6. Push power switch to ON and turn temperature controller or thermostat to desired frying

temperature.

ADDING SOLID SHORTENING TO THE FRYER

Only fryers equipped with the MELT cycle may use solid shortening. Melting solid shortening without

using the MELT cycle will damage the fry tank and scorch the shortening. Tank warranty may be voided

by improper operation.

Models VF1/VMF1 and VF1D/VMF1D

1. Push power switch to OFF and allow fryer to cool.

2. Remove fryer baskets.

3. Leave the heating elements in the tank.

4. Place 30-35 pounds of solid block shortening in the fryer tank on top of the heating elements.

5. Follow melt cycle operation.

Models VF2/VMF2 and VF2D/VMF2D

1. Remove fry basket and rack support.

2. Place 78-82 pounds of solid block shortening in the fryer tank and pack around the heating

elements.

3. Place basket rack support on top of shortening.

4. Follow melt cycle operation.

Melt Cycle Operation

1. Set the temperature controller knob to frying temperature.

2. Push power switch to ON.

3. Push Fry/Melt Switch to MELT. The elements will cycle on for 2 seconds and off for 28 seconds

until the shortening melts and reaches a temperature of 135°F. The temperature controller will

bring the shortening to the frying temperature.

4. Place Fry/Melt Switch in the FRY position when ready to fry.

— 8 —

FRYING

Place the ON-OFF switch to the ON position. The red ON indicator light will come on.

Turn thermostat or temperature controller to desired temperature. The amber HEAT indicator light will

come on.

When the shortening temperature reaches the set temperature, the amber HEAT light will go off. The

heating elements (and the amber HEAT light) will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

Pieces of product to be fried should be about the same size to ensure uniform doneness.

Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into the hot oil.

Fill frying baskets half full. Do not overfill baskets.

Carefully lower baskets into oil.

When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake basket several times in a way that does not splatter

the shortening.

Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use

the basket, first dip basket into the shortening to reduce batter build-up on basket surfaces.

When frying is completed, remove baskets or product. Hang baskets to drain on rear basket hangers.

Remove food and season it. Do not salt food over the shortening because salt will cause a chemical

change in the oil.

Add fresh shortening as needed. Shortening should be between 1 and 2 inches above the heating

elements.

TURNING THE FRYER OFF

To turn the fryer OFF, place the ON-OFF switch to the OFF position.

Extended Shutdown

Place ON-OFF switch to OFF. Turn thermostat knob to OFF. Apply a thin film of cooking oil to tank

interior and tank back to inhibit rust.

HIGH LIMIT CONTROL

If the shortening becomes overheated, or if the heating elements are not covered with shortening, the

high limit control will shut down the entire control system and the fryer will be inoperable.

If the heating elements are not covered with shortening, add shortening until the level is 1 or 2 inches

above the top of the heating elements. When the temperature of the shortening returns to normal

(300°F), manually reset the circuit breakers (located behind the fryer door on floor model fryers and

behind the lower panel on countertop models.

If the high limit control continues to shut the fryer down, contact your authorized Vulcan servicer.

DAILY FILTERING

Shortening life will be extended by filtering at least once a day, or more often if conditions warrant.

Models VF2/VMF2 and VF2D/VMF2D are equipped with a 1/4turn ball type drain valve. Models VF1/

VMF1 and VF1D/VMF1D have a removable fry tank that can be lifted out by raising the heating

elements out of the tank, or the shortening can be syphoned out as follows:

Models VF1/VF1D

Turn the fryer off and allow shortening to cool. Place the syphon assembly (Fig. 5) so that the short

tube rests on the bottom of the tank and the long tube projects down through the hole in the grease

trough. Tie the filter bag to the end of the long tube. Provide a metal container of sufficient capacity

at the end of the long tube inside the storage compartment.

To start the syphoning action, push the stopper in the bowl closed. Fill the bowl with clean liquid

shortening. Pull the stopper to allow shortening to start draining. Push the stopper closed before all

the shortening is drained from the bowl. To stop draining, pull the stopper and empty the bowl

completely.

Fig. 5

Models VMF1/VMF1D

Turn the fryer off and allow shortening to cool. Place the syphon assembly (see Fig. 5) so that the short

end rests on the bottom of the tank and the long tube projects down in front of the fryer. Tie the filter

bag to the end of the long tube. Provide a metal container of sufficient capacity at the end of the long

tube.

To start the syphoning action, push the stopper in the bowl closed. Fill bowl with clean liquid

shortening. Pull stopper to allow shortening to start draining. Push stopper closed before all the

shortening is drained from the bowl. To stop draining, pull stopper and empty the bowl completely.

PL-40541

— 10 —

Models VF2/VMF2 and VF2D/VMF2D

1. Turn the fryer off and allow shortening to cool.

2. Slowly remove the baskets to prevent splashing.

3. Open the fryer door and place a metal container of sufficient capacity below the drain pipe.

4. If a filter bag is used, tie it securely to the drain pipe. If other filter medium is used, place it in the

metal container.

5. Open the drain valve carefully so the oil stream is directed through the filter.

6. With a small amount of warm shortening, flush out scraps and sediment in the fry tank. Drain the

tank thoroughly and wipe clean.

7. If it is necessary to clean the tank more thoroughly, follow the procedures shown in CLEANING —

WEEKLY OR AS REQUIRED in this manual.

8. Close the drain valve.

9. Return strained shortening to the fry tank.

10. Add shortening until the level is between 1 and 2 inches above the heating elements.

CLEANING

Daily

Clean the exterior of your fryer regularly with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. 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. A self-soaping scouring pad may be used for

particularly stubborn discolorations. Always rub with the "GRAIN" in a horizontal direction.

Keeping the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease will prevent stubborn stains from

forming. Wash all exterior surfaces at least once daily. Use a cloth with warm water and a mild soap

or detergent. Follow with a clear rinse, then dry.

Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be

minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin, oily or waxy film. To use these cleaners, simply

wipe on and remove excess with a soft dry cloth. After using, subsequent fingerprints will usually

disappear when wiped lightly with a soft dry cloth or with a cloth containing a little of the cleaner.

If the surface is heavily soiled to start with, wash first with soap or detergent and water.

Weekly or as Required

1. Once the shortening has been drained, flush out scraps and sediment with a small amount of warm

shortening. Allow the tank to drain thoroughly.
