schools, res-
taurants, etc., normally preparing foods in quantities of 50
servings or less. Range is NOT designed for heavy duty
application.
1. SURFACE UNITS: Solid surface units are French type
cast iron 9 1/2" in diameter with clamped on sheath
type 2000 W. heating elements. Most efficient when
used with utensils having a maximum inside diameter
of 10" or a minimum inside diameter of 9". Stock pots
of 9, 12 and 16 qt. capacities are recommended for
bulk cooking. Heavy Duty hi-speed tubular type
surface units (2000 W) optional for use with fry pans
and stock pots up to 10" 0.D. or 16 qt. capacity.
2. GRIDDLE: The E36-F & FB and E60-F & FB ranges
have a large double griddle (24" x 24") which has two
(2) 3400 W heating elements. Each element is control-
led by a thermostat with a range of 150°F to 500°F. A
red signal light is mounted next to the control dial.
3. OVENS: Ovens are fully insulated, they are 26" wide x
22" deep x 12 1/2" high with an effective rack or deck
area 25" wide x 20" deep. 20" x 22" "restaurant size"
bake sheets or roast pans are recommended. Each
oven is equipped with top and bottom heating
elements. The top element has an infinite heat switch
for directional heat control. The oven is controlled by
150°F to 550°F thermostat with a red signal light
mounted next to the control dial. The oven has an
input of 5000 W, 1250 W for the top element and 3750
W for the bottom element.
4. BROILER: The high shelf broiler (Model E36-B & FB,
E60-B & FB) is equipped with two tubular heating ele-
ments independently controlled by two infinite heat
switches. The grid and drip shield can be used in three
different positions. A removable grease collector is
provided The broiler has a total input of 6000 W. A
double deck 24" high shelf is mounted to the left of
broiler on E60-B & FB ranges.
If power outage occurs, unit will automatically shut down.
When power is restored" to line, unit will automatically
resume normal functions, after unit has pre-heated for 5
minutes. However, if unit is left unattended during power
outage, turn either the infinite switch knob for 220/380 &
208/240 volt or the 3 heat switch knob for 480 volt to the
"off" position. When power is restored to lines, turn
control knob back to "on" position. Unit will be pre-heated
in 5 minutes and normal cooking operations can be
resumed.
SURFACE COOKING
Each of the solid surface units is 9Vz" in diameter, rated
for 200 Watts and is controlled by an infinite heat switch.
A solid surface unit will reach cooking temperature from
room temperature in 5 to 7 minutes at a HI switch setting.
The switches are arranged in pairs with the left switch
controlling front unit and the right switch controlling the
rear unit of the pair and are so marked.
Each dial is marked HI, MED, LO, MED-LO, VERY-LO
HI is full heat and should be used to start cooking quickly
and to bring water to a boil.
Some DO'S and DO NOT'S of surface cooking:
DO use utensils to fit the units (9" to 10" inside diameter)
DO use flat bottomed, straight sided pots and pans.
DO use covers for stock pot work. Water will boil much
sooner and much less heat is required for cooking in a
covered container. Less water may be used thereby
retaining vitamins and minerals in the food.
DO turn off units a few minutes before cooking is com-
pleted to use the heat stored in the plate.
DO NOT allow Surface Units to idle unloaded at HI
switch settings. The hotplates will reach very high
temperatures and this can cause the casting to warp or
dome. Plates idled at 4, and turned to HI when loaded,
will perform bulk cooking Jobs Just as rapidly, without
damage to the units.
NOTE: OPTIONAL HI-SPEED UNITS
Your range may be equipped, if so ordered, with one or
more HEAVY DUTY HI-SPEED Units. While the Surface
Cooking information above applies, there are some differ-
ences:
HI-SPEED Units are for quick heating and cooking.
HEAVY DUTY HI-SPEED Units will preheat to cooking
temperatures in 2 to 5 minutes.
