INSTALLATION

The installer is responsible for attaching the tipping restraint.

The Keating IFM, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSAC-22.2 as applicable. A wiring diagram is located on the last page. In the U.S.A. and Canada, the electrical supply must be 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

The Keating Incredible Frying Machine (IFM) is equipped with a 9' neoprene covered, 3 wire electrical cord with a three-pronged grounded plug for protection against electrical shock. This plug must be placed into a 120V properly grounded three-pronged polarized outlet. For proper grounding procedures see local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) or Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2 (latest edition) as applicable.

Before plugging in the fryer, confirm the outlet is properly polarized and grounded. If the hot and neutral terminals are reversed or the outlet is not properly grounded, the burners may not ignite (burner on light will go out after 2-1/2 seconds and the ignition processes will continue 3 times).

THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED

WITH A THREE-PRONG 120

IF DISCONNECTION OF THE RESTRAINT IS NECESSARY, IT MUST BE RECONNECTED WHEN THE FRYER IS RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED POSITION.

GAS CONNECTION

•PIPE JOINT COMPOUNDS RESISTANT TO PROPANE GASES MUST BE USED.

•BEFORE OPERATING THIS FRYER, CHECK PIPE JOINTS FOR LEAKS BY USING A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION ONLY. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME!

Main Gas Connection

Connect the fryer to the main gas supply line at the rear of the fryer. The piping should be a minimum of 3/4" NPT supply pipe for a single fryer at the burner mani- fold. Batteries require larger supply lines. Installation must conform to the current local codes and National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54 (latest edition), Natural Gas Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1 or Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.2 (latest edition).

NOTE: If more than one gas fryer is on the same supply 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 requirements 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.

NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the fryer is located on the inside of the fryer door or in the back of this manual.

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. (NEVER check with an open flame!)
