Before installing the fryer, verify that the electrical
service agrees with the specifications on the fryer
data plate which is located on the inside of the door
panel. If the supply and equipment requirements do
not agree, contact your dealer or Vulcan-Hart
immediately.

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 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING

CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL CODES.

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

Bring conduit containing the proper supply wire (size and
type in accordance with latest edition of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA-70) to the fryer through the
knockout located at the rear of the fryer (Fig. 1).

The wiring compartment is located behind the door.
Remove 4 screws and remove the wiring compartment
cover (Fig. 2). Make electrical connections (Fig. 3).

The wiring diagram is located on the reverse side of the
supply control box compartment cover.

Fryers with built-in filtration systems require a 120V, 15
Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical service. This is in
addition to the fryer's main electrical service. The junction
box, switch and outlet are supplied. Line cord to connect
to 120V, 15 Amp, single-phase, 60 Hz electrical service is
not supplied.

Before applying power to the fryer, ensure that the power
switch(es) marked OFF/ON are in the OFF position. Do
not connect power lines to the fryer with power applied to
them.

Connecting the fryer with the incorrect power supply may
cause damage to the fryer and void the fryer warranty.

Replace supply control box compartment cover.
