IV 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,
weekly, 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
substantial 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.
Figure 4-1
Thermostat calibration with knob on
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 three 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.
C. Thermostat Bulb Positioning
BEFORE REPLACING, TEST THERMOSTATS:
These 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 burner
tube.
2. For gas fryers 10x11, 18 & up:
If the bulb is too loose, the paper will slip through
with little or no resistance. A fryer with a thermostat
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.
Short Cycle: The thermostat will cycle rapidly while
the fryer is in the idle mode; the temperature will be
erratic.
Thermostat Bulb Positioning 10x11, 18 & up Fryer Gas
REQUIRED TEST EQUIPMENT:
Multimeter (for testing continuity)
CHECKING CONTINUITY WITH THE MULTIMETER
1. Rotate the thermostat shaft until an audible click
is heard.
2. Rotate the thermostat shaft left and right ten times
causing the switch to click on and off ten times,
while using the Multimeter to verify continuity.
3. If the switch does not show continuity during all
ten trials, replace the thermostat.
WARNING
Disassembling the thermostat will void the thermostat
warranty.
1. Set compression ring onto capillary end of bulb
finger tight, 1/2” from end of capillary.
2. Insert new thermostat bulb through control panel
back.
3. Apply oil resistant flexible sealant onto
compression fitting thread before installing fitting
into fryer vessel.
4. Position bent portion of bulb against far right heat
transfer tube and install compression fitting snugly
into fryer vessel.
5. Adjust bulb so at least 2” of bent portion of it is
next to heat transfer tube and tighten
compression nut onto compression fitting for fryer
10x11, 18 & up. The end of thermostat bulb
should touch the burner tube for 14" fryers.
6. Refill fryer with oil to “fill level line”.
7. Start fryer, preheat and calibrate with
thermometer.

REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT OF
GREASE FILTER
The grease filter cleans grease from the air entering
the blower and burner assemblies, providing optimum
reliability and performance of the fryer. It consists of an
aluminum mesh which can be easily cleaned in a
dishwasher.
Removal:
1. Loosen filter handle thumbscrew (located on front
leg channel), drop handle down and slide filter
forward.
Replacement:
1. Center the filter under the filter handle thumbscrew
and slide it under the blower/spark module
assembly until goes in all of the way. Pull handle up
into place and tighten thumbscrew.

FLAME
ADJUSTMENT
A. Gas Pressure
1. At gas valve, remove adjustment port cover, (brass
screw located above the black electrical terminal
box), rotate adjustment screw with screwdriver and
replace port cover.
2. To check the gas pressure (3" WC for natural gas
or 10" WC for Propane, low input units 2.4"), use
an allen wrench to remove the gas pressure test
port, located in the center of the 1/2" pipe T-fitting
which feed the 3/8" aluminum burner gas supply
tubes.
B. Air Flow
1. The air shutter is located in the front of the blower
cabinet where the two air hoses enter the cabinet.
It consists of two plates, each located directly
above an air hose and held in place by a hex head
screw. (See item #9, page 18)
2. To adjust the air mixture, loosen the shutter screw
for one burner only and move the shutter up or
down until the proper gas/air mixture is reached for
that burner. Tighten the shutter screw and repeat
the process for the other burner.
3. To determine the proper gas/air mixture, look into
the viewing window for each burner, located just to
the left of each burner air hose where the hose is
connected to the burner assembly.

4. The burner air/gas mixture status chart shows the
burner flame characteristics over the complete
adjustment range of the air shutter. It can be used
to more accurately determine the burner air/gas
mixture to see if any adjustments are needed.
Each burner should be checked independently of
the other.

VI SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
A properly adjusted Keating Incredible Frying Machine Gas Fryer (IFM), with no load, will cycle “On” approximately
every 2-1/2 to 3 minutes. Each cycle will last 15 to 25 seconds, ensuring that the temperature setting is held within
a narrow band.
Every Keating Incredible Frying Machine Gas Fryer (IFM) has a number of safety controls to ensure safe
operation and guard against component failure.
