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 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.
