Split Vat
1. Remove crumb screens.
2. Divide a 50-pound block of shortening into two equal halves (approximately 25 pounds each).
3. Place each half of the shortening directly on the heating elements in each well of the fry tank and
slide back.
4. Place crumb screens on top of shortening in tank.
Single Vat
1. Remove crumb screen.
2. Place 50-pound block of shortening directly on the heating elements in the tank and slide back.
3. Place crumb screen on top of shortening.
Melt Cycle
1. Set temperature control knob to desired cooking temperature and turn on power switch. Place Fry/
Melt switch in the MELT position. It will take approximately 45 minutes to completely melt the cold
shortening. Energy savings may be obtained by covering the vat(s) during the melt cycle.
2. Elements will cycle on and off until the shortening melts and a temperature of 135 F is obtained.
Then the temperature controller will bring the fryer to set temperature.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
The function of the high limit control is to shut the fryer down in the event of a thermostat failure which
would allow the shortening to be overheated. The operating temperature of the high limit control is
435 F, or 60 F higher than the highest temperature allowed by the thermostat when the thermostat
is functioning properly.
In the event of a High Limit "Shutdown," the entire control system will be put out of operation.
DO NOT attempt to restart the fryer until the temperature of the shortening has lowered to
approximately 350 F.
If this situation persists, do not attempt to bypass the High Limit; shut fryer down and contact a Vulcan-
authorized service agency.
DRAINING AND FILTERING SHORTENING
Turn power switch OFF when draining or filling.
