GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
Vulcan Ovens are produced with quality
workmanship and material. Proper
installation, usage, and maintenance of
your oven will result in many years of
satisfactory performance.
The Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven is more
than just an oven – it’s a “System”;
precisely controlled heat, regulated to
retain ascorbic acid and maximize the
nutritional value, taste and eye-appeal
of food. In this environment, virtually
any food product can be prepared to
delicious perfection in just ONE oven!
“System” food preparation eliminates
the need for multiple ovens with
duplicate features.
This manual is provided to assist
persons responsible for the operation
and maintenance of the oven with a
simple, but comprehensive under-
standing of its proper use. We
recommend that you thoroughly read
this entire manual and carefully follow all
of the instructions provided prior to
placing the oven into operation.
As with any piece of food service
equipment, this oven system requires a
minimum of care and maintenance.
Recommended procedures are
contained in this manual and should
become a regular part of the operation
of the unit.
The Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven is the
right choice for low temperature food
preparation.
PRINCIPLES OF
COOK & HOLD OVENS
Vulcan Cook & Hold Ovens are
designed and perfected for cooking at a
lower temperature. The principles of
Low Temperature Cooking and Holding
can be summarized into several
objectives: increased product yields,
increased profits from increased
yields, increased moisture retention,
increased tenderization, and
consistency of doneness.
When the Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven
finishes the cooking cycle, it
automatically switches to the hold cycle.
Throughout this manual we recommend
holding temperatures such as 140⁰F
(60⁰C). This temperature refers to the
oven’s hold temperature setting and not
to the internal temperature of the food
being roasted. The internal product
temperature will run below the hold
temperature. (For example: roast beef
held at 140⁰F will be about 130⁰F
internally or medium rare.)
All meat products contain enzymes.
These enzymes perform the
important function of tenderizing the
meat when they reach temperatures
of 100⁰F (38⁰C) to 140⁰F (60⁰C). As
these enzymes are heated, they break
down the connective tissue that is
inherent in all red meat products.
The hold cycle allows this natural
tenderization process to proceed in an
orderly manner. As long as the internal
![](asset-5.png)
VRH SERIES OVENS F-41207 (07-11)
4
temperature of the meat does not
exceed 140⁰F, the process will continue.
Once the temperature reaches 140⁰F
the process will stop, because the
enzymes will be deactivated.
This tenderization process makes the
meat more flavorful. It is similar to aging
meat before it is sold. The longer the
hold, the higher degree of tenderization.
Each hour of holding is equal to one
day of aging.
BENEFITS OF
COOK & HOLD OVENS
Superior Results: Low temperature
roasting has been recognized as the
best method for preparing meat and
poultry because of increased
tenderness, more even roasting, and a
juicer product.
Increased Sales: You will attract more
customers and have more repeat
business because you are now
producing a superior product in your
market area. All of your products will be
unique, from prime rib and chicken to
BBQ ribs, pork roasts, and even bakery
items!
Reduced Energy Costs: It costs
significantly less to run a Vulcan Cook &
hold Oven instead of a conventional
oven. Also, in most areas, no exhaust
hood is needed.
Reduced Shrinkage of Product: You
can cut your percent of shrinkage from
25 to 30% down to 5 to 10%. This
means more servings to sell to your
customers! The Vulcan Cook & Hold
Oven can pay for itself in just months,
depending on your volume.
Reduced Labor Cost: Your cooks do
not have to come in early to put roasts
in or stay late to take them out of the
oven. Holding banquet foods in a
Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven reduces that
last minute party prep to almost nothing.
COMPARISON OF
COOK & HOLD OVENS
“The Comparison Stops Here” –
more than a catchy slogan, it’s a fact.
Convection ovens, unlike Vulcan Cook
& Hold Ovens, blast high temperature
dry air over the product. The end result
with convection oven cooking is
excessive and unnecessary shrinkage.
Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven Systems:
1. Offer a lifetime heating element
warranty.
2. Provide a natural roasted
brown, caramelized product
without coloring agents.
“You can taste the difference.”
3. Do not require a ventilation
hood. (See pg. 5)
4. Are accurate, plus or minus
5⁰F.
5. Are easy to clean.
6. Have stainless steel construction
inside and out.

INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the
electrical service agrees with the
specifications on the rating plate
located on the lower back corner of
the oven. (Fig. 4) If the supply and
equipment requirements do not agree,
do not proceed with unpacking and
installation. Contact your Vulcan
Customer Service Department
immediately.
UNPACKING:
The oven 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 to
the oven.
If the oven is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and
contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.
Carefully unpack and place in a work
accessible area as near the installation
position as possible.
1. Open oven door(s) and remove
packing material.
2. Check under oven or separate
package for racks, pans, etc.
3. Peel off vinyl protection film from
oven.
CLEANING:
The oven should be thoroughly cleaned
prior to putting into service. Refer to
cleaning instructions in this manual.
LOCATION:
For efficient oven operation, choose a
location that will provide easy loading
and unloading without interfering with
the final assembly of food orders. The
installation location must allow adequate
clearances for servicing and proper
operation.
VRH88
The VRH88 oven is simply two (2)
VRH8 ovens stacked on top of each
other. One (1) oven will come with a
caster kit and a stacking assembly on
top. The oven without casters is
placed inside the stacking assembly.
