KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
GENERAL
Your Vulcan steam jacketed kettle is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper
installation, usage and maintenance will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
Vulcan-Hart Company suggests that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow
all of the instructions provided.
INSTALLATION
Prior to installation check the electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or propane) to
make sure they agree with the specifications on the machine data plate located on the lower-left
inside front cover.
UNPACKING
This kettle 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 kettle is found to be damaged, save the packaging
material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
LOCATION
Position the kettle in its final location. Check that there are sufficient clearances for operating
and servicing the kettle, and for proper clearance of the cover when raised. Keep the kettle free
and clear from all combustible substances. Minimum clearance from combustible and non-
combustible construction is 2" (
5.0 cm) at the rear and 6" (15.2 cm) at each side.
The kettle draw off valve should be located near a floor drain.
Do not obstruct the flow of air into and around the kettle. This air flow is necessary for proper
combustion of gases and for ventilation of the kettle. Provisions for ventilation and incoming air
supply for the equipment in the room must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
LEVELING
Place a spirit level on the rim of the kettle with the cover open. Turn the feet in or out to level the
kettle in both the left-to-right and front-to-rear directions.
