FILLING
NOTE: Before filling the fryer make certain the fryer
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is
completely closed.
NOTE: Solid shortening can not be used in a Keating
Model AA Gas Fryer. If solid shortening is used, it
should be melted prior to filling the fryer vessel.
Damage done by melting solid shortening in the fryer
vessel will void the warranty.
Oil expands when heated. The “Max” line has been
provided to ensure optimum cooking while ensuring
the safety of the operator. Do not overfill the fryer
vessel.
Max Line
Fill the fryer vessel with oil or MELTED solid shortening
up to the “Max” line.
BE SURE THE HEAT TRANSFER TUBES ARE
COMPLETELY COVERED WITH OIL BEFORE
SWITCHING THE FRYER ON. IF OIL LEVEL DROPS
BELOW TOP OF HEAT TRANSFER TUBES, SEVERE
DAMAGE TO FRYER AND INJURY TO OPERATOR
MAY RESULT.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

cannot be operated during a power failure.
