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")
