Installation, Operation and Care of
MODELS EF3, EF4 & EF5 ECONOFRY GAS FRYERS
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
GENERAL
Your Vulcan-Hart Gas Fryer is produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation,
usage and maintenance will result in many years of satisfactory performance.
It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions
provided.
INSTALLATION
Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications
on the fryer data plate which is located on the inside of the door. Also be sure the fryer is built for the
installation elevation.
The fryer must be restrained with adequate ties to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid the
splashing of hot liquid.
UNPACKING
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.
Accessories packed in the fry tank include:
Crumb Screen Drain Pipe
Basket Hanger (2) Twin Fry Baskets
(4) Legs
Do not use the door or its handle to lift or move the fryer.

LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. Minimum clearance from
combustible construction is 6" (152.4mm) from the sides and 6" (152.4mm) from the back of the fryer;
minimum clearance from non-combustible construction is 0" from the sides and back of the fryer. There
must be at least 16" (406.4mm) clearance between the fryer and any open top flame units. Adequate
clearances for servicing and proper operation must be allowed.
Install the fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for combustion of the gas at the fryer burners.
Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the fryer. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the
sides or back of the fryer. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209.

ASSEMBLY
Legs
Position fryer in an open space near the final installation area. Tilt fryer back, being careful to avoid
scratching the finish. Thread front legs clockwise into mounting plates provided on the bottom of the
fryer until seated. Tilt to front and thread back legs similarly. Carefully raise fryer to its normal position
and place it in the installing location.
Casters (Optional)
If the fryer is equipped with casters, the gas connector (available from Vulcan-Hart) must comply with
the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (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).
When casters are installed, provide a restraining device for the gas line to limit movement of the fryer
without depending on the connector and/or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit
fryer movement. Attach the restraining device to the rear of the fryer (Fig. 1).
If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect
the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.
Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.
