Before any food preparation, thoroughly wash the protective oil from all surface parts and
the tank interior with hot soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.
Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.
Wash any accessories shipped with unit.
Rinse fryer and accessories thoroughly and drain the fryer.
Wipe tank completely dry with a soft, clean cloth.
FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING
Close the drain valve.
Fill the fryer tank with shortening. Vulcan recommends using liquid shortening.
Shortening level should be between the MIN and MAX lines in the fryer tank.
Shortening will expand when heated. Do not fill the fryer tank past the MAX line.
Press the melt switch to liquid or solid shortening.
Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.
Solid Shortening: Do not set a complete block of solid shortening on top of an
electric fryer’s heating elements. Doing this may damage the elements and increase
the potential for shortening flash fire. If solid shortening is to be used in an electric
fryer, remove the baskets and crumb screen (s), and raise the elements from the
tank. Pack the bottom of the tank completely with solid shortening, lower the
elements and then pack the shortening completely around and over top of the
elements. Lay basket rack(s) in the tank on top of the packed shortening. Follow
the melt instructions in this manual. Once all shortening has been melted and the
fryer has met the set temperature, fill baskets and resume frying.
BASIC FRYING INSTRUCTION
Set the desired temperature and allow shortening to heat up to that temperature.
Fry items that are the same size to ensure equal doneness.
Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into hot
shortening.
Add fresh shortening as needed.
