GAS FRYER - SERIES PRE-2000
In-line pressure regulators are not supplied by Keat-
ing. They are to be provided and installed by others as
directed by local codes.
NOTE:
If more than one gas fryer is on the same sup-
ply line, you may require a larger line. Consult your
local gas company to assure adequate volume and
pressure. Refer to serial plate for proper gas require-
ments for your particular model.
NOTE:
Piping for a battery should be at least 1-1/4"
to 1-1/2" IPS, depending on total BTU input. Consult
your local gas supplier for appropriate battery piping
size.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Prior to lighting your fryer:
1. Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn main On/Off manual gas valve to the “ON”
position.
3. Have your plumber or gas company check for
leaks with a soap solution or sniffer.
(NEVER check with an open fl ame!)
4. Have your plumber or gas company
representative light the constant pilot.
(Not necessary if your fryer has a spark ignitor.)
GAS PRESSURE AT MANIFOLD
NATURAL Gas - 3.0 in. W.C.
LP Gas - 10.0 in. W.C.
MINIMUM INCOMING GAS PRESSURE
NATURAL Gas - 7.0 in. W.C.
LP Gas - 11.0 in. W.C.
NOTE:
It is estimated that half of all service calls
made on Keating Instant Recovery® Fryer result from
an inadequate gas supply. During installation, have
a gas company representative make certain that the
fryer is receiving adequate gas pressure and volume
(see “Installation” or your serial plate on the fryer
door).
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS ODOR
AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ASSURE
THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH YOU DO
NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT,
YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL PROPANE GAS
SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
OPERATING
FILLING
NOTE:
Before fi lling the fryer make certain the fryer
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is com-
pletely closed. Refer to Figure 6 on page 8 for location
of drain valve.
NOTE:
We recommend that solid shortening not be
used in AA and CMG Model fryers as they are not
equipped with a melt cycle. If solid shortening is used,
it should be melted prior to fi lling the fryer vessel.
Damage done by melting solid shortening in the fryer
vessel will void the warranty.
BE SURE THE HEAT TRANSFER TUBES ARE COM-
PLETELY COVERED WITH OIL BEFORE SWITCHING
THE FRYER ON. IF OIL LEVEL DROPS BELOW TOP
OF HEAT TRANSFER TUBES, SEVERE DAMAGE TO
FRYER AND INJURY TO OPERATOR MAY RESULT.
WATER IN ANY FORM AND HOT OIL DON'T MIX!
OIL EXPANDS WHEN HEATED. THE FILL LEVEL LINE
HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO ENSURE OPTIMUM COOK-
ING WHILE ENSURING THE SAFETY OF THE OPERA-
TOR. DO NOT OVERFILL THE FRYER VESSEL.
A. AA and CMG Models
1. Fill the fryer vessel with oil or MELTED solid
shortening up to the “Fill Level” line.
B. BB, TS, CPU and Basket-Lift Models
1. Fill the fryer vessel with oil up to “Fill Level” line.
(See Figure 3).
2. If solid shortening is used, remove screen and
fi rmly pack solid shortening between the heat
transfer tubes. After this has been done and the
fryer has been lit, proceed to melting instructions
(Page 6) for use of the melt cycle.
LIGHTING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT THE FRYER, MAKE
SURE THE GAS CONNECTIONS ARE SECURE AND
HAVE BEEN LEAK TESTED AND THE FRYER HAS
BEEN PROPERLY FILLED WITH OIL.
