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

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 quick­disconnect 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 1/2 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 1/2 psig (3.45 k Pa).

REFER TO KFC CONFIDENTIAL OPERATION MANUAL.

BLOWER MOTOR

CCFD-2C-KFC series fryers are equipped with a factory
installed blower motor. Proper operation of the blower
motor is vital to the fryer performance. The blower motor

is the main source of air flow servicing the burner ignition
system.

DOOR SWTICH

Each CCFD-2C-KFC fryer is equipped with a door safety
switch that will automatically shut the unit down when the
fryer door is opened. However, operating and service
personnel should NOT rely on door switch to shut unit
down while working inside the door panel control area.

WARNING: Do not rely on door switch to shut unit power
down. Push fryer power switch to "OFF" before entering
the inside door panel control area for filtering or servicing.
By-passing the fryer door switch should be done by
service personnel only. (See Detail F).
