HI-LIMIT CHECK BI-MONTHLY

Place an accurate thermometer in the oil. If the Hi-Limit Control doesn’t shut off the fryer between 425°F and 450°F, have it replaced.

THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION

You will need:

One screwdriver with 1/8" wide flat blade

One accurate fryer thermometer

1.Set thermostat to desired frying temperature.

2.Allow fryer to cycle three times.

3.Place an accurate thermometer in the oil.

Thermostat calibration

NOTE: Locate thermometer in same position for every calibration. Left front corner of fryer vessel at the High Limit Bulb is recommended.

4.If temperature of fryer is found to be more or less than 15°F off, remove the thermostat knob. There are (4) screws holding the dial plate in place. Loosen the screws and reset the dial plate to match the thermometer reading.

BEFORE REPLACING, TEST THERMOSTATS

These operational problems can easily be corrected by thermostat bulb positioning.

Keating’s patented thermostat application is accurate within 2°F of the dial setting between 250°F – 350°F. This accuracy is attained only if the thermostat bulb is placed properly against the heat transfer tube. To quickly and accurately test for proper bulb placement, a single thickness of writing paper should be pulled through between the tube and the bulb with medium resistance.*

1. *For gas fryers 14":

￿The end of thermostat bulb should touch the burner tube.

2. For gas fryers 10×11, 18" & larger:

￿If the bulb is too loose, the paper will slip through with little or no resistance. A fryer with a thermostat bulb that is too loose will overshoot.

Overshoot: The thermostat takes a long time to cycle and then misses its preset temperature by 20°F - 40°F yielding a poor quality product.

￿If the bulb is too tight, the paper will either not pull through or it will tear. A fryer with a thermostat bulb that is too tight will short cycle.

Short Cycle: The thermostat will cycle rapidly while the fryer is in the idle mode; the temperature will be erratic.
