Vulcan-Hart MGF24 Adding Frying Compound, Turning The Fryer On, Seasonal Shutdown, Cleaning

ADDING FRYING COMPOUND

Fill fry tank to the FULL mark (approximately 30 pounds) with liquid or solid frying compound. Do not overfill. When using solid frying compound, set the thermostat at 200°F and allow compound to liquify, then adjust compound level.

Do not allow frying compound level to drop below the ADD mark. For proper operation of the fryer and good frying results, the frying level should be maintained between the FULL and the ADD marks.

TURNING THE FRYER ON

CAUTION: Before turning the burners on, the fry tank must be filled with liquid frying compound. If this is not done, the tank walls can be damaged. Warpage can cause leaks.

All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turn thermostat control knob to desired temperature to put fryer in operation.

TURNING THE FRYER OFF

Temporary Shutdown

Turn thermostat to OFF position.

Seasonal Shutdown

Turn thermostat to OFF position. Turn gas shutoff valve OFF.

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. If the situation persists, contact your local Vulcan-Hart authorized servicer.

CLEANING

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.

CAUTION: Do not spray with hose or steam cleaner. Doing so will cause extensive damage (not covered under warranty).

Daily

Clean your fryer regularly. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form. These may be removed by washing with any detergent or soap and water. Particularly stubborn discolorations may be removed with a self-soaping scouring pad or a paste made of water and a mild scouring powder applied with a plastic open pad or sponge. Do not use standard steel wool on stainless steel finishes. Pieces of the steel wool will adhere to the stainless steel and cause rusting.
