    ASSEMBLY Legs Position fryer in an open space near the final installation area. Tilt fryer back, being careful to avoid scratching the finish. Thread front legs clockwise into mounting plates provided on the bottom of the fryer until seated. Tilt to front and thread back legs similarly. Carefully raise fryer to its normal position and place it in the installing location.
  • Page 6: Testing The Gas Supply System

    TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM When test pressures exceed psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
  • Page 7: Operation

    If the shortening becomes overheated, a high temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off and extinguish the pilot. DO NOT relight the pilot until the shortening temperature is below 300°F (149°C). If this situation persists, contact your local Vulcan-Hart authorized service office. — 7 —...
  • Page 8: Lighting The Pilot

    LIGHTING THE PILOT 1. Turn thermostat OFF. Thermostat is located behind the door (Fig. 3). 2. Turn gas control valve knob to OFF/PILOT (Fig. 4). Wait 5 minutes for unburned gas to vent. 3. Push gas control knob in (Fig. 4). 4.
  • Page 9: Frying Foods

    FRYING FOODS • Heat shortening to set temperature. • Pieces of product to be fried should be about the same size to ensure the same doneness. • Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize spatter when lowering into the hot oil. •...
  • Page 10: Daily Filtering

    DAILY FILTERING Turn gas valve OFF when draining or filling. The shortening should always be filtered while liquefied. A cold fryer will not drain properly because the shortening under the cold zone tube area will remain hard, even if the heat is on for a few minutes.
  • Page 11 CLEANING Daily Clean your fryer regularly. Keeping the fryer clean and free of accumulated grease will prevent stubborn stains from forming. Wash all exterior surfaces at least once daily. Use a cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent. Follow with a clear rinse, then dry. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.
  • Page 12: Maintenance

    Annually check the flue when it is cool to be sure it is free of obstructions.
