PLEASE RETAIN THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.
Your Vulcan Model 900A Series Gas Griddle is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance of your griddle will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
INSTALLATION
UNCRATING
CAUTION: Do not use a fork lift to remove the griddle from the skid; it may result in damage to the components
underneath the griddle or to the front panel.
This griddle 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
griddle is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of the delivery.
Before installing, verify that the electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or propane) agree with the
specifications on the rating plate located behind the griddle control panel. If the supply and equipment requirements
do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart immediately.
LOCATION
Keep the griddle free and clear from all combustible substances. For 902A and 904A hot top sections, the minimum
clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction is 7" from the sides and 3" from the back. For the 924A,
936A, 948A, 960A and 972A griddles, the clearance from combustible construction is 7" from the sides and 3" from
the rear. The clearance from non-combustible construction is 0" from the sides and 0" from the rear. A minimum
clearance of 32" is required for proper servicing and operation.
Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. This air flow is necessary for proper combustion of gases
and for ventilation of the appliance. Provisions for the ventilation of incoming air supply for the equipment in the room
must be in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct located on the rear of the appliance. Flue gases must be
ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by qualified personnel and in accordance
with National Fire Protection Association Standard #96.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the griddle, and wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the griddle sides
and back. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.
