IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL VULCAN APPLIANCES
1. These units are produced with the best possible workmanship and material. Proper installation is vital if best
performance and appearance are to be achieved. Installer must follow the installation instructions carefully.
2. Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from the "Standard for the
installation of equipment for the removal of smoke and grease laden vapors from commercial cooking equipment,"
NFPA No. 96 (latest edition) available from the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy MA
02269.
3. For an appliance equipped with a flexible electric supply cord, the cord is equipped with a three prong (grounding)
plug. This grounding plug is for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. If the appliance is not
equipped with a grounding plug, and electric supply is needed, ground the appliance by using the ground lug
provided (refer to the wiring diagram).
(FOR GAS APPLIANCES ONLY)
4. Do not obstruct the air flow into and around the appliance. This air flow is necessary for proper combustion of gases
and for ventilation of the appliance. Provisions for ventilation of incoming air supply for the equipment in the room
must be in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
5. Do not obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue duct (when so equipped) located on the rear (or sides) of the
appliance. It is recommended that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation
system installed by qualified personnel.
6. For an appliance equipped with casters, (1) the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 (latest edition), and Addenda, Z21.69a (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), and Addenda, Z21.41 a (latest edition) and Z21.41 b (latest edition), and (2)
adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and
the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, reconnect this restraint after the appliance has been returned to its
originally installed position.
7. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psig (3.45 k Pa).
8. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.45 k Pa).

SECTION 1 INSTALLATION
Place fryer as near to its' final position as possible.
Connect 120V 60 Hertz electric supply to fryer
barrier strip. Barrier strip may be connected from
rear of unit. To reach barrier, remove electric cover
plate "A" from unit. After connecting 120V 60 Hertz
electric supply to fryer barrier strip, verify with a
voltmeter that the following condition exists. (SEE
For each 151/2" section a high voltage line capable
of handling 16 KW at the unit's rated voltage (208,
240, 480) is required. If a fan interlock is needed, it
should be connected to 1 and 2 on the terminal
block. 1 and 2 go to a set of dry contacts on the
power switch.
1. Black to white 120V 60 Hertz.
2. Black to ground 120V 60 Hertz.
3. White to ground 0.00V 60 Hertz.
DETAILS A & B)
NOTE: Remove lower back panel from unit and
check to see that harness cable "A" is fastened
securely to the temperature controller box "B". Field
repair of the temperature controller board is not
practical, therefore, when the board malfunctions, it
must be completely replaced. Remove board from
unit by disconnecting cable harness from controller
box and open controller box by removing the (2)
screws that tie into the back of the electric connection
box "C". (See detail "C")

8. Heating elements will heat up in excess of 600
degrees F. glowing Red. If any do not glow, call
Service Agency. Some smoking, crackling sound
and flames will occur. This is normal. If excessive flaming occurs, extinguish immediately
to prevent damage to elements and thermostat
bulbs.
9. Allow elements to cool and press reset button on
rear of element head. (See Detail "E")
10. Brush residue from elements and thermostat
bulbs with a stiff nylon bursh. Care should be

CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
7
1. Place the shortening pyrometer and pyrometer holding
fixture, or the shortening digital and digital holding fixture
in the kettle.
2. Turn on the Master Switch and when coming up from
lower temperature, set temperature control knob to frying
temperature.
3. Allow unit to reach temperature (when heating light
goes out) and maintain it (by cycling) for 15 minutes.
HIGH LIMIT TEST
DEFINITION
A test to determine if the protection devices are properly
functioning.
4. Check the reading on the pyrometer or the digital,
when the heating light first comes on. If the reading is not
within five degrees of the temperature control setting, the
following steps should be taken:
A. Loosen the set screws in the temperature control
knob.
B. Rotate the knob and set the knob to read the
same as the pyrometer or the digital readings.
C. Tighten the set screw.
D. Allow the unit to cycle and check the readings.
E. Should for any reason calibration not be obtained
in this manner, call a Service Agency.
HIGH LIMIT TEST & PROCEDURES
1. Turn the Master Switch on and set the temperature
control knob to frying temperature.
2. Heat shortening until the heating light goes out.
3. Depress the top of the high limit test (Red) switch and
hold until first high limit light comes on, then release
switch. (Light will come on at 410 Degrees F.)
4. Depress the bottom of the high limit test switch and
hold until second high limit light comes on, then release
switch. (Light will come on at 435 Degrees F.)
5. Once the unit cools down, press the reset button on the
rear of element head, normal fryer operation will then
automatically be resumed.
