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.
