receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. (Model AA has no electric connection).
LEVELING
The Keating Gas Fryer will operate at its highest effi- ciency when properly leveled. Place a level on the fryer from side to side. For fryer on legs, the bottom foot of the leg is adjustable. Turn counterclockwise to decrease height, or clockwise to increase height until level. For fryers with casters, the casters are adjustable by loosening the jam nut and turn the caster in or out. When the desired level is reached, tighten the jam nut. Adjustments of more than 3/4" are not recommended on any caster. The same procedure should be followed to level the fryer from front to back.
PLACING KEATING GAS FRYER IN OPERATION
Never leave your fryer operating unattended.
(When all previous instructions have been completed). Check the serial plate on the panel (inside cabinet) to determine if the burner is set up for the proper type gas before connecting the
a.Maximum incoming gas pressure
NATURAL GAS – 7 inches W.C. with burners on
LP GAS – 11 inches W.C. with burners on
If a popping noise is heard from the fryer during the cooking cycle, the following checks must be made in this order:
b.Fryer manifold gas pressure
NATURAL GAS – 4 inches W.C. with burners on LP – 10 inches W.C. with burners on
ALWAYS disconnect fuel source and power supply before servicing.
NEVER move a fryer when full of oil.
NEVER introduce objects or liquids into fryer, while operational, which are not designed or made for cooking.
THIS FRYER MAY NOT BE ALTERED, MODIFIED OR CHANGED IN ANY WAY.
FILLING
NOTE: Before filling the fryer make certain the fryer vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is completely closed.
NOTE: We recommend that solid shortening not be used in a Keating Gas Fryer if it is not equipped with a melt cycle. If solid shortening is used, it should be melt- ed prior to filling the fryer vessel. Damage done by melting solid shortening in the fryer vessel will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Oil expands when heated. The “Fill Level” line has been provided to ensure optimum cooking while ensur- ing the safety of the operator. Do not overfill the fryer vessel.
Fill Level Line
Fill the fryer vessel with oil or MELTED solid shortening up to the “Fill Level” line.
CAUTION
BE SURE THE HEAT TRANSFER TUBES ARE COM- PLETELY COVERED WITH OIL BEFORE SWITCH- ING THE FRYER ON. IF OIL LEVEL DROPS BELOW TOP OF HEAT TRANSFER TUBES, SEVERE DAM- AGE TO FRYER AND INJURY TO OPERATOR MAY RESULT.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
(See lighting instructions plate attached to the inner door of Keating Gas Fryer.) Model AA does not require an electrical connection.
Make sure that the Keating Gas Fryer is plugged in. If not your fryer will not operate. Make sure that the main gas valve on the gas supply line to the Keating Gas Fryer is in the “ON” position.
