Combustible Noncombustible Construction Construction Back 6” 0” Right Side 6” 0” Left Side 6” 0” You must install this appliance at least 16 inches away from any open flame.
Installed in accordance with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the current National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas Installation CAN/CGA-B149.1 or Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2 II INSTALLATION This fryer MUST be installed, inspected, calibrated and serviced by qualified and/or certified and/or licensed service personnel – you may void your Keating warranty if installation is not completed per current local, national and Keating specifications.
Counter model and floor model fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid splashing, spilling, etc. of hot liquid. The restraining method may be a manner of installation or by separate means. WARNING IF DISCONNECTION OF THE RESTRAINT IS NECESSARY, IT MUST BE RECONNECTED WHEN THE FRYER IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED POSITION. LEVELING The fryer will operate at its highest efficiency when properly leveled. Place a level on fryer vessel from side to side.
A 3/4” NPT manual gas valve is factory installed with each floor model fryer (for single fryers and batteries), except for 10x11AA – 20AA models which use a 1/2” NPT valve. The required gas pressure for proper operation of each fryer is 4” water column for natural gas and 10” water column for Propane gas at the burner manifold. Remove the allen head test plug on the gas manifold and use a manometer to check the gas pressure. 4. Have your plumber or gas company representative light the constant pilot.
Figure 3-2 CAUTION: Oil expands when heated. The “Fill Level” line has been provided to ensure optimum cooking while ensuring the safety of the operator. Do not overfill the fryer vessel. Rear Drain Operating Handle Figure 3-1 Fill Level Line A. AA and CMG Models 1. Open the main gas supply to unit (usually at rear) by turning handle in-line with gas piping or hose. Also open manual valve (red gas cock) on gas piping inside unit where applicable. 2.
7. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature (325°F - 335°F). USE ONLY KEATING APPROVED BASKETS IN YOUR FRYER. NEVER OVERFILL FRY BASKETS. DO NOT BANG BASKETS ON BASKET HANGERS OR FRYER VESSEL. MELTING CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN LOWERING BASKETS INTO FRYER TO PREVENT SPLASHING HOT OIL FROM FRYER VESSEL. The Keating Melt Cycle safely melts solid shortening in the fryer vessel without scorching. NEVER LIFT BASKETS DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FRYER VESSEL WITHOUT DRAINING AS SEVERE INJURY MAY RESULT.
6. Push “START/STOP” button on timers(s). Basket(s) will automatically lower into fryer vessel. Figure 3-3 Operator in safety gear 7.
