INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND CARE OF

VF SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS

KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GENERAL

Vulcan-Hart  fryers are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and
maintenance of your fryer 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.

Standard features include stainless steel fry tank and front, a high limit device, twin baskets, and a
lift-out fry tank which is easily removed for cleaning.

The VF1 and VF1D floor model fryers are equipped with 6" (15 cm) adjustable legs. The fryers may be
ordered without legs for installation on a masonry base. As an optional extra, the fryers can be supplied
with a 4" (10 cm) toe base instead of legs.

Optional features include extra fry tanks, a large, single basket supplied in place of twin baskets, siphon
and strainer bags, casters (floor models only), stainless steel fry tank cover, and extra sets of twin or
single baskets. Stainless steel side(s) and back are also available as options.
