INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF
MODEL VCB SERIES CHARBROILERS
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL
Vulcan-Hart Charbroilers are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your charbroiler will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions
provided.

INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications
on the rating plate located on the right inside panel. If the supply and equipment requirements do not
agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart Company immediately.

UNPACKING
This charbroiler 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 charbroiler is found to be damaged, save the packaging material
and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Carefully unpack charbroiler and place in a work-accessible area as near to its final installed position
as possible.

LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.
This charbroiler is design certified for installation on a non-combustible counter with 4" (10 cm) legs,
or on a combustible floor with a 24" (61 cm) high cabinet or stand with the following minimum clearances
to adjacent wall construction:

Floor models must clear 6" (15 cm) from combustible floors.
It is recommended that the charbroiler

NOT be installed next to open burners or fryers.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A
minimum front clearance of 24" (61 cm) is required.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance for air openings into the
combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to
replace air taken out by the ventilating system. Do not permit fans to blow directly at the charbroiler.
Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.
Avoid open windows next to the charbroiler.

CHARBROILERS MOUNTED ON A CABINET, STAND, OR OVEN BASE WITH CASTERS
When the charbroiler is mounted on a cabinet, stand, or oven base equipped with casters, it must be
installed with the casters supplied, a connector (not supplied by Vulcan-Hart) complying with either
ANSI Z21.69 (latest edition) or CAN/CGA-6.16 (latest edition), and a quick-disconnect device
complying with either ANSI Z21.41 (latest edition) or CAN1-6.9 (latest edition). Provide a gas line strain
relief to limit movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and any quick-disconnect
device or its associated piping to limit movement of the appliance.
Should it be necessary to disconnect the strain relief, turn off the gas supply before disconnection.
Reconnect the strain relief before turning the gas supply on and returning the broiler to its installation
position.
LEVELING
Place a carpenter's level on the charbroiler. Level the charbroiler front to back and side to side. Unless
the charbroiler is level, it will not give proper cooking results.
Casters for the cabinet, stand, or oven base on which the charbroiler can be mounted are of the nonadjustable type. Therefore, the floor must be level. If floor surface is not level, the charbroiler will
experience cooking problems.

GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action
of propane gases.
Location of the gas inlet is at the right rear corner. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve must be
installed in the gas line ahead of the charbroiler.
Connect gas supply to the charbroiler. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions.
The gas supply line must be 3/4" or larger. If flexible or semi-rigid connections are used, the inside
diameter must be the equivalent of 3/4" iron pipe or larger.
Natural gas pressure regulators are preset for 5" W.C. (Water Column); propane gas pressure
regulators are preset for 10" W.C. A pressure regulator is supplied and must be installed outside the
charbroiler when it is connected to the gas supply.
All orifices are of the fixed type and require no adjustments.
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 gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the charbroiler and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the charbroiler should 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 charbroiler. 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"
(46 cm) 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.

OPERATION
WARNING: THE CHARBROILER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN
OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE CHARBROILER.
CONTROLS
Gas Valves

— Regulate gas flow to the burners.

Pilot Adjusting Valve

— Regulates gas flow to pilot burner.

Gas Pressure Regulator

— Regulates gas pressure to the burners.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn gas shutoff valve and burner gas valves to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes.
2. Turn the gas shutoff valve to the ON position.
3. Turn pilot valve adjusting valve counterclockwise. Light the pilot adjacent to each burner. Adjust
the pilot screw until the pilot flame is 1/4" (6 mm) high. The flame should have a slight yellow tip.
Light pilots through observation holes provided on front face of burner box.
4. Turn the burner gas valve to the ON position.
5. Air shutters on the burners must be individually adjusted to provide a blue flame. Adjust all traces
of yellow out of the burner flame.
6. For complete shutdown, turn the gas shutoff valve, burner gas valves, and the pilot adjustment
valves to the OFF position.
7. To relight, follow steps 1-4.
GRATE POSITION
The cast iron grates are positioned to lay flat for stock pot use and for cleaning. For broiling, reverse
grates to slope forward. If you need an extra griddle for your rush hour periods, a lift-off griddle is
available as an optional extra.
PREHEATING
Allow charbroiler to preheat approximately 30 minutes with burners full-on. Rub grates with grease
before using. The excess grease will run forward and drip onto the front grease trough.
OPERATING THE CHARBROILER
1. Load charbroiler.
2. Turn burners down to prevent overheating which causes the meat to overchar.
3. Scrape the grates with a wire brush during broiling to keep the grates clean. Do not allow debris
to accumulate on the grates.
4. Turn burners to low setting during slack periods to conserve energy.
–6–

The charbroiler is a free-vented appliance. All the products of combustion and the heat generated by
the burners pass through the grates. When meat is placed on the grates, you are blocking the venting,
thus causing a temperature build-up. The charbroiler, with a complete load, will operate most efficiently
with burners turned down 1/3 to 1/2.
DRIP PAN
DO NOT allow the drip pan to overflow. Empty the drip pan when three-quarters full to reduce the
possibility of spillage.
CLEANING
Daily
Thoroughly scrape grate so that grease flows into front grease trough and drip pan. This prevents flareups.
Grates may be laid in the flat position with burners full on to burn off fat and carbon. When grates have
cooled off, brush thoroughly with a steel brush.
Remove grates and front grease trough for thorough cleaning.
Remove and empty drip pan. Clean as you would any normal utensil. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
with a soft clean cloth.
Once charbroiler is clean, replace drip pan, grates, and front grease trough.
Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent and water, using a damp cloth, or with a
commercial stainless steel cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
Burner ports and throats should be thoroughly cleaned. Venturi must be free from grease and lint. DO
NOT insert pick in burner port hole.
Burner with baffle may be removed periodically for cleaning (use a wire brush).
