Frequently Asked Questions - 1036W Vulcan

How to install the 1036W salamander on the wall?

Remove the back panel by removing the two retaining screws and pulling downward. Use the panel as a template to drill the mounting holes, then securely fasten it to the wall with lag screws (not provided). Replace the insulation, hang the unit, and secure it with the screws.

What types of food can be prepared with this electric grill?

The salamander can brown, glaze or keep warm food. Low grid positions are suitable for reheating, high positions for gratinating.

How to adjust the height of the grid?

Insert the left pivot of the grid into the desired notch on the rack, then align the grid and push it fully to the rear until the pivots engage in the tilt notches.

What to do if the heating elements do not turn on?

First check that the product is placed on the front part of the grid (to activate the switch). Make sure the grid is properly inserted into the notches. If the indicator light is on but the elements are not heating, the unit may be in standby mode (25% power). If the problem persists, contact Hobart service.

How to clean the 1036W salamander?

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. Clean with soapy water, rinse and wipe with a soft cloth. Remove the grid and wash it like a kitchen utensil. The heating elements are self-cleaning: do not immerse them in water.

What safety precautions should be followed?

Disconnect the power supply before any intervention. The unit must be grounded in accordance with local codes. During use, components are very hot: wear gloves and avoid any contact.

Can I use the salamander on a counter?

Yes, provided you screw in the four supplied feet and place the unit on a flat, level surface. Note that the 1036W model can also be wall-mounted.

What is the required electrical power?

The unit operates on single-phase 208 or 240 V, 50-60 Hz. Total power is 3600 W (2 elements of 1800 W). A circuit protected by an appropriate fuse or circuit breaker is required.

How to know if the unit is in standby mode?

In standby mode, the elements heat at only 25% of full power and may glow faintly. The indicator light stays on and the fan runs. If no food is on the grid, the elements are in standby mode.

Where to find spare parts or repair service?

Contact the nearest Hobart maintenance service. Parts such as heating elements, grid, or switches are available from this service.

LOCATION

Do not install pass through cheesemelters on a wall. Pass through cheesemelters must be installed with adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.

Do not operate countertop and pass through cheesemelters without the legs in place. Damage to the countertop may result.

It is recommended that the cheesemelter not be installed directly over or directly adjacent to charbroilers, griddles or fryer banks. Quartz elements can be susceptible to the effects of grease laden smoke and installation in these locations may shorten element life. The cheesemelter must be installed so that it is level side to side and front to back

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 ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

Two 1" (25 mm) knockouts are provided at the left rear for conduit installation. The terminal block and grounding lug are located behind the access cover on the left side.

OPERATION

WARNING: THE CHEESEMELTER AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING, OR SERVICING THE CHEESEMELTER.

1. Push the main switch to ON.

2. Pilot lights.

3. Cooling fan runs.

4. Place the product on the front of the rack. The heaters will automatically come on full power.

- If the heaters do not come on full power when the product is placed on the rack:

a. Be sure that the product is on the front half of the rack. The rack is balanced to trip the actuating switch, but the weight must be on the front half of the rack to trip the switch.
b. Check that the rack is at same level on both sides and is correctly inserted.
c. If the rack operates freely, the failure of the actuating switch is the probable cause. Contact your local Vulcan-Hart servicer.

1. Remove the product.

- Heaters will revert to "standby" with 25% of its heat on. (A slight glow may be visible.)

On the 1048, one or both of the two top switches must be on before the heaters will light.

• Top switch is for the left side.
• Bottom switch is for the right side.

The amount of heat may be changed by changing the rack height.

• Lower levels are for food warming.
  • Upper levels are for finishing, glazing, or cheese melting.

CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

1. Allow cheesemelter to cool before cleaning.
2. Clean cheesemelter with soap and water, rinse, and dry with a soft dry cloth.
3. Remove rack and clean as you would any normal utensil.

The heaters are self-cleaning. DO NOT immerse heaters in water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF THE CHEESMELTER BLOWS A FUSE OR TRIPS A CIRCUIT BREAKER

1. Check the capacity of the circuit.
2. Contact your local Hobart Food Equipment Group office.

IF THE HEATERS DO NOT LIGHT

1. If the pilot light does not come on, and the cooling fan does not run, check for a blown fuse or an open circuit breaker.
2. If the pilot light is lit, and the cooling fan is running, but the heaters do not light, the cheesemelter may be in standby. When cheesemelter is in standby with no product on the rack, the heaters may not glow, but will still emit some heat.
3. If one heater is lit, but the other is not, a burnout or a loose connection is the probable cause. Contact your local Hobart Food Equipment Group office.

IF THE COOLING FAN DOES NOT RUN

1. If the pilot light is not lit, and the heaters do not light, check for a blown fuse or an open circuit breaker.
2. If the pilot light is lit and the heaters function, the probable cause is a loose connection. Contact your local Hobart Food Equipment Group office.
