FLEXIBLE GAS CONNECTORS AND QUICK

DISCONNECT DEVICES

For an appliance equipped with casters:

The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or the Standard for Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick- Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CAN1-6.9.

RESTRAINING DEVICES

1.) Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.

Fryer must also be restrained to prevent tipping when installed so that hot liquid splashing is avoided.

2.) The restraint means must be attached to the rear of the Keating Gas Fryer within 2" of the center line width and approximately 1-5/8" from the bottom of the cabinet back to allow the restraining bolt to be anchored to the cabinet back between the cabinet bottom and inner liner.

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

INSTALLATION

The installer is responsible for attaching the tipping restraint. See page 3 for drop-in installation.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The Keating Gas Fryer, 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 or on the inside of the door. In the U.S.A. and Canada, the electrical supply must be 120 VAC, 60 Hz.

LEVELING

The Keating Gas Fryer will operate at its highest efficiency 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 increase height, or clockwise to decrease height until level. For fryers with casters, the casters are adjustable by loosening the jam nut and turning the caster in or out. When the desired level is reached, tighten the jam nut. Adjustments of more than 3/4" cannot occur with any caster. The same procedure should be followed to level the fryer from front to back.
