INSTALLATION
Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas
(natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on
the fryer data plate which is located on the inside of
the door panel. Also be sure the unit is built for the
installation elevation.
UNCRATING
This fryer was carefully inspected before leaving the
factory. The transportation company assumes full
responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of
the shipment. Immediately after unpacking the fryer,
check it for possible shipping damage. If the fryer 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
fryer.
LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of
combustible substances.
Minimum clearance from combustible construction is
6" from the sides and 6" from the back of the fryer.
Minimum clearance from non-combustible
construction is 0" from the sides and 6" from the back
of the fryer. There must be at least 16" clearance
between the fryer and any open top flame units.
Adequate clearances for servicing and proper
operation must be allowed. The unit may be installed
on combustible floors.
Install the fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for
combustion of the gas at the fryer burners. Provide
adequate clearance for air openings into the
combustion chamber. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the fryer. Avoid
open windows next to the unit sides or back. Avoid
wall-type fans which create air cross currents within
the room.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
Vulcan-Hart fryers should be installed in accordance
with state and local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition), available from
American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209, and with ANSI-
NFPA Standard #96, Vapor Removal from Cooking
Equipment, (latest edition) available from the
National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ASSEMBLY
The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping when
installed in order to avoid the splashing of hot liquid.
The means of restraint may be the manner of
installation, such as connection to a battery of
appliances or installing the fryer in an alcove, or by
separate means, such as adequate ties.
Legs
Position fryer in an open space near the final
installation area. Tilt fryer on its side, being careful to
avoid scratching the finish. Thread legs into mounting
holes provided on bottom of fryer by screwing in a
clockwise rotation until tight.
Carefully raise fryer to its normal position and place
it in installing location.
Casters (Optional)
It is recommended that casters be installed on all
batteried appliances.
If the fryer is equipped with casters the gas connector
(available from Vulcan-Hart) must comply with the
Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas
Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition), and a
quick-disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With
Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition).
Provide a gas line strain relief (Fig. 1) to limit
movement of the fryer without depending on the
connector and/or any quick-disconnect device or its
associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off
the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect the
restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning
the unit to its installation position.
Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are
included with the casters.
