INSTALLATION
Installation must conform with local codes or, in
absence of local codes, with the current National Fuel
Gas Code Z223.1/NFPA 54(latest edition), Natural Gas
Installation CAN/CGA - B149.1 or Propane Installation
Code CAN/CGA-B149.2. When pressure testing at test
pressures less than or equal to 1/2 psig (3.45 KPA),
fryer must be isolated from gas supply piping. When
pressure testing at test pressures above 1/2 psig (3.45
KPA), fryer must be disconnected from gas supply
piping system.
Counter model and flood model fryers must be
restrained to prevent tipping when installed in order to
avoid splashing, spilling, etc. of hot liquid. The
restraining method may be a manner of installation or
by separate means.
LEVELING
The fryer will operate at its highest efficiency when
properly leveled. Place a level on fryer vessel from side
to side. For fryers on legs, the bottom foot of the leg is
adjustable. Turn counter clockwise to decrease height
or clockwise to increase height until level. For fryers on
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
" are not recommended
on any caster. The same procedure should be followed
to level the fryer from front to back.
Figure 2-1
RESTRAINING
DEVICES
On fryer installations with casters, casters and jam nuts
must be completely tightened. Adequate means must
also be provided to limit the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector, the
quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit
the appliance movement.
Connectors must comply with the current ANSI
Z21.69/CAN 1 CAN/CGA 6.16 (latest edition) standard

Main Gas Connection
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Connect the fryer to the main gas supply line at the rear
of the fryer. The piping should be a minimum of 3/4"
NPT supply pipe for a single fryer at the burner
manifold. Batteries require larger supply lines.
Installation must conform to the current local codes and
National Fuel Gas Code (U.S.) ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54
(latest edition), Natural Gas Installation Code
CAN/CGA-B149.1 or Propane Installation Code
CAN/CGA-B149.2 (latest edition).
NOTE: If more than one gas fryer is on the same supply
line, you may require a larger line. Consult your local gas
company to assure adequate volume and pressure.
Refer to serial plate for proper gas requirements for your
particular model.
NOTE: Piping for a battery should be at least 1-1/4" to
1-1/2" IPS, depending on total BTU input. Consult your
local gas supplier for appropriate battery piping size.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
The Keating Incredible Frying Machine (IFM) is
equipped with a 9' neoprene covered, 3 wire electrical
cord with a three-pronged grounded plug for protection
against electrical shock. This plug must be placed into
a 120V properly grounded three-pronged polarized
outlet. For proper grounding procedures see local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition) or
Canadian Electrical Code CAN 22.2 (latest edition) as
applicable.
CAUTION: Before plugging in the fryer, confirm the
outlet is properly polarized and grounded. If the hot and
neutral terminals are reversed or the outlet is not
properly grounded, the burners may not ignite (burner
on light will go out after 2-1/2 seconds).
NOTE: The electrical wiring diagram for the fryer is
located on the inside of the fryer door.
WARNING
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
GAS LEAK
TESTING
Prior to lighting your fryer:
1. Make sure all thermostats, switches and safety
valves are in the “OFF” position.
2. Turn main On/Off manual gas valve to the “ON”
position.
3. Have your plumber or gas company check for
leaks with a soap solution. (NEVER check with an
open flame!)
Figure 2-4
IFM Control Panel
NOTE: It is estimated that half of all service calls made
on Keating Incredible Frying Machine Gas Fryers (IFM)
result from an inadequate gas supply. During
installation, have a gas company representative make
certain that the fryer is receiving adequate gas
pressure and volume.
WARNING
PROPANE GAS MAY EVENTUALLY LOSE ITS
ODOR AND PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
ASSURE THAT IT IS NOT PRESENT EVEN THOUGH
YOU DO NOT DETECT AN ODOR. IF THERE IS ANY
DOUBT, YOU SHOULD CALL YOUR LOCAL
PROPANE GAS SUPPLIER FOR ASSISTANCE.
CALIBRATION
For Calibration, refer to page 9 – Calibration.
III OPERATING
FILLING
NOTE: Before filling the fryer make certain the fryer
vessel is sanitized, dry and the drain valve is
completely closed. Refer to item 19 on page 15 for
location of drain valve.
NOTE: We recommend that solid shortening not be
used in an Incredible Frying Machine Gas Fryer (IFM)
as they are not equipped with a melt cycle. 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.
WARNING
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!
WARNING
WATER (IN ANY FORM) AND HOT OIL DON’T MIX!!!
CAUTION: Oil expands when heated. The “Fill Level”
line has been provided to ensure optimum cooking
while ensuring the safety of the operator. Do not overfill
the fryer vessel.
Figure 3-1
Fill Level Line
Fill the fryer vessel with oil or MELTED solid shortening
up to the “Fill Level” line.
LIGHTING
WARNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT THE FRYER,
MAKE SURE THE GAS CONNECTIONS ARE
SECURE, HAVE BEEN LEAK TESTED, AND THE
FRYER HAS BEEN PROPERLY FILLED WITH
OIL.
1. Turn on main power switch.
2. Set thermostat to desired setting. (Between
325°F/162.8°C) – (335°F/165.3°C)
3. Once main power switch is on and the thermostat
is set, the following occurs:
a. Blower will start and blower indicating light will
come on.
b. After a preset six second delay, the gas valve
will open and the burner indicating light will
come on.
For your safety, the fryer is equipped with a “proof of air
flow” control. If the blower fails, the gas valve will not
open and the burner indicating light will not come on.
c. The spark module will light the burners
automatically.
d. The burner indicating light will be on whenever
the burners are on. The light goes off when the
oil has reached the desired temperature.
NOTE: The fryer cannot be operated during a power
failure as the electronic ignition system cannot be
operated.
NOTE: The thermostat can be turned off by turning it
fully counter clockwise until it clicks.
