OPERATION
WARNING:
HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING,
CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.
WARNING:
SPILLING HOT OIL CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT MOVE FRYER
WITHOUT DRAINING ALL OIL FROM THE TANK.
Tank warranty may be voided by improper operation. Turn gas valve off when draining or filling.
FILL FRY TANK WITH LIQUID SHORTENING
CAUTION: Before turning the burners on, the fry tank
must be filled with liquid shortening. If this is not
done, the tank walls can be damaged. Warpage can
cause leaks.
Use only liquid shortening. Fill fry tank to the "oil level" line on
the back wall (Fig. 2).
DO NOT melt solid shortening in the fry tank.
The fry tank
will be damaged and the shortening will be scorched.
Do not overfill tank.
Keep shortening between the MIN and MAX lines in fry tank.
Add fresh shortening as needed.
OVER TEMPERATURE DEVICE
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off
and extinguish the pilot. DO NOT relight the pilot until the shortening temperature is below 300°F
(149°C). If this situation persists, contact your local Vulcan-Hart authorized service office.
