INSTALLATION

Before installing the fryer, verify that the electrical requirements agree with the specifications on the fryer data plate, which is located on the inside of the door panel.

Record your fryer model, device, and serial numbers for future reference in the space provided below. This information can be found on the fryer data plate.

Fryer Model No: ___________________________

Device: ___________________________________

Serial No: ________________________________

CODES AND STANDARDS

The fryer must be installed in accordance with:

In the United States:

State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with:

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained

from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA. 02169-7471.

In Canada:

Local codes

CSA C22.1 Canadian Electric Code L4W 5N6.

ASSEMBLY

The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties.

Fryers with Casters: (Optional)

Separate instructions for installing casters are included with the casters:

The restraining device should be attached to the cutout on the back panel. See illustration for location.

6

Australia, use only the caster supplied by the manufacturer for the fryer

device. The fryer must be installed using a hose assembly restraining device to limit the movement of the appliance in accordance with AS1869.

The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Vulcan) complying with the above codes.

The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector. See illustration.

The fryer must be installed with the casters provided.

If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, turn off electric supply to the fryer.

If the fryer is installed on casters without a supply cord it must be hard wired using flexible conduit when making connection to the power supply.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Electrical and Grounding connections must comply with the National Electrical Code and/or other local codes.

Disconnect the electrical power supply to the machine and follow lockout / tag out procedures.

Appliances equipped with a 120V flexible electric supply cord are provided with a threeprong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For 480 volt fryers a separate cord and NEMA 15-5P plug is required (not supplied with the fryer). Plug in the wire connection into an approved outlet.

7

Place fryer as near to its final position as possible. Connect 3 phase line to X, Y and Z on terminal block. To reach terminal block, remove electric cover plate from fryer.

For each 15½” (39 cm) and 21” (53 cm) section, a 3 phase suppl the required KW at the fryer’s rated voltage (208, 240, an fryer data plate for this electrical information.

To shield electric connection supply wiring, a permanently connected or direct wired device must be installed using flexible conduit sleeve with the appropriate connectors.

LEVELING THE FRYER

Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after electrical connections have been made.

Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.

If using casters, lock the wheels after unit is level.

OPERATION

Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the fryer.

Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move fryer without draining all frying compound from the tank.

OVER-TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN

If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature shutoff device will turn the heating elements off shutting down the fryer.

If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, do not turn fryer on until the shortening temperature is below 300°F (149°C).

If an overheating situation persists, contact your local Vulcan-Hart authorized service office.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Cleaning

New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the manufacturing process.

8

Before any food preparation, thoroughly wash the protective oil from all surface parts and the tank interior with hot soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.

Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.

Wash any accessories shipped with unit.

Rinse fryer and accessories thoroughly and drain the fryer.

Wipe tank completely dry with a soft, clean cloth.

FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING

Close the drain valve.

Fill the fryer tank with shortening. Vulcan recommends using liquid shortening.

Shortening level should be between the MIN and MAX lines in the fryer tank.

Shortening will expand when heated. Do not fill the fryer tank past the MAX line.

Press the melt switch to liquid or solid shortening.

Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.

Solid Shortening: Do not set a complete block of solid shortening on top of an electric fryer’s heating elements. Doing thisnd increasemay dama the potential for shortening flash fire. If solid shortening is to be used in an electric

fryer, remove the baskets and crumb screen (s), and raise the elements from the tank. Pack the bottom of the tank completely with solid shortening, lower the elements and then pack the shortening completely around and over top of the elements. Lay basket rack(s) in the tank on top of the packed shortening. Follow the melt instructions in this manual. Once all shortening has been melted and the fryer has met the set temperature, fill baskets and resume frying.

BASIC FRYING INSTRUCTION

Set the desired temperature and allow shortening to heat up to that temperature.

Fry items that are the same size to ensure equal doneness.

Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into hot shortening.

Add fresh shortening as needed.

9

Fry Basket Guidelines

Do not overfill baskets. (See fry basket capacity below) Carefully lower basket into oil.

When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.

When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times.

Batter covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use the basket, first dip the basket into the shortening to

reduce batter-build up on basket surfaces.

When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear hanger.

Fry Basket Capacity:

ER50: Recommended pounds per basket are 2.5 lbs. (1.1 kg).

ER85: Recommended pounds per basket are 3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg).

EXTENDING SHORTENING LIFE

Shortening life can be extended by the following guidelines:

Do not salt foods over the fryer.

Use good-quality shortening.

Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).

Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.

Keep equipment and surrounding clean.

Set thermostat correctly.

Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing on fryer.

TURNING ON THE FRYER

Open the door to the fryer. Turn the power switch to the on position.

Set temperature by turning the knob to the desired temperatures. The heating elements will begin to heat automatically.

The heating elements will cycle on and off, maintaining the set temperature.

Daily

Clean your fryer regularly with the tank brush along with a damp cloth, and polish with a soft dry cloth. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.

Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin oily or waxy film.

Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at least once daily.

Use a damp cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.

Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.

Rinse thoroughly, and then polish with a soft dry cloth.

Keep the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease to prevent stubborn stains from forming. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.

Remove discolorations by washing with any detergent or soap and water.

Use a self-soaping, non-metallic scouring pad for particularly stubborn discolorations.

Always rub with the grain of the stainless steel.

Do not use a metallic scoring pad or harsh cleaners.
