IMPORTANT
This merchandise has been thoroughly inspected and
carefully packed before leaving our plant. Responsibil-
ity for its safe delivery was assumed by the carrier at
the time of shipment. Claims for loss or damage to the
contents should, therefore, be made upon the carrier,
as follows:
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage
which does not become apparent until the merchan-
dise has been unpacked. The contents may be dam-
aged in transit due to rough handling even though the
carton may not show external damage. When the dam-
age is discovered upon unpacking, make a written
request for inspection by the carrier’s agent within fif-
teen days of the delivery date. Then file a claim with the
carrier since such damage is the carrier’s responsibili-
ty. By following these instructions carefully, we guaran-
tee our full support of your claims to protect you against
loss from concealed damage.
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be
noted on the freight bill or express receipt, and signed
by the carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe
such external evidence of loss or damage may result in
the carrier refusing to honor a damage claim. The form
required to file such a claim will be supplied by the car-
rier.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE
TO KEATING. FILE YOUR CLAIM AS ABOVE.

SUITABLE FOR COMBUSTIBLE FLOORS VENTI-
LATION
The Keating Gas Fryer must be installed in an area
providing adequate air supply and ventilation. Do not
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Proper ventilation is one of the important considera-
tions for efficient operation of the Keating Gas Fryer. It
should be installed so that the products of combustion
are removed efficiently without producing drafts that
will interfere with proper burner operation. The intake
for the exhaust fan should not be placed close to the
flue of the Keating Gas Fryer to insure proper air flow
necessary for combustion. The area around the front
and bottom of the Keating Gas Fryer must be kept
clear and unobstructed. In the U.S.A. the ventilation
systems must conform to the ANSI/NFPA96 latest edi-
tion. “A minimum of 18" (457mm) should be maintained
between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the
grease filters.” Must be installed at least 16" away from
any open flame. It is the responsibility of the owner and
the local installer to comply with national and local
codes.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENT
The installation must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
code, ANSI Z223.1 or the Natural gas Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation
Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2. Flexible connectors must
comply to ANSI Z221.69/CAN/CGA1.16. Keating
equipment is designed and manufactured to operate
