GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS INTRODUCTION GENERAL Vulcan Fryers are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance will result in years of satisfactory performance. Before installing the fryer, thoroughly read this manual and carefully follow all instruction. This manual is applicable to model listed on the cover page. Procedures in this manual will apply to all models unless specified.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS INSTALLATION Do not use the door or its handle to lift the fryer. Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the fryer data plate, which is located on the inside of the door panel. Make sure the fryer is configured for the proper elevation. Record your fryer model, device, and serial numbers for future reference in the space provided below. This information can be found on the fryer data plate.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS CODES AND STANDARDS The fryer must be installed in accordance with: In the United States: State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with: National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards Committee Z223, @ 400 N. Capital St. NW, Washington, DC 20001 or the Secretary Standards Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 021697471.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS FLUE CONNECTION Make the flue connection as follows: Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6” (15 cm) beyond fryer on both sides. Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion byproducts to be removed efficiently.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air. GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS): The gas pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.75 kPa) for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator must be installed. TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM: When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS In Australia, use only the caster supplied by the manufacturer for the fryer device. The fryer must be installed using a hose assembly restraining device to limit the movement of the appliance in accordance with AS1869. The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Vulcan) complying with the above codes. The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector. See illustration.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS BEFORE FIRST USE Cleaning New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the manufacturing process. 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.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS 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. Fry Basket Guidelines Do not overfill baskets. (See table for recommended basket capacities below) Carefully lower basket into oil.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS TURNING ON THE FRYER Open the door to the fryer. Turn the power switch to the on position. Set temperature by turning the knob to the desired temperatures. The burners will light automatically. The burners will cycle on and off, maintaining the set temperature. EXTENDED SHUTDOWN 1. Thoroughly drain the fryer. Refer to DRAINING THE FRYER. 2. Clean the fryer according to CLEANING. 3. Turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS DRAINING THE TANK 1. Turn off fryer. 2. Insert the drain extension into the drain valve. Tighten only hand tight. 3. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into. 4. Open the drain valve. The oil will drain into the container. When the container is full or the fryer tank is empty, close the drain valve. Repeat this step until the fryer is empty. Remove the drain extension and place it back into the provided holder. 5.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS 7. Press the TEMP button again and the gas burners will heat the solution. Bring the solution to a simmer only. Allow to stand for a few minutes. 8. Turn OFF the power to the fryer. Drain the tank according to DRAINING THE TANK. Rinse thoroughly with clear, hot water. All traces of cleaner must be removed. Dry the tank thoroughly. 9. Close the drain valve and add shortening. Follow the FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING procedure in this manual. The fryer is now ready for use.

GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS Filtering Instructions for KleenScreen PLUS® Fryers General The KleenScreen PLUS® filtration system filters the oil as it is pumped back into its’ respective tank(s). Only one tank can be drained and filtered at a time. Under no circumstances should both tanks be drained at the same time. Assembly After unpacking, wash the filter pan, crumb basket and filter screen assembly. Make sure you remove the insert located inside the filter screen.

GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS INSTRUCTIONS TO REMOVE & REPLACE KLEENSCREEN PLUS® FILTER ENVELOPE FOR ABSOLUTE FILTRATION & MAXIMUM FLOW RATE WE RECOMMEND YOU CHANGE YOUR FILTER ENVELOPES AT EVERY OIL CHANGE (10-14 DAYS DEPENDING ON OIL USAGE). Step 1 Discard all oil from the filter vessel, (see pages 23 or 24). When the filter pan is empty, use a spatula and scrape off all debris left on the filter envelope and in the filter pan.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS Operation Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the fryer. Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move fryer without draining all frying compound from the tank. Never run water or boil out solution through filter and motor / pump. Doing so will void your fryer warranty. FILTERING PROCEDURE Oil Temperature should be 300-350° F.

GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS FILTERING TIP: Open the filtering drawer approximately 1” to allow any oil in the return line to run back into the filter pan. This will take about 30 seconds to complete. Then open the drawer completely to clean filter components. REMOVING EXCESS DEBRIS FROM THE SCREEN FILTER: 1. Pull the filter drawer out and remove the crumb basket and empty any debris into the trash. 2. Remove the filter screen assembly. Scrape debris from the filter screen.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS BOIL OUT PROCEDURE: Use the Boil Out By-Pass™ drain extension allowing the boil out solution to exit the fry tank without using the filtering system. Do not allow water to run through the motor / pump. Drain the boil out solution into a bucket or place a hose on the end of the drain extension allowing the other end to flow into a floor drain. In Fig. 6 the arrow is pointing to the drain extension. It is threaded into the top coupling of the oil drain tube.
GRDF / GRCF SERIES GAS FRYERS MAINTENANCE Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning, and servicing the fryer. Spilling hot fryer compound can cause severe burns. Do not move fryer without draining all frying compound from the tank. FLUE VENT INSPECTION When the fryer is cool, inspect annually. Check the flue and clear any obstructions.
