Your Vulcan Electric Convection Oven is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper
installation, usage and maintenance of your oven 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
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the oven, check for possible shipping damage. If this oven is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the electrical supply agrees with the specifications on the oven data
plate, located on the inside of the top front cover.
Do not use the door or its handle to lift the oven.
LOCATION
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
In the United States, Vulcan electric ovens must be installed in accordance with: 1) State and local
codes; 2) ANSI/NFPA 96, Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment (latest edition), available from
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269; and 3) National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition).
In Canada, Vulcan electric ovens must be installed in accordance with: 1) Local codes; 2) Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA Standard C22.2 No.1 (latest edition); and 3) Canadian Standard for Commercial
Cooking Equipment, CSA Standard C22.2 No. 109 (latest edition).
INSTALLING BASIC OVEN
CHIMNEY
The basic oven must be installed on legs or be mounted on
a modular stand. Installations on concrete bases or other
supports restricting air circulation underneath the oven is
not advisable and may void the warranty.
Assembling the Legs to the Single Oven
Position the oven on its left side, taking care not to scratch
or damage it.
Thread each of the 4" (10 cm) legs into the holes provided
on the bottom corners of the oven.
PL-52240
Carefully raise the oven to its normal upright position.
Fig. 1
Assembling the Chimney to the Single Oven
Remove the oven chimney from inside the oven cavity and use the screws provided to fasten the
chimney to the top rear of the oven (Fig. 1). The flanges on the chimney are to be positioned over the
top cover.
ASSEMBLING THE OVEN TO THE STAND
FRONT OF TOP OVEN
Unpack the oven and stand. Position oven on its back,
taking care not to scratch or damage it.
LOCATING STUDS
Install the two locating studs (included in the stand carton)
into the screw plates on the underside of the oven (Fig. 2).
BOTTOM
Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the
stand with the 24 bolts and lockwashers (6 per leg).
KNOCK OUT WELDED PLATE
FOR FLUE EXTENSION INSTALLATION
Mount the oven on top of the stand.
REAR OF TOP OVEN
Adjust the legs to make sure that the oven racks are level
in the final installed position.
PL-52992
Fig. 2
– 4 –
ASSEMBLING STACKED OVENS
Determine which oven will be on the bottom and place it on its left side, being careful to avoid scratching
the finish. Install the four legs, using the 24 bolts and lockwashers provided (6 per leg).
7
Place lower oven (with legs) on floor. Remove the two ⁄16" (1.1 cm) knockouts on each side of the
top cover and the 13⁄32" (2.8 cm) knockout on the right side of the top cover. Move this oven to the
installation position.
Install the two locating studs (included in leg stack set) into the screw plates on the underside of the
top oven (Fig. 2) and remove the 13⁄32" (2.8 cm) knockout that will line up with the one removed from
the bottom oven. Carefully place the top oven in position above the bottom oven.
LEVELING
Once the oven is in its permanent position, place a carpenter's level on the oven rack. If the oven is
installed on legs, turn adjustable feet in or out to level oven front-to-back and side-to-side. If the oven
is installed on casters, loosen set screws and turn casters in or out to level oven front-to-back and side-
to-side. Retighten set screws after leveling.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE
APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES.
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE
DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION — Model ECO2C
Roast and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature
is regulated by the Roast thermostat for the amount of time set on the Timer. After the lapsed time
counts down to 00:00, Second Stage Cooking begins. During Second Stage Cooking, the heating
elements are off as the temperature in the oven declines to the Hold Temperature. The doors should
remain closed during Second Stage Cooking.
When the Hold temperature is reached, cooking is done. The Time Display counts up the Hold time
and flashes "Hold". Temperature in the oven will be maintained at the Hold temperature until the oven
is turned off.

PROPER UTENSILS
The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and lightweight pans are
recommended since it is more economical to bake with lighter pans.
Meats should be roasted in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices and allow free air circulation.
CONSERVING ENERGY
• Turn off unused equipment.
• Adjust menu patterns and cooking / baking schedules for optimum equipment use.
• Preheat only to required cooking temperature for specific food, not higher.
• Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary. Use the window to observe cooking
progress.
• Keep area around the oven door clean and free of food particles.
• Any obstruction that prevents the door from closing completely will adversely affect oven efficiency.
– 15 –
OPERATING HINTS
When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness
periodically before the suggested time has elapsed to make sure the desired doneness is achieved.
Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide
consistent, repeatable results.
The convection oven is faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower and
cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the
guidelines regarding times and temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment
with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.
CLEANING
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE
DISCONNECT SWITCH INDICATING THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE OVEN BEFORE
CLEANING.
Clean outside of the oven daily by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
Clean porcelain oven interior daily with soap or detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry
with a soft clean cloth.
Optional Stainless Steel Oven Interior
Soap or detergent and water usually handle routine cleaning. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
clean cloth.
For burned-on foods and grease which resist simple soap and water cleaning, an abrasive cleanser
(scouring powder) mixed into a paste may be used. Apply with stainless steel wool or sponge, always
rubbing with the "grain."
This treatment is equally effective for "heat tint" (slightly darkened areas caused by oxidation). Again,
remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines. Rinse with clear water and dry with a soft cloth.
