HIGH LIMIT DEVICE
A high limit device will shut the fryer down if the oil overheats.
DO NOT
relight pilot until oil temperature
has lowered to at least 350°F (176°C). If the situation persists, contact your local Vulcan-Hart
authorized servicer.
DAILY FILTERING
Turn the gas valve off when draining or filling the fryer.
Allow frying compound to cool before draining or filling.
If you have used melted solid frying compound, always filter the frying compound when the cold zone
area under the tubes is hot and liquefied. A cold fryer heated up will not drain properly because the frying
compound under the cold zone tube area will remain solid. If necessary, the drain stick may be used
to carefully stir up solid frying compound to an area above the tubes where it will melt. After the cold
zone is liquefied, turn the fryer thermostat and gas valve OFF.
Open the filter bag and slip it over the end of the drain valve nipple. Tie it securely in place behind the
ring on the drain valve nipple so it won't slide off. Place receptacle under the bag and carefully open
the drain valve.
When the fry tank is empty, flush out scraps and sediment in the fry tank with a small amount of warm
oil. Allow fry tank to drain thoroughly.
Remove filter bag, dispose of crumbs, and wash filter bag.
If it is necessary to clean the fry tank more thoroughly, follow the procedures shown in CLEANING —
WEEKLY OR AS REQUIRED.
Close drain valve and pour filtered frying compound back into fry tank.
