INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the type of gas supply (natural or propane) and electrical service agree with

the specifications on the rating plate which is located on the inside of the door panel. If the supply and

equipment requirements do not agree, contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart immediately.

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the pasta cooker is found to be

damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Do not use the door or its handle to lift or move the pasta cooker.

For pasta cookers shipped on a pallet: Before removing the cooker from the pallet, assemble

casters or legs (see ASSEMBLY in this manual).

The pasta cooker is shipped without the swivel head attached. Look for the swivel head in the tank of

the cooker and screw it onto the faucet before hooking up the water.

LOCATION

Do not install pasta cooker next to a deep fat fryer because a splash-over of water into the hot oil may

cause a flash fire.

The equipment must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.

The pasta cooker, when installed, must have minimum clearance from combustible construction of 6"

(152 mm) from the sides and 6" (152 mm) from the rear. Clearance requirement from non-combustible

construction is 0" at the sides and rear. The pasta cooker may be installed on combustible floors.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.

A minimum front clearance of 36" (914 mm) is required.

The pasta cooker must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be

obstructed. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided.

Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room suitable for the amount of combustion gas

feeding the burners.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the pasta cooker. Avoid open windows next to the pasta cooker.

Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the

action of propane gases.

Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the pasta cooker.

Connect gas supply to the pasta cooker. The gas inlet is located at the rear of the pasta cooker on the

lower right when facing the rear of the machine.

The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2" (13 mm) iron pipe. If using the optional quick-

disconnect flex hose, 3/4" (19 mm) iron pipe must be used unless 3/4" to 1/2" (19 to 13 mm) reducing fittings

are used. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.

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.

GAS PRESSURES AND ORIFICES

The standard orifices are set at 4" W.C. (Water Column) (1 kPa) manifold pressure for natural gas and

10" W.C. (Water Column) (2.5 kPa) manifold pressure for propane gas. A pressure regulator is

supplied as part of the gas control valve.

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

When test pressures exceed 1/2psig (3.45 kPa), the pasta cooker and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

When test pressures are 1/2psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the pasta cooker must be isolated from the gas

supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

LEVELING THE PASTA COOKER

Once gas connections have been made:

1. Place a spirit level on top of the pasta cooker.

2. Adjust the legs or casters to ensure that the pasta cooker is level front-to-back and side-to-side

in the final installed position.

Adjust casters:

1. Loosen the set screws in the caster extension.

2. Adjust the height.

3. Tighten the set screws.

– 9 –

FLUE CONNECTIONS

The pasta cooker must be located under a hood which has an adequate connection to an exhaust duct.

The hood must extend 6" (152.4 mm) beyond the sides of the pasta cooker.

Adequate ventilation must be provided and must comply with NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), and

with local codes.

Clearance above the pasta cooker should be adequate for products of combustion to be removed

efficiently. An 18" (457 mm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the

filters of the hood venting system.

Never make flue connections directly to the pasta cooker. DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from

the flue duct located on the rear of the pasta cooker.

Adequate air should be provided in the kitchen to replace air taken out by the ventilating system. This

will prevent the pasta cooker from being affected by a reduced atmospheric pressure.

It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation

system installed by qualified personnel.

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL

ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL CODES.

WARNING: APPLIANCES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CORD(S) ARE PROVIDED

WITH A THREE-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG WHICH MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY

GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE,

CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.

The pasta cooker is equipped with a 120 Volt / 60 Hz. / 1 Phase cord and plug which requires only that

it be plugged into a properly grounded 120 volt receptacle.

Do not connect the pasta cooker to electrical supply until after gas connections have been made.

The wiring diagram is located on the inside of the door panel.

– 10 –

PL-41145

WATER QUALITY

The water supply connected to this pasta cooker should contain no more than 2.0 grains of hardness

per gallon with pH from 6.5 to 8.0. This degree of hardness and pH can easily be obtained with the use

of a properly maintained water softener.

Water supplies vary from one location to another. A local water treatment specialist should be

consulted before installing the pasta cooker.

Untreated water contains scale producing minerals which can precipitate onto the surfaces in the

cooker and its components. This can result in early component failure and reduced product life.

Strainers and filters will NOT remove minerals from the water. Refer to DELIMING in this manual.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS

The pasta cooker 1" NPT Discharge Drain Pipe must be connected to the floor drain of the installation

site.

1. For standard discharge connection, using 1" NPT pipe directing the discharge drain from the

front of the cooker straight down into the floor. An alternate rear drain diverter method may also

be used. It is recommended that when using the diverter method a 1" capped tee be installed

for ease of cleaning. This method entails 1" pipe and fittings from the discharge at the front of

the unit to a rear drain. It will be necessary to use a combination of 1" tee, elbows and nipples

to access the drain location (the installer must determine what will be required).

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

WARNING: PLUMBING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SANITARY, SAFETY

AND PLUMBING CODES.

A3/4" (19 mm) male hose connection is provided at the rear of the pasta cooker. On single body pasta

cookers GPC12, the water connection hookup is located in the rear of the cooker, in the leg channel

of the base frame. Note that the GPC12 models have only a hot water valve on the front control panel;

therefore, it is recommended that the hot water rear connection hookup be used.

The double body pasta cookers GPC12S, have hot

and cold water valves and should be hooked up

utilizing the appropriate rear connections as shown in

Fig 2.

A water hammer arrestor (meeting ASSE-1010

Standard) must be supplied (by other than Vulcan-

Hart Company) in the water supply line at the service

connection.
