SERVICE MANUAL MODEL GH SERIES HEAVY DUTY GAS RANGES KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE GENERAL Vulcan ranges and ovens are produced with quality workmanship and material. 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. A rating plate is located on the lower left-hand corner of the front frame behind the bellcrank.
OVEN PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSES Too Much Bottom Heat. Insufficient heat input. Overactive flue. Too low temperature. Improper operation. Improper bypass setting Fluctuating gas pressure. Uneven Bake Side Burning Too Much Top Heat Too high temperature. Faulty ventilation. Excessive heat input. Thermostat needs calibration. Uneven Bake - Side to Side Range not level side to side. Oven burner, bottom or baffles improperly installed. Pulling to Edge of Pan Warped pans. Oven not level.
LIGHTING AND SHUTTING DOWN PILOTS OPEN TOP, GRIDDLE TOP AND HOT TOP BURNER PILOTS 1. Turn main gas supply ON. 2. Turn all top burner valve knobs ON to purge gas line of air. 3. Turn top burner valve knobs OFF. 4. Wait 30 seconds. 5. Using a taper, light the pilot(s). 6. If pilot fails to light, wait 5 minutes and repeat Steps 1 through 5. 7. Turn one top burner valve ON to ensure that all gas lines are completely purged of air. Turn burner OFF when gas begins to flow.
Nightly Shutdown: Turn oven burner valve OFF. Complete Shutdown: Turn oven burner valve OFF. Turn main gas supply OFF. CONVECTION OVEN PILOT Before lighting oven, be sure that range top sections have been lit. 1. Connect range to the main electrical supply line. Open oven door panel and locate square pilot lighter cutout. 2. Turn red gas valve (located behind the control panel) ON, purging the gas line of all air. Turn gas valve and power switch OFF. Close oven door. 3.
Open Top Burner Pilot Adjustments Tools: Standard screwdriver. After pilot is lit, turn the open top burner(s) ON. Adjust the flame if necessary. To adjust, rotate the pilot valve adjustment screw provided on the manifold pipe. Turn the burner ON; burner flame should appear on the burner head within a second. Rotate the screw clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to increase the flame. Check the open top burner nozzle relationship.
Ignite oven/griddle burner pilot. With oven/griddle cold, turn the thermostat dial slowly clockwise until main burner gas is heard snapping ON. Remove the dial. With a screwdriver, turn the bypass adjustment screw (Fig’s. 3 & 4) counterclockwise to increase the bypass flame, or clockwise to decrease it, until flame over the entire burner is approximately 1/8" high.
3. Turn dial to any temperature setting and allow oven to heat until flame cuts down to bypass. Let cycle several times. 4. After burner has been on sufficiently long enough to cut down the bypass flame, check oven temperature. Recalibrate the control if your reading is not within 15°F of the dial setting. If recalibration is required, proceed as follows: 5. Remove dial. 6. With a screwdriver, loosen the two calibration screws (Fig. 5) until calibration plate moves independently of the control. 7.
"A" DIAL SHAFT DECREASE INCREASE "A" 1/4 TURN = 35º F THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION Fig. 6 PL-50119 AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF PILOT INSTRUCTIONS Cleaning To clean limiting orifice (Fig. 7), turn gas supply to range OFF. Disconnect pilot tubing at the pilot burner body. The orifice is then accessible at the body end of the pilot burner and can be removed for cleaning. Clean spud, taking care not to enlarge the orifice hole. Fig. 7 Service Instructions (Fig. 8) 1.
Thermostatically Controlled Griddle Recalibration Field recalibration is seldom necessary and should not be resorted to unless cooking results definitely prove that griddle surface temperature and thermostat setting do not agree. To check griddle temperature, use an accurate "surface temperature thermometer" in the following manner. 1.
