Keating Of Chicago 2006 Warranty Repairs, Preventive Maintenance, Qualified Service PER

MAINTENANCE

WARRANTY REPAIRS

Keating’s warranty begins with the date of installation (or ship date if we are not notified of an installation date).

In the event that your fryer, under warranty, needs repairs other than routine maintenance or cleaning, you are required to contact Keating of Chicago (at 1-800-KEATING) before calling a local service company. Failure to do so may void your warranty.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance should be done in daily, week- ly, monthly and yearly intervals as necessary. Following preventive maintenance procedures will help keep your fryer working efficiently. Proper care and servicing will lead to years of quality performance.

A. Oil Breakdown

As part of a “Preventive Maintenance Program”, the oil in your fryer needs to be filtered regularly to avoid breakdown. The initial investment in the frying system is less than the total overall costs of oil during the life of the fryer, and with regular filtering, you can realize sub- stantial savings in oil costs, as well as maintenance charges.

B. 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 at the tip of the thermostat bulb.

NOTE: Locate thermometer in same position for every calibration.

4.If calibration of fryer is found to be less than 25°F off, simply loosen the four retaining screws holding the dial plate in place. Reset the dial plate to match the thermometer reading. If the fryer is found to be more than 25°F off, a qualified service company must be contacted to have the fryer properly calibrated.

Do NOT adjust set screw on thermostat.

C. Thermostat Bulb Positioning

BEFORE REPLACING, TEST THERMOSTATS:

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 burn- er tube.

2. For gas fryers 18" & up:

•If the bulb is too loose, the paper will slip through with little or no resistance. A fryer with a thermo- stat 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.