VENTILATION HOOD
REQUIREMENTS
Some local State Codes require the use
of a ventilation hood for equipment
operating in excess of 250⁰F. Many will
allow operation of Rethermalization
Ovens at lower temperatures. Please
contact a Service Agency to modify this
parameter, if needed to meet local State
Codes.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The Oven and its parts
are hot. Be very careful when operating,
cleaning, or servicing the oven.
Always unplug
electrical power supply before
cleaning.
Avoid splashing water into upper
areas of the oven to prevent damage
to electrical components or
connections.
Never spray the unit with a hose.
Never use harsh chemicals or
abrasive pads to clean the oven.
DAILY:
1. Unplug electrical power supply.
2. Allow oven to go through cool-
down period before cleaning.
3. Remove the Interior Side Racks
4. Take the Interior Side Racks to a
sink or dishwasher for a thorough
cleaning. Use a mild soap and
water solution to clean these
items.
5. If necessary, clean the interior of
the oven with a damp cloth.
Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
6. Reassemble oven.
7. Clean the exterior of the oven
with a clean damp cloth.
HEAVY-DUTY CLEANING:
For heavy-duty cleaning, use warm
water, a degreaser, and a plastic,
stainless steel, or scotch-brite pad.
Never rub in a circular motion. Always
rub gently in the direction of the steel
grain. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
with a soft cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
CLEANING:
Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron,
which will rust if not properly maintained.
Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30%
chromium, which forms an invisible
passive, protective film that shields
against corrosion.
If the protective film remains intact, the
stainless steel will remain intact.
However, if the film is damaged, the
stainless steel can break down and rust.
PREVENTIVE CARE:
To prevent stainless steel break-
down, follow these steps:
1. Never use any metal tools,
scrapers, files, wire brushes,
or scouring pads (except for
stainless steel scouring pads,)
which will mar the surface.
![](asset-c.png)
VRH SERIES OVENS F-41207 (07-11)
11
2. Never use steel wool – which
will leave behind particles that will
rust.
3. Never use acid-based or
chloride containing cleaning
solutions – which will break
down the protective film.
4. Never rub in a circular motion.
Always rub gently in the direction
of the steel grain.
5. Never leave any food products
or salt on the surface. Many
foods are acidic. Salt contains
chloride.
PRESERVING & RESTORING:
Special stainless steel polishing
cleaners can preserve and restore the
protective film.
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a
regular application of a high-quality
stainless steel polishing cleaner, as a
final step to daily cleaning.
If signs of breakdown appear, restore
the stainless steel surface. First,
thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the
surface. Then, on a daily basis, apply a
high-quality stainless steel polish
according to manufacturer’s instructions.
HEAT TINT:
Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” may
appear on stainless steel exposed to
excessive heat. Excessive heat causes
the protective film to thicken. This is
unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent
damage.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine
cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint
will require heavy-duty cleaning. To
reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of
equipment to excessive heat.
DOOR GASKET CARE
DOOR GASKET:
At least once a week, thoroughly check
the door gasket for damage/wear. A
damaged gasket can cause inefficient
and unsatisfactory operation of the
oven.
If the gasket requires cleaning:
1. Gently wash gasket using a
moist cloth, a mild detergent
solution, and warm water.
2. Rinse with a fresh cloth
moistened in warm water to
remove all traces of detergent.
3. Gently wipe dry with a clean dry
cloth.
Never apply food oils, or petroleum
lubricants directly to the gasket(s).
Petroleum based solvents and
lubricants will reduce the gasket’s life.

COOKING
INTRODUCTION
This cooking guide has been produced
for your Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven
System. It should be used as a handy
reference when using your oven. The
guide has been developed to help
answer questions which you may have
relating to product preparation as well
as making you familiar with the
operation of your Cook & Hold Oven.
When using your oven, experiment with
your own house specialties. The degree
of doneness varies based upon
individual preferences. These
preferences can be easily accomplished
by varying the recommended time
guidelines in this manual. The
guidelines which are presented in this
manual are suggested and have been
tested to insure product preparation as
indicated.
The concept of “Low Temperature
Cooking” is not a science, it is an art.
Chefs from around the world vary in
terms of the doneness and appearance
in the products which they prefer.
Therefore, we suggest first
understanding what your Oven System
will do for the multitude of applications
available to you.
COOKING RACK
Depending upon the size of the Cook &
Hold Oven, each unit is supplied with a
specially designed cooking rack(s). The
cooking rack must be used when
cooking food products to insure absolute
product quality and integrity.
The cooking rack is simply placed inside
a standard 18” x 26” sheet tray (2/1
Gastronome) and the product which is
to be cooked and held is placed on top
of the cooking rack. When more than
one product is being prepared, the food
products should not be cramped
together onto one cooking rack.
Sufficient room should separate the
products on a single cooking rack to
insure proper circulation of air around
the product.
When loading the oven, an additional
18” x 26” sheet tray, in an inverted
position, (Fig. 5) should be placed
directly above the food product being
prepared. This creates the necessary
air flow pattern to produce highly
desirable carmelization and uniform
roasting of the product.
INVERTED SHEET TRAY
Fig. 5
A helpful hint when loading your food
product on the cooking rack is to either
line your 18” x 26” sheet tray with foil, or
spray with a quality vegetable oil. This
helps with easy clean up after use.
